Default Another Q45 retrofit into 2GS w/ New Projector Brackets!

Usually, we wouldn't post pictures of this retrofit since it's been done a thousand times before...

But this one is slightly different, we've got new projector brackets thats going into this one! The multiple piece bracket that Soaristo designed has been upgraded!

More pictures to follow as we receive the parts...

The donor headlight...freshly ripped from the oven...

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of progress pictures, but here are nearing completion shots...ENJOY!

Ready to crack the lights open! Yummm...sport design housings...




Getting ready to mount the new brackets! Also painted the Q45 body to match the Sport Design housing much better!


Our exclusive new brackets compared to the factory reflector bowl. No Mickey Mouse mounting jobs with this retro...


Mounted, fits like a glove! Adjusts like factory


A nice closeup before everything is sealed up! We'll let the owner post final pictures when he's ready

Default Wow!

That looks really nice! The bracket made it an easier transition I imagine. Who would be crazy enough to retrofit a pair of Sport Design headlights as costly as they are? Great job all around!
