Its not so much as it being alot of work, as it is being very very tedious. I'm sure you could do the process faster, but im sure the outcome would suffer.

The process could be done in a single.....***** to the wall....day, and like i've said before, if your just resealing/polishing it is much faster, but i want better than OEM

LoL, nope hasnt died at all, i just actually have to work sometimes at work...strange isnt it .

I'll be at it for a while, once i get my lows back in, the fogs are coming off to have the projectors out of the ebay headlights (lows) installed in them, and then wired for HID as well.

Just read this entire thread and really look forward to doing this on mine. I was thinking painting my reflector white, (matching the car) but not sure how it'll look. I never thought about delining though, can't wait to see how yours turns out, good luck!

Exclamation

Alright guys, I call upon the broad wisdom of CL to help me choose a brand of HID kit to stuff into these headlights.

Has to be 6000k, and $175 or less.

Who makes it and where to get it from?

(Im not afraid to cut the harness, but plug and play is a big +)

Hurry up and finish these things, I cant wait to see the finished product. I know nothing of HID's. For me as long as they light up, it passes tech.
