Default My SC with Retro's = Awesomeness..~! NO to 56K...!

OK, so with the help of Emoshun, i was able to get these retro's done and they came out pretty nice, and cut off looks way better than stocks... output is great...!
tsx projectors with d2s phillips 4300k 85122+, Fogs are 5000k but waiting for my new 3000k kit to come in this week
here are a few pics of my cutoff, retro's and fun pics.... Let me know what you think.... Enjoy

no, not blinding at all..... these projectors hold the cut-off pretty good.... there may be minimal glare from the inner housing, but not enough to make you squint your eyes.

Do you have a power buffer or something? Cuz i could use help buffing my headlights too.

Nice retrofit. I've done hid retrofits before and its soo much effort trying to get the projector in there and lining it up right. The SC is def one of the better cars to work on because it has a level built into the headlights. To be honest i kinda like my glare, sure i dont get a cool blue cutoff line but it does help me read signs on the road.

haha.... well tell you the truth, i didn't even buff my headlights yet haha. i just wet-sanded them and polished it up by hand.... i did wet sand up to 6000 grit and it did look very clean.... about to purchase the 8000 and 12000 just to make it even better/cleaner.

I want to do a new retrofit on my SC now after seeing how nice and shiney yours looks. Those headlights look super clean. I always wondered if my car was the only one that had the reflection above the cutoff line (on the wall in your 3rd pic). What ring did you put over the projectors?

old dwp bumpers ftl...mine look all yellow too compared to the car.
