Thanks for all the positive word guys! I just wanted to see what everyone thought of them before they get sealed in the headlight.

Just have it setting there for mock up, no way to get the lens off while on the car.

The only thing i could say about it scott, would have been to angle the small projector the same as the low beam projector. I hate how it was designed angled away from the low beam projector. Just messes up the flow for me. When i did my headlights i decided to just remove the condom, paint the stalk black, and leave it be. Painting it black makes it disappear unless you look REEALLLYYYY close. So the LED looks like its just floating there.


10 points for creativity for sure bro, as usual

DEFINITELY lovin' it. It looks factory.
That's true, if you angled the cut of the clear base plate you could make the little projector angle exactly like the big projector. Might not look as clean though? Keep em just as they are def!

I thought the city light being angled was just the way it looked due to its postion against the slanted housing wall. I will measure it and see. If it is slanted I could easily correct for it, just need to get another factory part to cut on.

Its looking like a landslide victory for the mini projector! Cant wait to get my lights all done, of course I could use a running engine first.
