Default Pic request: HID retrofit into Ek headlights

I've seen a few but I don't really like how they look retrofitted into them. To me it looks like those ebay angle eye lenses.

Anyways, post up if you have any HID projectors retrofitted into Ek headlights.

wouldn't that be bad tho? I've heard it's not good for an hid headlight to blink, I would imagine it's the same for the blinker.

Actually we went over it many, many times before deciding on what to do. Most of the time when you see people's retro-fits it's just the projector sitting in the headlight. Not alot of people take that extra step to cover it and make it a clean setup. I ask for custom shrouds to be made to fit around the projector...now the S2000 isn't as big as some, but they are still not made for these headlights. I wanted something that was clean and could almost be OEM. These were the first set of headlights they did like this and i'm sure second time around we could change it up a little bit, make it a little tighter, but as far as i'm concerned these are perfect. Everything is functional, even the city lights, and they give me more sight than i need some nights. http://CustomLightz.com FTW
