freshly made EG hid headlights
Finally got my hid headlights made. Ill show you what i did.
First i bought a pair of ebay JDM headlights that came with corner lights (not shown) for $105 and they are glass i was surprised
And a set of catty XLR Bi xenon HID lights for $232
As soon as i got the headlights i put them in the oven at 300 for 10 min
then separated them
took out the shiny reflective **** and cut the were needed
painted the inside black
And finally installed the catty HIDs, even use the original adjustment screws and had to add one
Then, put them back in the oven for about 5 mins to heat the clue up and put the housing back together to finish them off
I didn't make a inside shield to cover the HID housing cause i think it looks cool that way. so all together i paid like 340
Also does anyone know how to hook the high beams up. There is 4 wires, two for the hid ballas and the other two for the high beam solenoid

Re: (tnk)
same I'd like to see how nice these cutoffs are...oh yeah!!!!
No idea on how those high beams work; bi-xenon out of my range sorry. =X
btw, I would've been happy just finding jdm lights like those and keepin em that way (unless the ones you got weren't in that great of condition).

i think he wants a pic of the back of the headlight housing after you finish sealing everything up.
