Looks good, but you seriously need to aim that thing lower.

Looks good! Those are regular halogen bulbs in there right? Not HID?

Good job doing things the right way. I can't stand people who just throw in hid bulbs without the projectors, it blinds the hell out of people.

I was wondering how you did the rear of the housing? From what I've heard, the E55's are too big in the rear and require hacking up the black outside rear housing for clearnace. how did you seal this up? I assume the stock rubber piece doesnt cover the hole..? I've seen some guys use liquid plastic or something and then paint it.. TIA

Just checking because some people just retrofit projectors and run regular halogens while working on a suitable HID kit.

They do require hacking to the headlight housings, but no one really ever post pics of it

yeh it required a little bit of hacking, but not that much. the stock rubber piece wont fit on ther anymore. you can use silicone to seal it up. on mine it uses nissan sealant to seal up the lense back again.

ill take a picture of the rear tomorrow and post it up
