looks nice and clean. the aiming is good too. 7th cuttoff pics looks kinda off. but w/ the tyc u cant really rotate unless u make an adaptor. the other cuttoff pics look well aimed. got some nice color from those clear valeos.

arn't u glad u did the retro yourself. it wasn't that hard right? The hardest thing was probably aiming the projectors.
what are u doing w/ the other set of headlights? Thats a lot of silicone used to hold the h7 projectors.

I too am going to do a retrofit soon. This is what I have to work with as of right now:

and it's beam patter(on my ceiling):

Everything came out of a headlamp for a 2004 Nissan Maxima. I've only got one right now, but I have a second on the way.

The projectors I'm not sure about, they're the ones used in an 04 maxima.

Everything tests out good. I just have to get some cash to get new housings so I can get to work.
