Projector Retrofit, Finally Done! Light Output Shots Here Now!

What's up guys?
Finally finished the retrofit, here are some pics, more of light output to come later

PS, sorry for pics being mixed up lol don't really know how to post them the way I'd like

Also, thanks to Gearbox for the referral to wire up the High beams.

LIGHT OUTPUT PICS FINALLY UP!!!
Wasn't able to use the good camera, but oh well, take a look

Ps, the fogs are actually a really nice yellow, as are the High beams. But the camera doesn't really pick up that colour very well. Oh and the projectors themselves don't shine quite that blue either. I'll try and get some pics up with a better camera soon enough. But these will do for now

Not gonna lie, my alignment isn't perfect haha! But it's my first retro so I'm letting a few things slide.
I would have posted them, but my Mom JUST got this brand new camera for her birthday yesterday, so I'm gonna snap some shots with it tonight

Haha I knooooow sorry! I've been tinkering with them all week to get the alignment as good as I can, I even ripped one light apart again to adjust the position of the projector inside the housing lol.
So after a painful week of all this stuff, I think the alignment is about as good as it's gonna get.
I'll post pics tonight. Sorry bout the wait guys lol

Re: Projector Retrofit, Finally Done! Light Output Shots Here Now!

Maybe it's just the camera but it looks like you're gonna be blinding some drivers judging by the pictures of the lights (not on the wall)

Lol they're actually not at all. The pics are way different than real life. My fogs are a nice yellow colour and hardly have any glare, I've seen my car driving behind me and all you see is just the colour They look great.
That glare is all the work of the camera... unfortnately

Yea bro, just the camera. I have yet to be flashed at all, and I've seen the car on the road, they're not that bright to oncoming traffic or to people in front of me, they give off a gorgeous purple/blue colour - the camera just picks up way too much glare lol

And also, there are a couple pics of the high beams there too eh?? So those will blind people lol but I don't cruise around with them on
