Ok the retro may work out but damn, you have so much silicon on your headlights that it could seal up 10 headlights, i've seen cleaner.

Rep Power: 0 had hard time to close this headlights...cuz this projectors are too big and shroud is touching the front cover so had to put lot of silicon to hold it hard.....and its gone in under the hood anyway.....will have black ducktap so it don't look bad when i open the hood......

Rep Power: 306 i would advise against the black duct tape on the headlights to cover up the silicone. the heat from the sun in the summer along with the engine could cause the adhesive backing to get really messy and hard to remove the sticky stuff.

Rep Power: 813 i am worried about aiming too. do you have a wall nearby at least...and i guess you'll have the bumper off and stuff too. not looking forward to that part.
Last time I had this much fun some furniture got broken!

Rep Power: 362 i think the s2000 has the nicest ive seen in person. aston martin db9s are amazing too, though.

Rep Power: 813 my fav hid are s2k, TL, and audi because they dont glare nearly as much as the others. and they look good color wise without being too ricey like the new maxima projectors.
i seen a red gallardo at night.. its like 2 stars behind you. there is some special Valeo projector that is wider then the S2000. did you guys see the Z mod on a CRX TL+S2000 retro? the guys cutoff on the wall is every rainbow color. When hes driving it does flicker purple like normal cars, you see red green yellow purple, everything.

Rep Power: 813 thats how my fogs are on the ground at the cutoff, even tho i have yellow in there, you can still tell. with white you could see all the colors. it just depends on shield shape and bends.
