*Updated* My Retrofit
*update 1* added some more pics of my progress. will post pics of final result, when i have free time 











Well guys, i know everyone has been asking for pics. So here are some i took last sat












if u can tell, there is a color diff. between the 2 bulbs. the guy that gave them to me, gave me 1 4300k phillips 85122 and 1 4300k phillips 85122+ bulb. I'm gonna replace them with 5000k to get rid of the yellow that u see in the pics. And i took these pics, before i did the washer mod.

Re: My Retrofit
looks good, i think they are fine even without shrouds to be honest. get a new pair of 85122 bulbs and after around 100 hrs or so they will be nice and white. its not worth getting anything else.
