*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.

the rotational is actually pretty good. i thought the z-step would be little bigger so its little hard to tell.
are those bixenon? they look huge.

yeah, they are bixenon. the z step doesnt look big in those pics, because i parked the car really close to the wall/door, and i took the pics during the day.
i decided to make a covering to hide the projector. so they are still not on the car yet. i was wondering wut material i should use for that?? 
it's my job to tease

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.
