3 series retrofit complete
 
finally, it is complete! there is at least 10 times more foreground lighting now than with the valeo projectors. there was a loss of color in the cutoff, but hell, the foreground lighting more than makes up for that. AND i have bi-xenon projectors so i have HID low AND HIGH!

dirtySAMURAI 05-05-2005 07:52 PM

^ retrofitted bi-xenon projectors into the main reflector of my OEM headlights. had to cut/drill/sand a lot of stuff to get it to fit

NightRider02 05-05-2005 07:59 PM

now its time for some rims biatch!

dirtySAMURAI 05-05-2005 08:00 PM

nah. staying with steelies. i'm saving for bigger things as of now.

if you really want to see my car with rims, though, just imagine some bronze, thick 5 spoke wheels on the vic lol

ExZaCc 05-05-2005 08:01 PM

LowSky 05-05-2005 08:09 PM

dirtySAMURAI 05-05-2005 08:14 PM

runner1738 05-06-2005 10:14 AM

how long have you had this done, since that first pic looks like its been posted before, or maybe im just having de ja vue or something, but awesome job, why lid low and high though?

dirtySAMURAI 05-06-2005 10:15 AM

the first pic is a similar picture to this:

http://www.dirtysamurai.com/images/retro/back01.jpg

but with the ZKW you can actually see the cutoff line is more prominent than in the picture above (H7 valeo)

CiviCoupe2k2 05-06-2005 12:54 PM

Really nice...
