Headlight work, suspension parts, cows (pictures, lots of them)

**epj3** · Sun, Apr-13-2008, 12:18:09 AM

Finally picked up another digital camera (after being down to nothing for a few months)

Car, all dirty

Dash, all dirty. No idea why the memo light is on, oops.

Cows

Finally got a helmet

Headlights before. Holy rock chips bat man. This is why I hate living in PA.

Drilling out my headlight's glass shrouds

What a terrible sound. $12 ebay diamond hole saw x10.

Installed, yes the driver's side projector is too high.

$600 of suspension goodies

Bling? (City lights ftw) You can see the fx35 projectors are so wide, the nose of the car cuts off part of the beam, WOW!

Nice car, post up some of the cutoff shots of your fx35 retrofit. That'd be pretty cool to see.

Eh there are pictures all over the place, I don't think my camera will fare too well at night (since it lacks almost any manual setting)

Car look great man!!!

How does cuttin the glass on the lights help. Thinkin i may try it but wanted to know the benefits are.

I had to do it out of necessity - I mounted the FX35 projectors pretty far forward as not to lose beam width, so the glass pieces would have hit the projector's lens. On a stock projector, there's really no reason to spend the time cutting the glass.

Oh yea, one more:

Damn that is a clean headlight setup.

What car are the projectors from? I might PM you later for more info.
