dammmmmmmmmmmmmmm that sucks!
well not exactly step one... just buy some new headlights bake the lense off and stick it on that modified one... suprising how alittle bit of glue can hold that strong! i had my other headlights stick realy hard together just by touching it to anything. just a bit of glue holding strong.

Well they are done... for now, once i get the funds and such to finish them to the point i want, which requires new headlights, and a new shroud (good ones are expensive) they are going to stay the way they are for now, if they suck cause of how they are now then i may just say **** it and go back to the old setup. anyway, here are the completed pics

I know i promised a DIY on this, but with the cracked headlight it has dettered me from it. I will do a write up for how it SHOULD be done, and post that sometime soon after they are installed, and just use my pics as reference.

ya hid retrofits are preaty straight forward in my opinion... just most people dont do it cause of the $$ involved. id love to have them retrofited BUT i dont want to spend that much money! i got other things that i can use almost 1K bucks for.LOL

Heres some output pics of the retrofit, it's prety crappy right now, i accidentally mounted the projectors too low and an adjuster screw is stripped on the passenger side so it won't adjust properly, i'm going to try and fix the drivers more, then redo them after the winter or when i feel like it later on

They are high low, but i am having an issue with the passenger headlight right now, the highbeam comes on when i have the headlights off and i flash them, but if i have the headlights on and turn on the highbeam it doesn't come on, i'm going to look at it tomorrow since i'm off work, and can get outside before 5pm when it's dark out
