i got 6000k bulbs...they have just a hint of blue. i put my angel eyes behind the apolo shrouds, i just didnt like the way i was going to have to attache them to the front of the shrouds. just seemed cheap looking, wish they came pre attached i really like the way they look. picture 4 shows what it looks like with them on.

here are some pics

 

looks good!

 

thanks! id probably be willing to make some for people pretty cheaply if anyone doesnt want to tackle it themselves.

total cost for all parts was 393.00

 

well after some leakage i ended up pulling stuff back apart.

i decided to put the angel eyes on the outside of the apollos. here are some new pics.

hopefully the water problem is fixed as im really tired of taking them out

 

What did you use to seal these ?

 

the glue from TRS and afterwards a couple beads of silicon on the outside edges.

 

Nice. I like how you left the housing chrome. Didn't want to tackle the FX-R's?

 

i thought it looked more stock with the housing chrome, i do like the all blacked out version too.

as this was my first ever retro, and as a matter of fact first time ive played with a headlight like that, i decided to take the easier route. i dont think i would have a problem with the fx-r retro though now.
