    It was the FLA guys that got me into TW watching the Blackhorse youtube videos. I used to talk to Mike Sprucetaco all the time but haven't heard from him in a while.

    Thanks! It's pretty easy so far; it's crazy that people are willing to pay up to 1k to have retrofits done. I only spent 350 lol.

    Next part, I did the passive demon eye mod today. I used some engine paint and I applied it by brush. I sprayed the paint into a coke can. The whole thing took about 2 hrs with drying time included. I wish the red was brighter.
    quick tip, if you ever use spray paint make sure to warm the can up by placing it in warm water so the paint comes out smoothly and not splattered.

    The ballast is just tucked in somewhere in there; but it doesn’t seem like a mess, not screwed down to anything but not to the point it’s dangling around

    So I kinda screwed up on my headlights; I wasn't able to do a proper alignment on the projectors. The H4 adapter plate didn't have enough adjustment room and so I thought that I couldn't do anything about it, but thanks to @Uki Monstah he was able to help me with the problem. He had the same problem too. Big shout out to @Uki Monstah for helping with the problem. Thanks bro!! :thumbsup:

    Here are some pictures I took of the teardown and painting the parts.
