    I took apart some Acura TSX headlights and they had a huge silica pack glued to the side of the housing next to the projector bowl. About the same size as a packet of airplane peanuts.

    Justyn98 just started a thread that he’s doing a set of these. I’ll see if he will post some. I’m just curious because this is a cool idea and the lights look nice too. Good idea if you thought of it :thumbsup:

    First time I've seen this done, I was actually considering it myself, I have a motorcycle with a 7" round headlight with a drop in LED lamp and kept eyeballing how close the stock reflector and the 7" round were in size. Good to know it's doable with great results.

    Hhmmm...

    Good thing I REALLY need another project going on... :bananadead:

    GE Nighthawk 7" round for reference on my bike.
