    Did you fabricate them yourself? What rod did you use 7018, flux core? Looks like you stick welded them from the photo.

    Nice work BTW..

    Yeah I use the company's welder. And it is 7018 rod. Company perk. Rod, welder and anything else I could get my hands on. And thanks.

    I have the same perk, we have a full machine shop, and sheet metal shop.

    Mills, Lathe, Lasers, Press Brakes, Welders, etc. comes in handy..

    ^^^ I haven't cut the holes yet so I guess I can go smaller but I was thinking more like 2.5 I just need to draw the holes on to see how it looks then I can go from there. I'll keep you in mind when I'm ready tho. Thanks lunch would be on me.

    QUICK?! shit started them Last night! lots of trimming to the housing rear so the projector would extend out enough to secure it... then had to trim the hell out of the shroud to make it fit... still don't have the halo's hooked up... thinking of just hooking them up to the parking lights... is that what you did?


    Yeah did a retro fit of HID projectors...

    just got back from a drive... they needed aiming but DAMN they're bright!

    now heading back out with them adjusted:D

    No retro for me. Just BHLM. But it sounds like you should hook the Halos to the parking lights.
