Lightbulb [Project] Quad-Retrofit (56k Beware!!)

Hey all you HID lovers! Lets try something new...

First-ever: HHR Quad-Retrofit!!!

I have probably mentioned before (in misc. threads) that I am starting a new project. After my first retrofit I got hooked on lighting mods/projects. I am currently running FX-R's (see sig), but I decided that I wanted to be a little more 'unique' than the other retrofitters on here. I have been collecting supplies for quite some time now, and still have a few more things left on my wish list. BUT, I figured it was probably time to show you some of the progress that I have made. ...it's not much, but hey...

First, let me tell you that this will be a VERY SLOW PROJECT thread! So don't be upset if it doesn't get updated with new pics all the time. I am a full time student and go to work on my days off of school, so needless to say, time is limited..

Anyways, this is the beginning:

Now, the projector that you see right there is a Morimoto Mini H1. It is sticking out a lot farther than what it will be in the months to come, but this is merely for mock up and fitment of the turn signal deletion (turn signals are getting relocated as custom LED boards).

Cool, I was wondering how you planned to do the front signals.

They will most likely be located behind the Panamera shroud (the two left/right sides of the center hole). I will be running about 24 5mm Amber Superflux LEDs @~50mA for the two headlights; so 12 per shroud.

Nice looking retro you have going on there! I'm starting to think after all my performance mods are done this might be the next time/money sink for me
