Building some projectors out of some Depo'd

I have got my Depo's out of the oven and sprayed the reflector a satin black, wired in the amber halo and angel eyes. Still have some parts on back order, more pix to come as I progress

Very cool. Will the projectors be as wide and full bodied as the origional patter of light or primarily longer distance but giving up some of the width?

Pictures do not do them justice.... A lot of work, But totally worth the time and money.

Projectors finally finished!



Even unlit, they look pretty cool






Pictures can't do these justice... The problem is they are so bright, it's hard to focus camera. Totally worth the time energy and even the money







Playing around with the wiring to get what light to come on when I want them to.

Note... Bulbs are 6000's so they are a very white light, focused, even and wide. I can't even tell when I turn on the fog lights any more.
