Grey Ghost DIY Projector Headlight Pt II
 
This isn't my first post on my homemade headlights and probably won't be the last. I noticed a lot more people opening their headlights wanted to show you how some ideas if you wanted to add some LED action to your set up. This is just pics on ideas. I will post a how to with in a few days. For the people who ask me to make them some I can't right now I am going out of the country for a few months in a few weeks, but I can walk you through it. The only really hard part is he opening. The rest is just glue and spray foam in opinion. Wire tapping and wire running is up to you on what light effect you want. My angel eyes are DRL so are have constant power from the sunroof fuse. The "Audi style" running lights use the corner lights power. The angel eye blinker and strip run off the blinkers. Another thing about the LED blinkers is the light defuser covers. It dampens the brightness a bit, but they look so much better with them on. I didn't add a resistor so they run fast and I like it like that, but I lost control over cruise control. The projector I got from my friends mustang's headlights. Projector kits usually cost around $90 to $150. I cut a hole in the "halogen bean cup" and put the projector in from the back, spray filled the cup with foam and let it dry over night. Cut away the access with a razor and paint. You can aim the HID beam with the headlight tilter inside.

Not until recently. When ever I would change something or take them out I would have to undo the wire tap or just cut the wire.

H1 from another headlight. The rings are from Superbrightleds.com $9 a piece.

I had a feeling they were from SuperBright. I was contemplating buying a pair from them too but ended up running out of budget haha

Paychecks are amazing things Trucky. :) Next week. :lol:

Still two months later and I still haven't bought the rings. I am actually going to be completely redoing my headlights again [I gotta one-up you Double0!] I have new plans for a pair of DEPOs I am ordering.
