Hi guys, feel free to follow along (or not). I'll be continuously posting updates on this as I make progress. Starting a new job tomorrow, so I'll be doing a little at a time. I used to run a DDM kit in stock housings, but realized how blinding they were and pulled them out. Promised myself that I wouldn't run HIDs again unless I could do a proper retrofit.

Well, I sold a camera lens and will be using some of the profit to do it. I'll be following powerz69's awesome how-to thread and will be doing the headlights like r1lukasz did. The only difference is mine will have clear or blacked out reflectors....haven't decided yet:

Step 1: Order materials.........


Step 1 COMPLETE! :wookie:

Ordered:
--Headlights with clear reflectors (eBay)
--Chrome turn signal bulbs (eBay)
--Stage III kit mentioned in how-to thread





And the guinea pig....wish me luck, guys! :rocker:

Good luck Matt! I'm sure you'll have a great set of lights when it's all said and done!

They look good but do they put out much actual light?
