Default Projector headlights

I meant to take pictures and do a write-up but i forgot my camera on the day I did this mod...






I'll take picture of the bike once she's back together.... Right now I'm working on my plastics, so once it's back together I'll get pictures of the light output.

You'll get more comments when there's a bike involved. Don't be so quick to judge people here.

I can see the pics, but without you actually turning the lights on and showing how they look on the bike, there's no way we can judge how good/effective they are ....or how they are different from teh stock headlights.

i thought projector headlights needed more power than traditional? so what are you going to use to power them?

i thought projector headlights needed more power than traditional? so what are you going to use to power them?

The projector is piece of glass in front of a bulb(kind of like half a ball) kind of like a magnifying glass that makes things larger. Why would it use more power? The only thing that would change it would be the type of bulb used. If he uses hids there will be even less power consumption.

I would have loved to do some projector headlights on anything that didn't have it but I can only imagine how tough it would be to make everything just right.

I found a cadillac sts that had hids laying on the ground and was going to use the glass from the projectors but there was no way I'd be able to fabricate anything to make it work.

I want to see pics on the outcome.
