so after long hours of working on this, from 4pm yesterday til 4am this morning, then again from 12-2 to complete this morning, it is finally done. I've been accumulating parts from The RetroFit Source (i'd like to thank matt for all the help) for a while in preparation to do this how i wanted it to come out. The parts list consists of
-(2) sets of morimoto mini D2s
-(4) E46 extended shrouds with centering rings
-DDM tuning 9003 hid kit (D2s adapter)
-(4) morimoto 35w 5k bulbs
-(2) 90mm CCFL halo rings
-(2) 2.5" clear projector lens










i foud a very easy way to grind out the amber on the turn signal, hole saw on a drill

new bulbs still adjusting just working on aligning at 3:45 am

my wife has my camera, so i had to take iphone pics for now, i'll take some night shots tonight.

wow!!! very clean!!!
this is one of those jobs, that i dont think any amount of money could make me wanna go through it again...i would say, in total (counting initial top retro), i spent about 40 hours on the entire thing. definitely not an easy job, to those of you that do this consistently, i give you props.

+1 on never wanting to do it again. My retrofit (just one set of morimotos) took 18-20 hours and I wouldn't do it again unless I was being paid very nicely.
