^Thanks Gary. Don't drive my car much at night (just to and from work during the day once a week) but the few times I have was awesome a huge difference over stock. Wish the 1st gen Sedans came with projectors stock.

Will get a vid or pics up tomorrow.

Here are some pics of the headlights when we had them open and were painting the housings and shrouds. We made some adjustments to the aiming after these were taken.

Quote: ^Thanks for all your help with this project Albert. Great suggestion on the 50W ballasts and bulbs. Would the 50W ballasts mount easily in the OEM location?

Depends on which brand of 50W ballasts that you go with. I mounted mine in an easy access location, since the quality control isn't great on these things, you may end up going through 1 or 2 before you find one that will last.

The oem 35w ballasts are more than enough output and have a lot longer life IMO.

I've thought about going with 50w many times but can't justify the price vs gains.
