Yeah, the quad setup was finished in November of 2009. First version had the shrouds painted black, the second version had the shrouds left chrome. It's a pretty cool setup for its time, although I would definitely change a few things if I could do it over again.

Wow, it's been that long.

I like the 'Gattling Gun' look of the black shrouds.

I want to redo my retro as well with a quad setup and CCFL lighting......would probably go with the same black shroud look.

lol yeah, more than I'd like to remember.

OEM headlight housings
TYC clear lenses (destroyed a set of TYC headlights just for the lenses)
AP1 S2000 xenon projectors
E30 clear lenses
TL bixenon projectors
ZKW clear lenses
2 sets of e46 replica chrome shrouds
4-chip superflux custom printed led circuit boards
2 sets of Philips LVQ-212 ballasts (new)
2 sets of Philips LVQ-212 ballast covers (new)
2 sets of Philips 85122+ bulbs (new)
custom wiring
professional wetsanding/buffing/polishing/re-clearing of headlight lenses

Adding in labor and shipping, I'd guesstimate I spent around $2000 on the setup. I just wish I was able to enjoy them...sorry for the off-topic OP.
