OUTPUT PICTURES: Longest retro ever...

Re: MORE PICTURES: Longest retro ever...

hows the foreground light? it looks like you mounted the projector pretty low so you're probably losing a bit of foreground light. im doing mine the other way, mounting them higher and i putting the flat part of the e46 shroud on the top instead of the bottom like you did.

that's what i was gonna do, but then i switched it so they'd sit better. and i'm not sure i'll go check for ya. they're not aimed properly.

Re: MORE PICTURES: Longest retro ever...

They definitely look like they were mounted pretty low, I'm certain you're losing a decent amount of foreground light output because of that. Still a nice project though, not many people take the time to do these yourself, it's tedious work when done properly.

It looks good! Although its pointing down abit low. I did what KnightRyder said about using the flat part of the shroud as the top part so the projector isnt pointing down so much, and it fit snugly with some more cutting of the shroud.

you may want to pickup a set of fog lights if you decide there's too much missing foreground light. but luckily you did mount the projectors pretty far forward so it may not be too bad.

Re: MORE PICTURES: Longest retro ever...

those look fvckin awesome, and i love how the illuminated corners look since you left them unpainted. The retro looks hella clean.

It's been raining off and on for a week here too, put a damper on alota stuff.
