Default first mods

I bought my Durango about a month ago. Its an 03 SLT with 110k km (60k mi) and will be primarily driven by the wife.

Her last ride, a 03 PT Loser GT she constantly complained about the crappy headlights. So with this one, I spared no expense with upgrading the lighting.

I looked at the one piece headlights on ebay, but didnt like them much, so I decided to put together a projector kit on my own.

Mods:
New Depo headlight lenses off fleabay
New clear corners off fleabay
Projector Retrofit with halo's & devil eyes from Retro-Solutions.com
HID's 6000k from Retro-Solutions
92 LED Switchback (Amber/6000k white) front turn signals from V-Led's
92 LED Red Rear Turn & Stop Lamps from V-Led's
LED Super Bright Fog Lights from V-Led's
7 Watt High Output Cree Backup Lamps from Retro Solutions
Super Bright Backup License plate frame from V-Led's
4 LED marker lights off ebay.

I have got most of it installed, except the backup license plate frame. I need to do some wiring work to get the devil eyes working properly cause of the DRL lights messing with them. Here are a few images of what Ive done.

Clear Corners Installed




Projector Installed in Lens

I don't like the blue lighting personally, but it does look decent other then that. Love the devil eyes!
