Default Quad Bi-Xenon projector retrofit setup

Ok, Ive been buying parts for this project for some time and to my knowledge, no on else has done this before to this degree.

So I am doing not two but 4 projectors in my headlights.

There are two e55 3" projectors going to be retrofitted where the normal headlight bulbs are at.

There will be two e46 2.5" projectors going in the turn bulb side.

Both sets of projectors will have the Gatling Gun shrouds over them.

The base of all four shrouds will have 120-125mm CCFL rings in them so the crown of the shrouds "vents" will still display light also.

There are four ballast but I already have two on my truck so only two are in the pics. There will be four D2S 6000k bulbs being used.

The bottom of the inner headlight measures about 17.5" so there will be one amber LED every inch across the bottom. These will be the parking lights and turn signals as the e46 projectors will displace that bulb.

Also, you can see there are chrome domed retainers used to mount the LEDs and for some nice decor.

The amber LEDs are 5mm, 20000 mcd and 30 degree viewing angle.

Lastly, the headlight will be paint matched using Mopar paint special ordered from the dealer.

Cost for all of this material plus new headlights? You dont wanna know.

Anywho.....here are some pics.....and as always, there are pics in the linked gallery in my sig.

Over all pic

Lots of cars used those projectors but I bought them off ebay. Because this is such a costly project I have had to watch where I spend the money if you know what I mean.

I would try but I dont think most people want to invest that much money in lights. I know I didnt really but the ONLY reason I did is because no one else has done it.

Thats also what made me do the gas tank swap also.
