Omg, just noticed you've done the Particlewave's deambering method.

Nice work right there... car looks 12 years younger Craig

Ok, preparing to install the projector today. It's black, as is the car. I'm considering not painting anything inside, just keeping the chrome and silver/grey. Thoughts?

Also, I destroyed the rubber seal between the car and the headlight. Can't seem to find it on Pelican or Suncoast. Any ideas?

Refer to my post #821 for the rubber seals. The stuff you can get from Home Depot works great:

My projectors are black and I left the inside reflector bowl chrome as well as the other parts stock (no painting). To be honest, I kind of think they would look good black though. If you do paint the inside black, I would only do the chrome reflector bowl and leave the clear plastic sleeves as-is, unpainted. Just my 2 cents.

Swaff, can you show me a close up shot, lights on and off?

Sorry for the delay...here are some closeups of my lights. Silver reflector behind black projectors.






Glad you enjoyed the pic, Fred! I will post the picture of the silver projectors once I get around to doing the retrofit on them!
