A couple people over on foxtbirdcougarforums have done it the right way

From what I seen a lot of customization needs to be done to fit some projector lenses in the headlights
One day I'll do it though, I have a couple sets of headlights that are too far gone to use as is lol

Here is a link to the thread where I documented the process from start to finish. It's pretty cool to look back and see how a simple idea morphed into the completed project.

I'm very interested in a set of clear lenses and the backing piece around the projector housing. I'm almost in a name your price position, lol. I remember you were talking about doing a set for the corner and marker lights, if you've made it that far, I might be interested in those as well.

Yea they wont look great in that housing. I put a set in my 93 EGT with very foggy headlights. I'm that guy. And I blind everyone I'm sure. But I can see GREAT!
