No, mine are not finished. However, there are a couple guys that have done this already, I'm by no means the groundbreaker in this case. Pictures have been less than common... I'll see if I can find some links.

And here's a link to a thread with some pics of how to modify the 7x6 housings: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?94101-my-projector-retrofit
I am going to do twin 50 mm morimoto mini d2s in mine. With 3k es300 fogs, and twin 6k's in the buckets I should be good

Any tips on how you waterproofed the projectors?
/\ I used clear silicone sealant/adhesive to re-attach the the clear lens to the H4 housing & in the back where I cut out the hole for the TSX Projector as well. I also used Aluminum Foil tape on the back side of the H4 housing & projector. Info on the Alum Tape http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-aluminum-tape.htm

That's a great idea! I've been building molds to make fiberglass covers for the back, but I think I'll ditch that idea in favor of tape. There's some crazy tough tape that works in huge temp ranges. Never even thought of that!
Thanks!
Thanks!
Dave I have worked with that tape in the past and it is awesome, but unless it is perfectly flat it will leave/have creases in it that will allow moisture to bypass it. Just a heads up.
Whats the best way to take apart the cheap ebay headlights? Heating them up, or just trying to split them apart w/ a pair of flatheads or something?
I think i'll do this "mod" nexted.... In my area "Newark NJ" there are so many effin cars with HIDS in cars that do not come stock with them that i actually tinted my windows which was something i did not want to do, but its annoying with a Hyundai accent behind you with 1000000000K watt HID builbs... smh

Yeah man, those douchebags use their HID's and think it makes there car look cool.
I put my HID's in my high beams on my 740IL so I have an option when to use it.
Example, some idiot cuts me off on the high way, left lane, and starts to drive slow. I put on my HID's which lights up his whole car and that makes them move out of the lane.
OK guys. I think I can make them in such a way that you wouldn't have to cut anything major (maybe a little grinding on the plastic bracket piece behind the headlight), but it requires special bulbs. Going with normal bulbs looks like you'll have to notch the metal bracket behind the headlights that bolts to the core support.
As I'm going to be making them to sell, input would be appreciated
