The Projector......

September 3rd - Got the light all assembled, and now im waiting for the silicone to dry
September 4th - The light is LIT!!! WHOHOO!!
September 4th, Mid Afternoon - The light ran into some issues, the bulb melted the housing  , got another trick up my sleeve though!

Ah, the cutoff, well the projector was originally intended for a bulb to go into the chamber vertically, but i chopped it up and slid it in horizontally, and it SEEMED to work, until the housing melted

They change the light pattern that comes out... much better suited for a brighter bulb, like and HID. Reflector housings scatter the light more, but with a halogen bulb that's ok.

... These usually go for cheap too... And they're bi-xenon. Most 2004s were replaced under warranty because of the turn signal fogging over, but the headlight itself was fine.
