[Nate's Alero]

Well, here is my RSS thread,

will be updated as i make progress into making my set of projectors, and eventually selling sets to aleromodders. this will be the thread to which breakthrough and problems/bugs have occured, and when they were fixed.

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 :lol:, got another trick up my sleeve though!

Look into some projectors off eBay BMW Audi and so forth.
No offense but that cut off looks like ass

[Nate's Alero]

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 :lol:

got another trick up my sleeve though, gonna see more progress made tommrow :)

need HID bulbs to make projector headlights look like they're supposed to

September 5th - Just ordered myself four new BMW Projectors!!! WHOHOO!!

[colonel6632]

do projectors enhance the light or anything... or are they mostly for looks

[clutch1]

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.

yea those bmw projectors will probably work better than chopped up fog light housings

yea those bmw projectors will probably work better than chopped up fog light housings

ah, being on a budget sucked,

BUT

getting four E3 housings for 100$.....sweetness :-D

... 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.
