05 headlight retrofit, looking for opinions

[Hatchman]

Turned out great! Cut off line looks amazing, very sharp.

Did you take any pictures of the back of the headlights and what did you use to seal it up with?

Yep here you go. Basically I had to sand down about 3mm to get it far enough to put the bracket and bolt on. Also notice I made a small grove at the bottom to put the wire through.

Next is the wide bracket



Then just screw in the nut and it compresses everything together.

Nope I mounted it once, pushed the reflector housing where I needed it to line(since projector is mounted to reflector, I just move the reflector) made measurements how Fa the reflector is from the base of headlight, and stacked some weather strip under it and glued it tight so it won't move...... Yeh I ghetto rigged it but I'm confident it will not move, and last. Lines perfectly on the first try.

Nice, those look sharp with the Saleen fascia! I've been wanting to do this for a while, started doing all the research into morimotos, 2", 3" lenses, what shroud to go with, etc. But I'm very wary because a lot of the '05 - '09 cars with them fitted end up with a sort of bug-eyed or eyeballs in a bare skull kind of look.

I don't think everyone can pull it off (I did some photochops and think mine would look weird), but they match your car great.

MORE PICS!

Looks great. I almost wish my car didn't have factory HID as the retrofits I did on my F150 and your pics seem to have better light output. Great job.
