So I have my very first pair of headlights I opened and after learning a lot over the last 4 sets I've finally decided to reopen them. Theonky thing I did to them the first time was add a flush mount led pod in place of the high beam. This time I plan to add a D2S Morimoto 3" projector with black passive demon eyes and rgbw demon eyes with a halo on the shroud. Also adding an etch to the lens. I've only had them open for three days and already got a lot done. 05c0075d43d1d74afc4324b8e7b55ef9.jpgc55c6b03b859fb03d0d2917a7cbcd405.jpgcf8f87a80449d606e4524329f18ff223.jpg

Liking it a lot. I want to do another set with the Mini D2S 5.0 and Hi-Lens, same as what I did for my first build, but get a set of Mopar black quads. Looking at the extended dust caps from a Durango (HID) headlight.

this is pretty sweet i am wanting to do something different with my headlights and am having trouble making a choice. I like the way this looks alot. How difficult was it to put the projectors in? and how does the demon eye work do you have a separate switch for it? can you change the color? also minus the led pods what do you have in money wise if you dont mind me asking. If i peiced it together correctly im looking at about 200 smacks minus ofcourse time and effort

Sky is the limit with these lights. I was able to find the projectors on FB market for $80 with halos. I think I spent around $100 for RGBW demon eyes and controller. I etched the lenses myself. I use the power from the parking lights. So when I turn just parking lights on, the demon eyes come on. If ur handy with a Dremel then it's not to bad. The size of the projector is what will decide the amount of work. 2.5" projector with a slim shroud will be less trimming the a 3" projector with a big shroud. f75736d5ac1e321916c2a0d419bfc3f7.jpgba31556e285eae247aa46a1d8e1e839f.jpg

Its got an awesome look to it man almost kind of iron man feel to it. I priced it out with the halos and stuff came put over 300 feels steep and then i still have to put it together. I think ill have to pass but great work non the less.

Very nice work!! I have an extra pair of single headlights that I’m thinking I want to open up and play with in the next few months. Would you mind if I contacted you for some assistance/ideas?

Projectors are DOT approved. The led cubes are aux lights. Hooked up to high beams but never use them.

my point is they are not approved when you make them yourself. but again not knocking the craftsmanship or the time it takes to do this
