I know many will hate these but I took my retrofit projectors out and got the aftermarket projector with plasma tube/optic DRL. Here's pics:

I kinda like them and you push the mod envelope. They fit with the squareness and angular lines of the NNBS front end.

Wonder how hard it would be to retro-fit those? I know TRS has those square projectors... I think I aaw a set on clearance. They could be badass with the proper 5k bulbs to match the strips. Otherwise, I think the overall look of them are great!

About as hard as any retrofit from an eagle eye set I suppose. That would be sick to retrofit some good square projectors in there instead of replacing the shroud and projector with a round one. But thanks I like the overall look too!

Retrofit had the hid kit so not as good as this is still an incandescent bulb. Once I get a nice hid kit in there and get the tilt and height adjustment tweaked I'll post some comparison pics.

I'd have stuck with the retro'd ones for sure...not feeling these Felix...they look like they have mini shop lights bent inside....but whatever you like is all that matters.

As Lee meticulously picked out there was condensation build up in one. After removing the headlights I noticed this faded green color that formed in the area of the drl. The headlight that has the condensation on the backside of it also has a hairline crack (on the other side of it) allowing water to get in (on the black plastic side). I can easily seal it up with some high temp silicone so no biggie.

I stuck my finger inside there and could wipe some of it off. I basically have to heat up the headlights remove the front cover clean up that drl spot with a spray cleaner as the chrome still looks good underneath it. Plus a low beam light went out. Haven't tested if it's bulb or hid ballast. Soooo yea not really in selling condition. Debating on fixing it up and selling it or just selling as is. PM offers if anyone wants to tackle this retro fix me up lol.

I can't figure out how to PM anyone. Can you PM me? I wouldn't know where to begin with an offer, but at least we wouldn't have to deal with shipping! I'm right down I-10 from you.
