Default headlight mod

A few days ago, I mentionee thatbi got a few of the final things to do a mystery mod to eleanor.

I got some projector sealed beams from a lexus es300 sitting in a junkyard




I pulled the sealed beams out


Took them apart, don't have an image of that yet.
And took the lense off the aftermarket headlights for eleanor



And took out the diffusers, and sanded/ filed down the back so the projector would fit in...

Will post more pics tonight.
Whacha think so far?

Very cool. Do you plan on keeping the projectors together or splitting them up?

I had to split them because they wouldn't fit right without splitting them.

Here's what I have thus far.
I'm going to go aim the low beams tonight to make sure they are aligned correctly.




As it stands, I can move the projector housing around inside the headlight housing.
