I am sadly missing 1 center cap, but other then that, they're pretty nice. I haven't decided on color yet. I'm gonna play with photoshop a little bit probably. Grey or Bronze probably. I think I'm gonna keep my 5 stars for now and put on some tires to daily drive on. If I keep driving like I am now I'm gonna have to buy new tires by the end of Summer 2015. Meaning a set of tires only lasted me 2 years. Haha

Can't wait to see the pics on the projectors. I hope you find my thread to be of some help. Doing the Halos right is a bit tricky. I ended up gluing them to the Apollo shroud after it was painted but I didn't glue the actual shroud to the the actual projector. I'd recommend using 3M mounting tape pieces or something else to attach the shroud to the projector itself so you can remove and readjust in the future.

Anyone know of where I can find some headlights with clear GLASS lenses? [MENTION=53337]SCRunner12[/MENTION]

Haha, I like how I'm your parts sourcer now? Just so happens I may know where to get some OEM 99+ headlights local to me, but I'm not sure if they are still available. I will be checking tomorrow most likely. Otherwise TYC from ebay, rockauto or amazon will work just fine for the retrofit.
What are you looking to spend?

I actually think Brian said the light is sharper using the TYC lenses vs. OEM, but I could be wrong. Wrong like I thought ND was going to beat the Sun Devils.

You're everyone's part sourcer. You own the internet. :llama:
I'll spend up to $150 depending on condition.
Looks like eBay has what I need. I'll order those now. Thanks guys!
Wrong as in you would think ASU could beat an unranked football team.

If you have any Qs feel free to shoot me an email.
I would highly**** recommend you modify the breather tube like I did on my retrofit thread - one of the final steps. This is too prevent dust. Nothing is more lame than a sweet retrofit filled with dust after 6 months.
Also I would suggest, if you haven't already considered it, that you may really benefit by having a clean workspace such as a garage where you can test the headlight cutoff from a workbench multiple times, perhaps multiple days without much of a rush. I took several days and test fittings to get mine completed.

Haha, no arguments here. This is going to be one sweet retrofit. I still want to do another, but I'm happy right now with mine.

I'll have the benefit of doing this at my house. I also now have 2 sets of headlights, so there will be no rush. I will be closely following your thread and plan on doing this right the first time.
Right now I'm considering ordering Halos as the kit I bought doesn't have any.
What do you guys think? Should the shrouds be color matched to Evergreen Pearl or should they be black?

Personally I'm not a fan of halos, but to each their own. I like the sleeper look of projectors without the halo. What color are you painting the bowls. With a stock silver bowl I would keep them silver, but if you're going with black or a dark color then Evergreen Pearl would be pretty sweet.

Black should work well. The green, maybe a little too much.
Corvallis is not an easy place to play.With WSU coming to town, it should be an easy W since Connor Halliday is gone for the season. I have partied at coach Mike Leach's house in Key West before, but left before it got real wild.

Cool!
Be sure to check out the links I posted at the top of the thread on how others did it, the TRS guide pdf, etc.
I didn't include every step in my thread since it isn't meant to fully replace those other guides , just help with a lot of context and more pictures.
Good luck!

I'm thinking of going black bowls, but haven't decided yet, I'm gonna look at some photos before I decide

To each their own. I think graphite or charcoal gloss is a good compromise.

If I wanted to be really different I could paint it the bronze color of my wheels.
