FRS Headlight Retrofit

I decided that i wanted proper projectors so i don't blind oncoming traffic and to achieve a better cutoff. A friend recommended that i send my headlights to HID ILLUSIONZ. Luckily for me, HID ILLUSIONZ had a group buy promotion for FXR's and Morimoto H1 6.0s. I chose the FXR's with 5k bulbs. Thought i would share a couple of pictures of how they turned out.

FRS Headlight Retrofit

Epic. Super sick. Great cut offs. I wish they were the same. Looks like you have a lot more color in the drivers side.

Begs the question, "YUNOWASHERMOD?"

Awesome! How did you cover the high beams? Any pics with the headlight cover off? How did you fix the rotation? Did you mount it to the original brackets?

I also wonder why your driver side hotspot is way off to the left.

@Acree I'm not too sure what the washer mod is and yeah the driver side does have more color, not to sure why.

@retrosmiths High beams still there, just now have stock high beams and high beams from the fxr's. You would have to ask Rich about how he manage to mount them and everything.

Here's a great video explaining what the washer mod is what the results are. The uneven coloring between projects is because one projector has the bulb slightly closer to the lens than the other. It could be due to imperfections in the housing, improper seating of the bulb, debris, or any number of other reasons.
