I didn't understand your question. Did you mean to ask how I was able to retrofit them and what products were used?

Oh. I took apart the headlight lens cover, cut a hole in the low beam reflector housing. I then retrofitted FX-R Bi-Xenon projectors in there. Afterwards, I fitted two different sized xBA LED angel eyes and the xB.Strip from Morimoto to the eyebrow.

Finally put everything back together and bingo bango. Custom projectors.

Thank you! After spending 6 days on headlight one, it took two 2 days to finish the second and mount back onto the car.

It was worth every second of my time!

Yes, I even had a build thread to make it much easier and less time consuming if anyone ever wanted to do the same.
