It was about time I upgraded the headlights on my 2K GT so I started some research on this forum and HIDplanet. I chose to go with theretrofitsource.com for the parts and I'm working with Hella E55 Projectors (3" BiXenon), E46-R shrouds and 4300K bulbs.
So far I have been able to mount the projector to the reflector successfully (or so I believe so far) and paint the housing and shrouds as I did not want to leave them chrome. I did a test run on the headlights in the housing to look for light leakage and other things. I found that when I have the front headlight cover on I tend to have two cutoffs. It also seems like the light is bouncing off the protruding horizontal line on the cover.
If I remember correctly, either "san~man" or "mijo-latino" did a similar project. Does anyone know if one or both of those lines need to be sanded out? Could it be just my initial projector mounting facing too low? Any ideas??
BTW, please do not mind the crooked shroud placement for now.
