Default Halo housings and HID's Installed

Got some new Black Halo Headlight housings for my car and a HID conversion (8000k) from ledguages.com. The black housing make the car look sinister. These lights are AWESOME!!!!! They light up the road so much more than my stock lights did. They also have an Orange LED for the Halo but I am not done wiring those up yet so I will have to post more pics when I get those working. I did test the Halo's and they look SWEET!!! Enjoy.

sorry, its the cutoff pattern of the lights.

it looks like the projector was put in a regular housing and would have the reflectors to bounce off of creating a light pattern that would blind oncoming traffic.

No cutoff that I know of. Stock Halo housings carefully aimed. I was careful to mark the stock locations on the garage door and kept the new housings aimed to the same location. I also did a test drive by my buddies house and he said there was no glare.

Here's the housings and you can also see where I mounted the Ballasts.
I got a package deal from Nathan (LS1_SS) at ledguages.com. Check out his website for pricing. You can PM him to ask about a deal. I went through Nathan because I had him change the LED in the Halo to Orange. If you want regular Halos, I have seen them on ebay.

Thanks Nathan. Quick question for you. If you look at the housing pictures in my previous post and focus on the plug from the stock headlights into the ballast, there is a littls plastic clip missing on the pass side. When I installed that one it pushed those white inserts up a bit and I realized that the plastic cover was missing. Is it possible to get one of those and just snap it on or do I need a whole new jumper wire? I want to make sure it stays together and does not pop out when I am driving. Thanks again. I can't wait to get the Halo's wired up! More pics will follow as soon as I get those working. Initially they will be spliced in to my DRL, but ultimately they will be connected via another fog light switch on the dash so I can turn them on and off when I want.

if you look above that is what i asked and he tested for glare, apparently having none.

if done right he wont have glare and since there are no projector housings for camaros this is the next best option.

props for a nice set up!
