Huh, so just so im clear. You have turned your turn signals into full on head lights?

If so I give props. The title might be off but the work and creativity is out of the box. Its nice to see someone else doing something different

You got it. The title's off just because of the way the project evolved, but like I said a few posts back, that project is still in the works. I agree though - while they may not be all that well-done, or in any way related to what I said I was going to do, I think they're neat simply because nobody has ever done it before, afaik.

I want to take the inlets below them and make foglights for those since I lost my foglight buckets when I put on the front mount intercooler.

I'll get those up ASAP. It was dark by the time I finished, so no pics yet.

That would be possible, but a lot more difficult since there's no mounting holes in those inlets. You'd have to do the same thing I'm going to end up doing, which is finding someplace solid and fabbing a bracket.

Pic of the installed setup. Not the best quality, but between that and the decent pics of the lights themselves, I think you can get the idea.

Yeah yeah... nobody more than me. Like I said though, still working on the original idea, but I'm in the middle of building the engine right now, so... yeah, could be a bit.

Did you ever finish this project? Curious as what you used to align the projectors as well as what you used to protect the projector lenses.

The project is still on the back burner. I've stumbled across a few helpful threads, particularly this one over at HIDPlanet. I'm currently in the process of rewiring the entire car, relocating all the fuse/relay components and PCM to a single location under the dash, but I'm integrating a relay harness for the headlights in there, so it's not completely being neglected haha.
