Im the dude that finished 97% of these headlights
weap0n did actually contribute the remaining 3%. The HLs were sent to him with the RHS left unsealed.
Why?
Coz the front lense was scratched pretty badly. After a little tutorial that I sent Davo, he was able to open up the RHS of his halogen HL and transplant it onto his new modified MR HLs. It looks like he did a great job
And yes, the 2nd projectors are purely cosmetic.
Why?
Coz there is no room to fit a WHOLE projector in the DRL housing. I could have installed the projector forward to give more room but then I would have needed to fabricate a whole new shroud from scratch. I wouldnt have been able to guarantee perfect symmetry. The shrouds that I did end up using were from S2K (AP2) headlights. These are pretty rare and did the job nicely.
Lighting:
If you ever decide to paint your HLs black then make sure you go to the trouble of upgrading your lighting as well.
Swap out the crappy OEM freshnel lens for a ZKW-R (R = replica) lens. It'll change your beam pattern from blurry yellow to sharp blue. Looks so much more sexier!!!
This is how to do it

Very nice looking! Had you looked into S2K or TSX projectors lenses? From what I've seen they provide crisper light output and a sharper cutoff.
Regardless, that looks a lot better than a stock X! Great work!

Ah, figured there was a reason. I know there is someone on here that retrofits projectors. He also uses an Infiniti FX projector, but cleans up the "fogginess" that lense has. I assumed the retrofit would also work here.

Had these for a few day's now. Performing perfect. Night driving viability has improved by so much, I feel like I'm driving a different car.
They have totally changed the look of the front end.
Thanks again mate.

Extracted from my thread:

If the projector is trimmed to bare minimum, it will fit. I have grown wiser since fitting these. If I could it again, id do it differently and smarter
In a sense I will coz I still have to do the LHS.
Ill send you a PM on EvoOZ
