i want to know how and what supplies ya used! if you feel inclined to share
Things i already had:
Cedia lights
6500K Hid kit
Dremmel
things i bought:
Projectors from a user on Hidplanet.com
Large PVC Piping that i trimed to my liking
(6) 3" long 3/8" bolts/screws
3/8" nuts to go a long with the bolts/screws
black flat hi-temp engine enamel
liquid nails
i have been prepping for about a month(when i got the projectors)
last thusday:
i cut the pvc ans sanded it to my liking
friday night:
i painted the PVC so that it was ready to install
saturday: opened the lights and guessed from there(which was pretty dumb, cus i didnt have a spare set of lights and i would have been screwed, if i f*%$ up)
the hardest part to me was adjusting the lights, my word of advice, test fit and make sure the light beam is where you want it to be before you reseal the lights, because you cant always adjust it after the lights are sealed...

well, if done properly, you should be able to use the stock adjustments to sdjust your lights. I know it looks really hard with your space limitations, but I am using an extra pair of stock housings, using a 3-4 ABS adapter and adapter it too the stock reflector so I can just adjust it when I am done. It is taking a bit more time because I have to measure for clearences and what not plus I have a bit more room then you do in your housing. just about done with my first light though and I will post some pictures once I get them up in my thread. good job though really like the cedias, just spending too much money as it is and didn't want to burn more on just head lights haha. I am making two sets at the moment for a friend of mine aswell, so I might be doing retros in stock housings for others. but it will be costly after parts and labor. the I can assure everyone that the 350 for materials and labor that hidretro.com offers is a reasonable price now that I know what is involved.

^yes i agree, but space is really, i mean really limited with the cedia lights, i pretty much cut the whole reflector out and used the PVC to clear the projector, thinking about it now, it can be done differently, where i can adjust the height and what not from the sotck housing, matbe ill get another pair of cedia and do it all over again...
