I got the corner reflectors all done... The F-150 I made a little darker than I wanted but I think it turned out Ok.
This will be what the final product should look like.
Now I need my ballasts to show up so I can wrap this project up! My SS ballasts I sent back got stuck in that traffic jam in Atlanta so that's why it has been taking longer than normal.
Almost done!!!!

My Oracle halos came in today so I got them installed. My new ballasts should be here tomorrow according to the tracking number. So hopefully Saturday I can knock most of this out and wrap this project up. I'll post pics when I get these finished and some night shots too.

But if you are just doing the H1 retrofit and are sure you won't over bake your lights then there is little to no chance of messing up

Just curious what are you guys preference for projectors for the fog lights? My passenger side one got broken off yesterday due to a piece of ice so I'm going to have to buy one and I might just buy a set and try to retrofit the driver side one I have. If I'm successful with it I'll do both if not then oh well I'm out 70 bucks lol
I been looking at the mini h1 but it looks too big for the fog light imho and the only other one is the matchbox one but I'd how good those are.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I always suggest you have a spare set of lights to do it on. If for whatever reason something happens during the install then you aren't up the creak...

i already opened them up like a year ago when i painted my bezel so i just need to remove the silicone and there open without baking. but since i read that Joel was having alot of trouble with the mini h1 i dont want to be the same way, and alot of you all have been having trouble on bulbs/ballasts/relays and stuff
Define 'a lot of you' .... as, many, many more have not had any issues whatsoever. This is presuming a quality retrofit kit is being used, however.
good luck
