Default NCSU's HID Retrofit Headlights...

A little while ago I ordered a set of retrofit HIDs from www.sickhids.com after seeing another member post about the lights he got.

I sent out my old chrome stock headlights to save a few bucks. Needless to say, I wanted them blacked out. Here they are sandblasted and being prepped for paint:


and painted:


I also wanted the side reflector to be blacked out as well:

Reflector installed:


Now, some finished product shots. I just got these these last night, hopefully he'll have them shipped out today or tomorrow, so like I said, I'll have them installed in a week or so and will post more pics at that point.

Here's everything turned off:


Side shot:


Angel Eyes:


Devil Eyes (I plan on wiring them in with the amber parking lights / turn signals):


Installed...

That's awesome. I've always had the idea to use the projector (and the surround) from a 300C headlamp.

What projectors did he use? FX's?

I am going to do my retrofit into my new truck using the Harley lamps and LS460's over the winter.
