Poor Man's Retrofit (Picture Heavy)
#21
Just finished my retrofit with the same exact projectors. I just used a different shroud. I also did a dummy projector around the blinker. Plan on getting different switchbacks bulbs these don't look to well.
I have color changing rings behind the big shroud and around the blinker. Unfortunately the led ring around the blinker isn't working.

Plus a couple others
Here's some output shots not the best. My truck is parked behind a chain link fence.
Low beams
Forget to get a pic of high beams.

Well, this project has just about came to a standstill for a couple days. The paint isn't sticking correctly, I'm assuming due to humidity. I even went to an enclosed shop that had fans and such running with the same issue. I borrowed a dremel so I can at least get the projectors mounted. But as far as painting goes im stuck until I get some better weather.

Same thing here, same projectors and I have dummy projectors with switchbacks going behind them. Gonna paint the chrome part black now that I'm retrofitting. CHUMCHAL, how big was the shroud you used? How did you get it past the screw holes for the original shroud?

I used the panamera shroud from the retrofit source. They should have all the dimensions on their website. As for mounting the shroud to the project I just used a strong 2 part epoxy on the inside of the shroud. Hope that answers your question.
