Yeah, so im getting bored...i cant finish my hood as far as fiberglassing so im going to try something different.

HID retrofit into my stock GC headlights. Not really mine, i bought an extra pair, They are expensive too! Anyways, this will take some time, i just orderd my stuff yesterday so ill be briefing you thouroughly. So as of now i have nothing as far as parts.
what i bought:
2006 Audi S4 HID BiXenon projectors complete
Philips Bulbs
OEM Ballasts and wiring harness
I currently have a fake HIDS which some of you have commented on, they are really blue really bright Although not many people flash at me, i can tell it pisses some people off. PM me if you want details, they will be for sale shortly if this goes well.
The Plan:
first take out the glass lenses off the GC stock headlights, take some measurements and cut the back plastic mounts for the stock H4 bulbs, this way the Big HID projector can fit in perfectly. Nexti want to use the reflector shield as a mold and cut out a piece of balsa wood, steam it up and bend it to the shape of the shield. Then make a frame similar to what you see on a stock S4, see pic.

Since these are dual beam projectors i shoudlnt have to do this, but i think it will look much better with a reflector housing on the side of the projector used for High beam, and the HID for low beam. I need to get a small reflective housing, ill probably end up using my stock shield and just cut that down, but its going to be roughly 3"x6" then the HID projector on the side.
After i get that kinda squared away, i want to make an entire frame of blasa wood including where the projector mounts and where the reflecter shield rests on. the balsa wood will only be a mold, im going to place fiberglass ontop of it and make it look really Cool. This being a small project i dont have to worry about using fiberglass, but on my hood if its 40 degrees outside this will take a year to dry. im gonna use a router to make circles that fit around the projector lens, this is going to be ground down to make a slight curve to line perfectly with the projector.
Oh and im trying to get Drivng fog lights with Halos, 3" diameter if anyone has them.

Got the Hids in, Tested them, work Great! Cutoff line is insanely Straight http://images.nasioc.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif and they are bright as hell. Also took pics so you can see the actual size, Comparing to an 360 game box. No pics of it lite up though.
