    Brian, dont feed his paint huffing addiction. You give him that stencil and he's going to have STI stencilled on everything.

    I shall be embarking on my project sometime next week. Right now, I am tracking down a set of near mint e46 shrouds so obviously the date of completion is up in the air. I ended up buying Andy's old set of WRX lamps w/ a set of tsx projectors in them. He also threw in a donor lamp for me to play around with.

    Parts Required & Associated Expenditures
    • TSX Projectors
    • e46 Shrouds
    • Reuse stock matsushita ballasts
    • Modify stock d2r bulbs
    • Mucho beer

    I personally am not a huge fan of the angel eyes, but I may try it just for something different for you all to see.

    Ty ty. Alex is co-founder of lightwerkz forums. You will notice alot of similarities, which is an awesome thing. I love what you guys have going on here, its very special. Lots of active members, which proves quality > quantity. As alex progresses with his knowledge of lighting, mainly retrofits, I think he will have the ability to offer you locals something very nice once he gets through these first few. Ive been basically training him over phone and IM :)

    For all you lighting nuts, check out www.lightwerkz.net/forums, get registered, and get active!
