Message: [QUOTE="jordan572, post: 1061811, member: 10582"] Headlamp time, finally got these things all buttoned up. What a project, these things fought me the entire way through. I was nervous about taking this task on myself as almost always people pay a professional to do their headlamps. I worry about the paint quality and just the overall work of many of these companies. There is no money in doing them the way I did I doubt. In previous post I've showed a little bit of the headlamp building. Anyway pretty much cooked em, ripped them open and broke them down. I fit the bottom d2s 3.0 projector into the bottom bowl. I then reassembled the headlamps and installed them into a relatives truck. I aimed them to make sure the step in the cutoff was correct, the horizontal aim was level and the vertical aim was similar between the two lamps. I ended up pulling one back apart and sanding/fitting the projector again so when the headlamp adjusters are adjusted at the same amount both the headlamps vertical aim is the same or very close. This was a little excessive but I think it is the best way. Sure the adjusters can get the vertical aim correct between the two lamps but one bucket might be tilted toward the sky while the other at the ground. That stuff bothers me, enough to spend 3-4 more hours messing around with the aim, :fustrate:. Everything was fitted so it was time to paint the parts, black lower bucket, black upper flasher bucket and a black reflector. The rest went ruby red including the rigid d2s and the apollo 2.0 shrouds.

The little things, [ATTACH=full]141202[/ATTACH] First part was to wire up the Rigids to have an integrated flasher, I used some amber/red leds bulk strip from oracle. Test fit them, cut the spool, solder and shrink wrapped the wires. I used an existing hole on the rigid housing to wire in the led strip. I had to drill out the hole to run my wiring through but it looked mint all said and done.
