Man, that looks incredible. I am going to have to copy. I love that sharp defined light that the projector with cut-off provides! Our factory lights blow.

its impossible for me to do this kind of business because i live in a foreign country and the shipping will be more expensive than the item itself , thats why i left you guys all the links of the items that you need and the procedure of how to make them, if you need more explanatory ill do it for you , just let me know , but im telling you, the whole modification wont take you more than half hour for each headlamp , youll have to wait more waiting for the silicon to dry and in that mean time you will be making the other one , its pretty simple!!

Is it really required to have those same headlights as a base for these? Or could I just use the ones i have in my jeep now or any old set?

You'd most likely have to use a housing with a plastic or metal backing. Your factory sealed beam aswell as many conversion housings are glass, which would be difficult to drill without breaking.

the backing on mine is metal, but the front is glass. Just trying to drop the price enough to justify me buying them lol

i tried to do it with standard headlights and it was getting more complicated as those you have to cut the rear end to make the projector fit in, and you wont have were to hold the bulb, that is why the people use ds1 bulbs cause those dont need any base to hold them h4 hids do need that base and the clip...
