Pounding it out

Pulled of the front clip so I could bend some metal for the fenders back in place, and paint the front cross-member so it would blend in behind the bumper.

Tried to make a sleeve for my passenger side tie-ins to go inside the inner frame (There is no internal bracing on that side) out of a 12mm deep well. It is the exact side, just a little long. I could not for the life of me drill a 7/16th through the socket. Stupid hardened steel.

Painted my grill and headlight surrounds, moved the turn signal bulbs from the top to mid lens and got creative with some masking tape and Krylon.

Curious, swapped for temp issues or just replacing? If for heat issues did you go with a lower rated temp stat?

During the madness that is NYC parking, today I managed to gift a massive dent in the hood (mid-hood i might add) of a Chrysler Town & Country compliments of my trailer hitch coupled with a 3" lift on 33's and a parking spot fit for a mini cooper. Felt awful and left a note with contact info. So far no phone call, but I hope to rectify my mistake. Jeeps+NYC=?

It might be cheaper idk, the reason why I chose to retrofit the projectors rather than go out and buy a premade projector housing was because the NorcalMR2 projectors are meant for halogen bulbs (which will produce a more narrow light output), an they are low beam only whereas my projectors are bi-xenon (they have hi beams).

I paid:
$20 for the housings
$110 for the projectors
$30 for the shrouds
$5 for the angel eyes
$50 for the ballasts
$30 for the bulbs
$35 for all the supplies needed
$15 for the D2S adapters

so almost $300, maybe more with shipping taken into consideration. Its the same price if not more than the Norcal projector headlights but with my setup, you have a high beam so I think it's worth every penny.
