Official Retrofit Thread
I'm in the process of getting retrofit projectors made by Blown06ss. I really would like to see everyone's setup for retros.
In your post, include the following:
1) Projector type
2) Shroud type (if applicable)
3) Ballast type and HID temp.
Here's the place to display your pictures.

That works. If you're asking if I'm interested in them, I'm not. I'm in the process of having a set made for me. Thanks though.

^^ I like those. I recently worked on a Saturn Astra and I was looking at the lights and wondering how difficult it'd be to use them in a retrofit and if anyone had done it. It looks good man.

i like the astra ones i just wish the shroud wasnt soo big, i think if it was blacked out it would look pretty rediculous. none the less its a sexy light

1) Infiniti FX45 Bi-xenon projectors
2) Custom polished stainless steel shroud, with chrome trim
3) 35W D2S, with 4300k bulbs
Misc; 4500k halos mounted on shroud as DRL's.
Still uses the stock adjustment screws.
Edit: After getting quite a few PM's on this, I should mention that I built these 100% myself.... the fabbing, wiring, etc was all done in my own shop.
They were not bought, or ordered from anyone.
And as far as I know, they are the only polished (or unpainted) retrofit on CSS.

HID's on
Halo's only
