blobeye projector headlight retrofit
been toying with this idea for a while. so using my practise set of headlights, first used to try out the detango, away i went.
first step ebay, couldnt find exactly what i wanted so i plumped for a bmw z4 headlight unit (£31.00) this arrived % was promptly dismantled to remove the projector lens & housing.
then back to baking my sti headlight, splitting the unit, then fitting the projector. i basically followed a guide from nasioc to do this, the following pictures show the results.

not 100% happy with the results, the projector housing requires a shroud to blank off the cut outs in the housing, & i need to position the housing a bit further back in the original housing to allow for full adjustment, apart from that not bad for a first time. i might even try to trial fit this into the car to get the full effect.
any comments or tips welcome.
