man that sucks.. and yea i know what u mean, those white plastic craps are cheap! anywayz.. i was tryin to think of a way to mount them so that i could adjust the projectors.. but then its gotta be a really sturdy, or else when i make a sharp turn or hit a bump, the projectors would fall or something. and actually, i have some cool frames to use.. where the projectors mount right in, but you would have to move the frame piece to adjust the light. complicated.... so i duno what to do. i'll post some pix of it, so any ideas would really be great! :p and btw i doubt i'll use the stock adjusters lol

ok heres what i have to play with:
* a frame with 2 projector holes
<img src="http://www.geocities.com/samzcoolcarz/DVC01155.JPG" alt=" - " />

i know that the frame wont nearly fit inside the headlight housing, so my idea is.. cut it in half and mount the block/hole/things somehow to hold the projectors.. 1 half in each housing.

another view of the holes. so any ideas on how to make these adjustable? maaaybe---- use the 3 screw holes u can see in the panels? lol i duno but thanx guyz.. and if the damn geocities posts dont work, i can try and upload a dif. way. aite thanx again

Here kitty kitty kitty!!!!

LOL ya my cat is soooo lazy!! she laid there all day barely even getting up while i played w/ the headlights. lol and well i have some pix of the mounting thing inside the housing, but i'll take more when i get it all workin out right. o btw i see now what u mean about the freakin lines on the lense. they totally distort the beam... so i gotta sand it down hehe. but wont sand paper make scratches? anywayz thanx for da help and kitty comments lol! i'll haveta take a pix of the projector turned on too. aite peace!

Your lenses look pretty clear from the pictures

ya.. well they're clear (not yellow) but they're a lil scratched up. :p ohhhh u meant clear with no lines! lol well i'll do a test later on just how much the lense distorts the beam. AND i got a question for anybody! -- there is SO much room in that housing dudes.. what should i put in there? lol i still need a hi beam of course.. but a turn signal maybe? thanx

2. Sand your existing cover from the inside. Very labour intensive, but possible. You also can just sand a little square or a circle where the beam gonna go through. But you need to get projectors first, mount them inside and then see where you need to sand.[/QB][/QUOTE]
is it possible to get plastic lens pieces molded into the current lenses, ie hyundai tiburon style?

i'm talking the bubbles coming out

Interesting idea. If you got a spare lenses for both Mx-3 and Tiburon, try it. Polycarbonate is hard to cut. I know dremel with fiberglass wheel will not work. May be diamond carbide cut off wheel will do the trick or a really good jigsaw and a steady hand. I would buy a 0.25" sheet of polycarbonate at Industrial Plastics and practice for a bit, just to get it right and see what works.

Or may be just try the retro a whole lens onto our housing, but have not found a perfect shape and more importantly curve to a donor lens yet.

nice job sam!
