after elbow grease, water/cleaner, pulled out reflector and paint, this is what I ended up with...

EDM adjustable projector headlights

One side done.

props to jingjing for the idea and the rest of you who inspired me to do the retrofit.

This was my best upgrade to any B13 I have ever owned. Never thought some one could appreciate something small. Lol

Now you are the 2nd person in California with projectors...behind me of course. Haha good work man. Lemme know next time you head out tk tinker on the car!

It's all gravy brotha! I can't wait o hook these bad boys up. I'm sure the output would be 10x's better. Curious on how the EDM adjustment motors will take the extra weight.

I moved the egg to the Bay Area so I can get my lazy ass to work! You'll be the first I call for a meet!

Finally picked it back up from a friends driveway, took out interior and dash again to remove sound deadening and prep some more for paint and body work. More motived now to finish it and enjoy it, although my 240 is being neglected...Also test fitted some Enkei NT03 with Toyo R888 tires 2345/40/17 up front and I can still go wider to like a 255 I think.

I decided I will part it out...

It's been sitting on my driveway for about 2 years now, haven't driven it for any substantial distance, and have to pump in too much cash tot even have it pass inspections...

Expect a for sale topic soon, including some rare swag.
