Awesome effort mate! How'd you go with trimming it to suit the E-series housing? Jason's BA ones weren't a perfect fit...

I guess I won't ask what type of donor headlight was used coz I spose it's your little secret :

Once again, well done!

I used BA ones as I wanted to stay using Ford parts.

I reckon I can say that I think yours actually look better then mine with both headlight and High beam being a full ring and not part cut off, would really love to know what you used (PM me if you want to keep it a secret, I wont tell just really keen to find out what you used).

Also paint whole inside of the headlight black, including the inside edges of the glass makes the headlights look better again.
Next crack open a set of clear blinkers and paint them black inside to match as well.

that is awesome!!!!!!!!!

I think they look better than the ED XR setup!

Perhaps some of those angel eyes for when you parkers are on could be the finishing touch?

I'm guessing 3-series, 5-series, Verada, Express (you never know), or some generic individual H4 projectors which have had a bracket made up.

I reckon some new Honda lights or Mazda6 lights (well, the projectors & modified backing) might work in EF-EL lights.

you cant use projectors in EF headlights, as the EF/EL lights have the light dispersion patern on the lens........ you must have a clear / smooth lens for a projector to work properly....

Great effort there mate! Top job.

Wayne, the dispersion pattern thing affects all E series except NA (etc) and ED-onwards XR doesn't it?

yes, which is why you cant put a projector behind the lens....
you have to have just a regular reflector......ortherwise the light will be all over the place.....
