I recently did an FX-R retrofit. Although I'm absolutely satisfied and loving the output and performance overall, I'm not exactly thrilled with the look of the headlight assembly itself.
When looking at the headlight you can see the hardware and projector through the lens. I even painted all the hardware silver in an attempt to hide it all, but it wasn't much help.
Next, I ordered some E46 shrouds and rings to mod and slip over the projector in an attempt to hide it a bit. I was hoping it would be large enough to hide most of the projector and bracket but it really didn't do much. I had to trim it down so much to get it to fit that in the end I ended up reducing its outer diameter and overall "hideability".
Essentially what I ended up with was a partial E46 shroud with the projector and hardware still exposed along the outer edges.
Has anyone made their own shrouds or used others to hide this a little better?
I know I won't ever get it to look stock, but the closer I can get to looking stock the better/cleaner I think it would be. Other thoughts include smoking out the low beam but I'm not sure I'd like the bug-eye look.
Thanks in advance!
How hot do the 'inset' projectors get?
