No I didnt change the projector.

Thanks everyone for the compliments. I will grab some pics off my iPhone right now, pardon the crappy resolution. I am waiting for the weather to clear up so I can wash it and get some hi-res pics.

Looks great man. Good job. Not my taste as I feel like it's too much black, but at least it's done right and looks good. Like I mentioned before in a previous post, if you rip em apart another time, def do the projector lens..huge difference.

Looks incredible! Not sure if it is the lighting but they kind of have a tinted look because the black paint inside the lens does not reflect any light. I think you need to black out the chrome plastic on your bumper.

Its the light AND the fact im using an iphone camera. They dont look tinted in person because you can see the bulbs as clear as day, but in the pics you cant.

Yea I am going to vinyl wrap the chrome pieces on the front bumper in matte black, then the side marker chrome too and tint those lenses (on the fenders)
