Project Daily/Trail XJ

Got the headlights all finished up but have a small issue with the driver side. I got some moisture in it but other than that they're awesome. I think when I was blowing out the dust before sealing them, my compressor might have sprayed out some water. But here's some more photos of the process.

Used a cut off wheel to get most of the shroud cut, then clamped my belt sander in a work table and used that to get the finished product.

Here's a front shot with the shrouds fitted to the projectors.

Had to seal most of the gaps with some aluminum tape this way the jb weld didn't leak through to the inside of the projector bowl.

Here's a rough cut of the headlight bowl to fit the projector. I also had to cut the fire wall a bit to get the rear of the projector to clear. I didn't have anything but my 1 1/8" hole saw so had to just cut a bunch of small holes and grind them smooth with my die grinder.

HID ballasts tucked up nice the slim ones are so nice to work with.

And here's the finished product with some output photos as well down a trail.

The cut off is insane on these things! I'm very happy with the result.

I also had to remove the delay relay behind the dash in order for the HIDs to function properly without freaking out after turning my key off.

If anyone has any questions on anything, feel free to ask.

Forgot to take a picture, but I used Morimoto 100mm RGB angel eyes behind the shrouds and demon eyes as well, and the quality is awesome. I really liked how it all fit together.

Not much exciting going on yet. Took my sagging headliner out and scraped the foam off then painted the board all black.

Installed my light bar. And clear corners and am waiting on my amber led turn signals to come in.

And am selling my headlights to go a different route. If interested look in the FS thread.

The LOWCOG setups seem pretty sick, so that is the way I'm leaning. Anyone for or against that?
