This is a very interesting project. I have a black/red theme going on my ride and interested to see the final pics of this project. Looks like a lot of fun, I really need to find me an extra pair of LCI headlights that I can chop up.

It'll shine white. I'll shine a flash light through it and take a pic tonight.

Using my HTC phone flashlight shining from back of the projector.

No pink or pink eye.

Just so you guys know. I'm not painting the actual lens. I'm painting the housing behind it.

Not yet. Still working on it. Taking my time as I already got blacked out Orion pre-LCI headlights. Still waiting on Orion V2's to get here. Still have to get new LCM and other parts needed for the LCI headlight conversion.

Update:

Prepped.

Update.

Waiting on the Orion to arrive.

* The inner housing will be closer to black with a hint of red. Since there is an opening for light to past through, it makes it more red.
