UCF10 headlight retro complete

After months of research/gathering parts and having the headlights for about a year or so, I finally found someone local who was willing to give this retrofit project a shot. Projectors are AFS RX330 with clear BMW E30 lens and custom shield. Shrouds are BMW E36 replicas. The retro came out very clean, as you can see in the pics. If anyone wants the retrofitter's contact info, just shoot me a PM. He's usually around the 626/310 areas in case anyone was wondering.

man that's real clean. i stopped liking retros a while back just because they rarely look like something that came factory (even the couple i did) but these come pretty close.

nice job of updating the front end all around.

Holy moly.
This is so well integrated.

I remember a little while back I think someone else on CL had them done too, but it looked really tacky.
I think your grill makes it look even better.

Yup, they look real clean and that cut off is crisp, no bleed what so ever. He does clean work. I know when I got my projectors on it took 10 years off my car - easily. Congrats.

Thanks. Fogs will be left as is for now. Can't say much about the beam pattern for the low beams, but the performance of the fogs on the Eagle Eyes are better than OEM.

He sure did. I can finally understand what the fuss is all about when it comes to retrofitting. Way better vision of the road + less glare to oncoming drivers = win.

Eagle Eye headlights (bought when they were first released for about $275, modified projectors $130, retrofit $200).
