keep in mind that this takes up a lot of space, i've been informed that it wouldn't work with a supercharger and i had to ghetto-relocate my battery like an inch

Hella gen 3 ballasts and I think Osram bulbs (4300K)

probably something like $800 :\

$500+shipping or so for TLs + ballasts + bulbs
$100+shipping for clear CE housings
~$100 for wire, loom, quick disconnectors, relays, alum tape, silicone sealant etc

what exact did you seal that off with? it looks like ductape..

i'm looking for ways for me to seal my fog light projectors and i haven't gotten the right set of ductape with JB weld mixture. Just trying to get ideas. if you had anymore pictures of the sealing of the projector it would be nice.

is the bulb expoused like that just with the bulb holder?

That's definately different, most people usually hack the light to get the tl in there. How do you have it secured to the reflector?

I made kind of a collar with aluminum tape. The aiming screws are secured on the aiming bracket, so I needed some play in the seal between the projector and the reflector housing, but it's pretty damn sturdy and would hold itself for awhile even without the screws.
