Quad projector mod
Finished passenger side, drivers side is finished on the bench install will be completed hopefully tomorrow. Used the OEM shell but installed a clear acrylic lens. Lens not shown bc I'm restoring the acrylic. Had to mod the acutor arms for proper alignment. Moved the high beam projector as far outboard as possible for clearance of actuator arm as much as possible. I didn't use the OEM lens cover but it could be used with some modifications. Right now I have the operation of lights... two on dim four on bright, but I'm thinking now,,, four dim and four bright. I'll see how the other works first. Can't wait to night test it and I'll will post completed pics with lights on in dark. When finished I'm going to try the lazy eye mod I purchased. Really happy with how it turned out but not without do it over again and again and then repeat. It only works one way. Lol. Not much room in there as you know.

Got them online retro fit source hid. I used the oem stock shell and then modified them. I found some old ACAS used the clear lens it fit perfectly. I'm currrently looking to find the producer of these lens. Are you interested in doing this I can help you. I'm currently also working on adding the mod of "lazy eye" where the pop up only opens about 60%. It looks really cool.

Yes they are about 5.5" long. Used them and another brand locally. Making a pair for guy now. I'm working on the lazy eye mod to my quad projector project now. Couple weeks should have the
Prototype done. I don't want to break up and tear apart what I have on my Vette now. The inner parts has to be changed for the lazy eye look. Nice about the mod is I use the exsisting stock headlight and lens cover. Modify both. Mike Basset makes the lazy eye brackets and I modified the light housing.

Lots of great info on your posts hotrod03! Will be getting either the ACAs or the Radioflyer in the spring and will install with your suggested mods to not have to deal with the slop in the first place. Did you get the lazy eye mod done? Would love to see pics and details on what you did.
