So to skip all this, the pantera now has retrofitted Low Beam OEM HID Projectors pulled from a Honda S2000 headlight housing, and Hella's aftermarket H9 65watt halogen high beam reflector unit.
Plus some grinding of the orginal headlight housing, relocating the switch headlight limiting switch for low profile opening, as well as headlight relays so everyone runs at full power and smooth.
I got the S2000 headlamps for a great deal with someone who changed their headlamps to the JDM ones, so they were sitting in his garage so I took it for $225, the high beam unit with blub was about $100, then the HID Blubs and Ballast was about $250, wiring harness $40 plus about a whole bunch of other things I needed in the process so i would say about 700-800 dollars? I'm sure if i did it again I can do it for less then what I spent this time.
Last but not least i'm still working on a carbon fiber cover for it as i'm still working on the mold for it at the moment. Below are pictures on the Before and After of the project.
It took me about 6 months on and off due to school, I almost had it completed in a month for my Senior Prom but school got in the way, I still drove it to my senior prom though!
Comments are more then welcomed!
