Nice job, gives an interesting look that (if real) would get people to do a second look.

the only one that really works for me is the one with black housing... of course my CE is black.

I would like to get some euros some day.... more for the enhanced lighting aspect.... even with sylvania superstars...the light output is not very strong.

Well the black may appear better because the color hides my horrendous photoshoppery. If I had a black car there wouldn’t be a question. But the sucker is green! Talk about an impossible color to work with .

What if I color-matched the housing to the green?

I suppose if I did opt for these dual look head lamps, I should go with the black so that I can paint it any color to suit. If I went with chrome, painting over that could be a problem.

No doubt the optics are junk. They would be used as donor bodies for bixenon projectors.

I ran ecode lights (as seen here), with 90/130's no less....hehehe. Definitely an improvement, but not good enough; gotta have that HID .



The main goal of the exercise was to determine if the dual-lamp style looked good on W124's. I don’t think its toooo bad.
