UPDATE: Some people were having problems viewing the pictures. I think hosting them on my generic Google Sites page did not work out to good. So, I've uploaded the pictures to Flickr, link to album below. Individual pictures are still not cooperating, so you'll have to click through to flickr.
original text:I just finished my HID retrofit and here are the pics! This took me a while because I went with a larger projector + I decided I did not like the flat glass look and wanted to keep the rounded clear cover. So I had a 4 1/4in piece of glass cut that I attached to the center of the old lens that I cut out.
Long story short, lots of Dremeling, lots and lots of sanding, painting and cutting and here are the final product pics. Also, don't skimp on good outdoor all weather silicone! I may have a custom black aluminum ring cut to go where the black plastic ring currently is. I need to have something there to cover the seam of the glass joining the plastic and I'm not a fan of the plastic I used:

Holy bajesus that looks amazing. That is exactly what I had in mind, either that, or some sort of shroud inside the bucket so you cant see the mounting bolts...
Of course I will be retrofitting not only a projector, but also an entire headlight as I have a new gen monster...
This project is down on the list though, perhaps next winter.
