Maybe it's the universe giving you a hint about halos.
Hahaha....maybe so...
If I could find some fogs like this without the halos I'd happily buy them. I'm just trying to find a pair that has a clear and smooth lens. Most of them have the little vertical refracting lines in the center, which I don't want with projectors.

Found the same lights for less from a seller who charges a reasonable price for AK shipping, so it all worked out in the end.
Soo...
Where does everyone get their HID bulbs from? I'm running DDM's, but one of my fogs failed pretty fast. Headlights are turning blue faster than they should, so I don't think DDM bulb quality is as good as some and I'm looking for other sources for H11 bulbs. I'd really like to get some foul-weather, high-quality 3000k fogs.

I under-estimated these lights. Holy crap. They are not easy to get apart. I thought I'd bust one open and take a look at removing the upper shield and seeing what I need to do to paint the other one. They are EXTREMELY well siliconed together. Good grief. It's a good thing I don't care what they look on the backside, cause I've scraped the hell out of them trying to pry them open and cut the seal. Gave up on doing it cold. One is now being baked.

Dont skip it! Youll wish you would have sione it! I vote painting them black, blue, or red
It looks great..
Anyways you got any pics of the projectors?
Sent from my Samsung Fascinate Via Verizon 3G.
They come painted black already, so that option would be easy....lol. There really may be no way to paint them. I can't get them out and can't figure out how to get the lens off to access the front of the shield. I'd have to sand the black off to change colors, and there's pretty much no way to do that without getting through the front where the lens seems to be perma-mounted. Bad iPhone pics are coming....lol.
Inside from rear. I've started Dremeling the upper shield away. Not the steadiest hand in the world, so I've nicked the lower shield a few times. Pretty sloppy. You can see how the shields are one with the rest of the projector and why this is such a pain:
If anyone knows how to remove this lens, let me know ASAP. It is completely in the way.
One taken apart and one whole one. I have to say, if you have a Ford Fusion or other compatible car, these are going to be easy to work with. They attach by snapping into place...no screws or bolts.

I've made some progress on the shield. I should be able to gain enough room to paint the other shield, although it's going to be on top of a black base. I don't think there is any way to sand that off since I can't get that lens off. But, I think it'll be workable.
Goals for today are to get both apart, remove upper shields, and paint lower shields. Still need to make a run to the store to find some paint and pick a color. Ya'll are just going to have to stay tuned to see what I pick. Need some JB Weld and Bondo, too. Then I just have to wait for this first stage to cure and my other parts to come in.
