E46 Single shrouds. There kinda hard to get a hold of but if you wait. Youll find a pair. =) Thanks Guys! I'll be making another set once I get the stock headlight off my car and these installed. Im going to make a identical set to these for who ever is interested in buying them =)

Idk maybe its just cause I'm getting older but I kinda like the look of the amber reflector against the black. To me it gives the headlights a more expensive look and completes the headlight

So what is basically procedure for mounting the lens up? Do they have to be mounted perfectly or can you adjust for any misalignment by adjusting the headlight itself? I'm not at all familiar with retro fits, you made it seem simple but I'm sure it was not.

Well alot of people like to mount them on the car and adjust the projector either clock wise or counter clock wise to make sure you have a level cut off line. As for the up and down height adjustment. That works with the stock headlight adjuster since I mounted the projector directly onto the stock bowl.I like to use the stock bowl reflector lines as a indicator to get the cut off line level. You will learn a ton on HIDPlanet.com if you sign up there and are interested in learning about retro fitting. I made it look easy because I have done a couple of these retro's before and I knew what I was getting myself into and also all the proper tools definately makes things ALOT easier.
