Infinity FX HID Retrofit on Mercedes R170 SLK Depo Headlights *Pictures*

Hey guys!

I know some of you guys we're not a fan of my SLK mods... but I thought this one might interest you!

I am excited to show a preview of what I have been working on lately!

=). Night shots and install pictures to come!

Can't wait for the entire thing to be done! It'll be gorgeous!

One of your pics shows the black cover back in place, however it's unlikely that it would fit after the mod because of the protrusion. Also can't see the wiring for the light coming out the bottom with the cover in place. Did it indeed fit?

These headlights we're hand made custom! Took Infinity-FX projectors and shrouded them in E55 style projector shrouds. The halo isn't a halo but an effect of the E55 smooth shroud!
