OK, got some more pics.

The trim pieces cleaned up with a sand blaster to remove the chrome

After masking and painting and screwing it up about 5 times...

The headlight lens masked up to black out the edges

still dangling the carrot...

found these even more ricey headlights on Yahoo... not conversion to HID but shows what a black surround looks like

they went for the 5 series BMW 'halo' type light as well...

PS and I don't like the way the LED park lights are circular... I think it takes away from the 'stockness' of the retrofit...

almost there

just need to figure out how to access the rear as the HID sits too far forward in the assembly to get the plug onto... plus there is no way the rear access is big enough diameter...

well thanks to Troy (ylwgtr2) for buggering around with the plug so we don't have to butcher the back of the housing.

Fired them up for hte first time last night - they look awesome - but didn't have my camera...

so we'll have finished pics on the car when the car gets assembled :dry:

so close now...

I'd love to try this as well. My questions are:

Is it easier & cheaper to source a set of GTR headlights from importers such as Slidewise Imports, or source them locally?.

What projectors would you recommend eg S200, Accord, Euro etc??? i.e. is there any differences between honda projectors & car models??

I already have a set of H3C HID's fitted (not happy with them though), do all R32 GTR lights take this fitting??
