Find a piece of 1.5" aluminum round stock for my Projector Retrofit.
Yesterday I did the following:
------------------------------------------
My latest adventure... The Projector Headlights !
I started by making a few measurements of the housing.
Findings:
1) There isn't enough room in the housing to put the Projector in side ! Maybe 1/4" from the front of the lens but to me that is not enough.
2) The Bulb Opening, measures 1.345 ID !
3) The reflector portion of the headlights and the parking lights, they are chromed and I am not sure how to get the chrome off so I can paint them black.
I need to find a piece of aluminum round stock that measures 1.5", this will allow me to get it turned down to the 1.345" of the bulb Opening (Port), so I can use my Jig to drill the mounting holes and to open up the housing for the project or to fit from the rear.
Find a machine shop to turn the aluminum down for me and put a center hole in the piece for a guide, sort of a datum hole, everything will be located from the center of the bulb opening.
Everything... I mean the four holes to mount the projectors and the larger opening to put the Projector through.
Now what was that temperature I needed to open up the housings ? LoL ! what next !
