Haven't posted at VS in a while. Been busy with an E36 project. Anyway, thought this little projector might be worth sharing with y'all: my wife drives our 1995 850 and I've been bit by the headlight retrofit bug. So naturally I had to modify the 850's headlights.
So far here is where I am:
2001 audi s4 xenon headlights( bulbs+ballast) $50 (gutted goods and sold bare housings for $20)
Spare Volvo 850 headlights
$50
9006 xenon harness
$10
Morimoto canbus harness
Free (left overs from retrofits)
eBay 35w ballast
$30
eBay D2s to amp adapters
Lexan plates
Free
Morimoto Tsx-r clear lens
$45
Rough draft of mounting plate

The cut off and flicker pattern is beautiful with the clear lens. Even sharper than my fx-r 3.0's. More pics and updates to come.
