Bold, where can Plaster or Paris be purchased.


How exactly did you manage to do this? I've messed around with the stock housing, and have been afraid of attempting this with fear of shattering both the glass lens and glass housing.
Wiring Harness - Again, I had someone make this for me but here is a good way of making one if you choose. It was made so everything was a plug and play ordeal with the proper ballast, projector and H4 plug.



Lexan and Plexi-glass can be found at Home Depot and Lowes. 1/10th Inch and .080 is fine when you go there. Nothing too thin and nothing overly thick.

Garden Light - I only needed the screw on ring for these. These look like the ones I bought. I said this could be done cheaper because I've seen tons of other ideas for this from the bottom of steal coffee travel mugs, and others.

Plaster of Paris can also be found at Home Depot and Lowes. Says it right on the box. Look in the spackle and paint section.

Separating the factory headlamp wasn't as easy as I thought. I tried using regular dremel cutting wheels but they got burned up with barely doing anything. A high temp glue holds the front glass lense to the rear portion. I purchased a "diamond" cutting wheel and it separated it with easy.
