What CAD program are you using? I am a 10 year veteran of Pro/ENGINEER, but recently have started using Solidworks for other projects.

SolidWorks. I learned on AutoCad in school, but Solidworks is waaaay nicer for 3D.

Man, I'm literally sitting next to those same style headlights and my botched attempt to retrofit. I wanted 4 projectors and that proved to be a handful for me. Good job on these so far. I really like the square lens.

It shouldn't be too hard to install a second projector. The only tricky part would be aiming them, but even that wouldn't be too bad.

Post up a couple pics, maybe yours can be salvaged still.

At least it has started to warm up slightly lately. Sounds like you're gonna have these done pretty soon.

I hope so... Man, there is a learning curve, the first one has taken me about 4 hours tinkering time so far. It took me about 20 minutes to get the second headlight to the same point.
