7th gen Accord LS430 Retro

well started it today. used headlight that i was gona use for TL retro. for those who said it cant be done, here is proof that it can be. yes projectors been trimmed like no tomorrow but it works.
video and wall shots later today
no, shroud doesnt block any reflector light, already checked.
ok here is latest update so far.
vertical adjustment will be figured out once left to right adjustment is done
more cutting will be needed on top to fit top piece of projector that is responsible for side through

Holy fucking hell! There isn't much left of that reflector. How did you reinforce it?

Cool man. What are you using for shrouds? Obviously not the stock LS shrouds. Or are you?

dont have stock shrouds. i have E46 shrouds so gona see if ic an trim those to fit couse looks like they will work good. even though opening is little big i might order replica with smaller opening (single beam E46)
might use them in combination with RL shrouds, dont know yet have to see what works
more pics in first post

The biggest gripe I have with the LS430 projectors in our housings is how off center they are. Meaning: they sit high as hell and it makes for an extremely difficult retro and in some people's eyes, not very aesthetically pleasing. I obviously haven't tried it but I'm just basing my observation on your photos Misha. Props to you for doing it to shut up the nay sayers. Out of curiosity, do you see any way of mounting the projector separate from the reflector? Just keep the reflector for looks but the projector being completely standalone? Similar to what Chris on HIDP (gold94Corolla) did with his quad FX-R retro.

i probaly can mount it separetly. ihave pair of egay projector headlights and they have metal brakets for mounting. speaking of maybe i can use it for ball mounts. jbwelded one one side so they should be good. need to do it on other side.
today i did other side but have to figure out how to mount it. didnt cut as much. i guess experimenting is way to go
i dont mind how high they are and i think it looks kinda mean this way. im sure they would better if i had oem shrouds for them.
