Anyway on to the Build details
FX-R 3.0 Low Beams
FX-R 1.1 (Front Half) High Beams
Gatlin Gun Shrouds.......(they didnt fit)
E46-R Shrouds
Morimoto D2S 5000K
XB Led 60mm (for the highbeam)
XBA Led's 90mm behind the E46-r's
Cadillac Turn Signals
Starting this project, I used the OEM Bonneville Housings from my car.
I quickly realized that the FX-R projector is huge, and will not fit with the reflector in place. That being said mounting would not be possible to the reflector, and will need to be mounted to the Headlight housing.
I went junkyarding for GM Fog Light springs, and used Machine screws to attach.
Top Mounting
Bottom Mounting
Rotation Adjustment
Once the Low Beams were done, it was on to the Highs. Again i realized that there was even LESS room because of the headlight and also what is behind the headlight. I still wanted the Look, and the FX-R is a BiXenon (as well as the fog lights) I decided to use just the front half of a FX-R 1.1 Projector.
Front
Rear
Because its a Fake projector i still wanted the appearance that it was real. I added a XB Led
Making the Mount for the projector
Painted "chrome" to match the insides of a Projector
Both Projectors mounted in the Housing
Now onto the turnsignal. I never was in love with the exposed bulb look when the Orange was removed from the Headlights.
So i set out on a mission to do something different. There are a few cars that have headlights that resemble the Bonneville, so i began looking and came across these....
Cadillac STS Headlights....When you dissassemble the STS lights this is the Turnsignal portion
SO began the cutting and hacking to make the STS turnsignal fit in the Bonneville Headlight....
After everything was mocked up, aimed, and re aimed it was time to put on the shrouds.......they didnt fit when I went to install the lense......
I needed a different design of shroud......
I choose the E46-R
Painted and Finished Turnsignal
With the Headlight Trim
and the FINAL PRODUCT
