Some repeat uploads, but a good start to finish idea of the steps it takes to do an HID backed projector retrofit on a 2001 Ford Focus.

Output shots to follow, when an order of Morimoto parts comes in to replace the DDM garbage powering this setup.

This is not photography related at all, much like most of my posts on this blog are not photography related at all.. I just figured I’d share that little disclaimer first off.

Lets take a little cell phone picture tour here. Before and after shots, and then in series.. All because I had this bright idea to do what? A 35w 5000k MH1 retrofit with cut down Panamera shrouds. On a bone stock Focus?

… Of course. I did a retro on my truck and it made a huge difference in terms of night time safety. Knowing this car is my fiance’s and her safety is important to me – I figure why not retro her car? Hone some skills, try some new stuff (refinishing headlights etc..) and at the end of the day, have a cool modification most people won’t know the deal with. This is an “in progress” post – more to come when the new lights are actually in..

Dusted off the old D300 and Siggy 70-200 2.8 for some crisp -10c ice racing action. Some good friends put together an AE86 with a JDM 20v 4age and sharp studded tires to go out and try and hang with the big boys.

Feels good to be shooting something again, definitely not my best work or my best attempt, but I’m a little rusty. Hopefully the next few races I’ll be able to get out there and get trigger happy again. Spray and pray I guess.

More shots of other racers to follow in my next post (which wont be 3 months later like my current theme of posting is)
