You want to keep them behind the plate so they don't melt, not in the housing by the HID bulb..

Next I am going to add Morimoto minis to the inside where the red halo is to make them a dual projector and might add oracle color changing halos.. sooooo TBC....

Thanks for looking..
 


I bought the lights for $130.00 was on a car 2 weeks before it was rear ended. then with lights and all I would say under $80.00. Was like $36.00 for the white halo's, $12.00 for the reds, then misc wiring and all was about $15.00 and the push button was like $8.00, LED's and resistors were about $13.00. Sealer was $7.00 (all a little over estimated).. So wasn't to bad price wise, but labor and taking these things apart is a PITA!!!!
 


How did you get the lens off the body of the spyders? Def a great job and a lot of work but looks good. :th_laugh-pointup:

It was very time consuming do to the cheap body. A major PITA. there was some cutting and resealing but wasn't to bad.
 


As far as getting them apart I baked them on 225ºf for 30 minutes at a time they are clued very well. Just a side note be very very very careful with these lights takes about 2 hours each light just to get apart. I was being very careful toovso might be shorter. Take your time with these.
 
I will be adding the Morimoto minis to these in a month or two for a dual projector headlight and HID fogs to match. I am looking for a projector fog I can add a red halo too as well.
