well this is whats gonna happen, im going to buy a new set (coming from my dads pocket. Im going to transplant the lens from that new set to this set and ship it off done. Yeah ill take pics..i really like how the one that wasnt messed up worked Hey that guy thats local..how does the idea of making some sort of lensless projector? know what I mean? I mean like having a 3d projector, seal it off right of course (the high beam) and the projector itself can be closed up somehow (this idea is still in the works) hmm also how about projectors with paionted interioir to match the color of the car... :) I like learning from mistakes maybe it can be turned productive, Local dude message me pls. Oh ill get the pics asap it appears to have rained last night and the good projector is still curing , dont wanna risk it yet.

this is what i mean by 3d projector

http://www.geocities.com/c00l.geo/3dprojector2.JPG

with the exeption that the high beam would be sealed (plasting thats strong enough to withstand heat (dont want it melting) and well sealing the back. Prepping and painting the black parts to the color of the car. hmm I think they would look sweet,,defenetly something different to play with. I was going to take poics of the projector that came out fine but I didnt because its still curing.. doh. Now next time i wont use fiberglass at all. Im using sylicone and plastic panels. Much safer cleaner and cures WAY faster (1 hr or 2) Already ordered the new projectors.
