Thats cool
Jauhar isn't a warzone btw
So I dont mind taking this car anywhere as long as there's minimal potholes and rough roads, I always take the main cleaner routes regardless of the areas.

@ rohan saeed

That's one clean city.. Masha`Allah

Check your PM

[fawadakbarkhan]

Aah thats great. (Y) Oh, please do share the pros and cons (lol) of this whole process.

And do mention the changes in the visibility after installing these projectors. From the picture, it seems as if you're using OEM 4300K lights, though it would be nice if you clarify that as well.

Cleaned up my inbox, those who tried sending me PM's, can send them again and I'll respond.

So here's some Behind the scenes of the Retrofit I did. It wasn't a straightforward job like I had expected, it was a very hectic task that took a ton of patience and effort.

I started off with heating up the headlights in the oven after which the glue had softened up, used a flat head screw driver to take apart the lens from the assembly.

Here's the reflector:

The lens taken apart:

The tools that were used:

Couldn't take pictures in between so here's how the projector looked like when it was locked up in the reflector housing:

Yes these are Bi-Xenon but don't mistake them for the cheap G3 Projectors that are being sold in Pakistan as "Bi-Xenon HID Projectors"

Here's when I was test fitting the headlight housings:
