Not worth the cost to me. Just putting an LED bulb in the stock housings is NOT considered a projector headlight, as the optics of the stock lens do not work with a projector assembly. Hope this makes sense. Here are some photo examples of a true projector retrofit into the glass housings that I used. These would look awesome, and function very well, but I can't bring myself to spend nearly $1000 for a custom glass headlight housing that is 1' from the road surface. 7x6/H6054 Bi-Xenon Projector Retrofit Service - Quote Selected

I like do-it-yourself approach, but I'll have to get up the confidence in my fabrication skills. Lot's of amazing ideas to consider, thanks so much for sharing. Quote Selected 2 Likes
Re: Headlights differences for 2000 U320's Reply #27 – February 04, 2019, 12:07:04 pm Took me a bit, but here are some installed shots. Don't mind the missing fog light - I am playing with replacing the fog lights with some LED lights and was taking some measurements. This shot gives you a good idea of old vs. new headlights with my co-workers U295 parked next door.

Any regrets or do-overs? Thanks!If you're referring to my conversion documented in this thread, I am thrilled. Two complaints:1. Apparently the right side was repaired at some point in time and the outer light does not fit well. It's probably something only I will ever notice, but it bothers me. It is out of adjustment and can't be adjusted any further and is OK, but points a bit down and away from where I'd like it to be.2. I want to do a dual low beam on mod as the low beams still aren't bright enough to my liking. In factory configuration, only two headlights are on in low beam mode, and all four are on in high beam mode.I just drove 3000 miles with 1000 of those at night, and the difference between the new setup and the old setup is night & day, pun intended!Well worth the efforts.
