Yeah, I've spent some time working on this beast. But I don't see myself being anywhere close to finished with repairs and mods. The plan is to take this X past 300K miles, which wont be hard at all.

Thanks for letting me know. All of the cool kids leave that lens out and I honestly didn't plan on putting it back in. I'm almost done with my biggest project atm: Replacing the engine in my truck. Once I get done with that I'll get back to the headlights. I wonder if there's any other lens that can be put in place of the old one..... I personaly am not a fan of the lenses they put over the bulbs. The projector lens is pretty cool though, and I think I've seen somebody do a dual projector install into one headlight... That would be pretty cool
