Finally painted my new turn signal mirrors and install them today and wow, it really does give the car a more modern look. Pardon my crappy spray paint job (first timer).








^^^ I don't mind that its not flush but it has a nice feature to let the cars on the side be able to see the turn signal as well.

I've always wanted to put a proper HID projector into the ABM headlights of my S70 and now after purchasing a set of Audi TT projectors, i've found a way to fit them onto the ABM projector/headlight bracket without major modification. I've simply removed the studs on the bracket from the old halogen projector and bored out the holes. I've inserted some size 8 screws through the holes as the new studs for the Audi TT projector. Then enlarged the holes on the Audi TT projector and drilled another hole for proper fitment. I've yet to test the setup (because I need to order some D2S bulbs and a adapter to use with my HID ballast), but i'm confident this design will work.







I've used a spare bracket to do the testing on, so that I won't ruin the ones on my car if I screw something up. If this test prototype works out, i'll probably post up a DIY when I do the right side headlight. I also need to check if this setup will clear the backing of the headlight assembly, as I'm not 100% it won't rub up against the headlight cap in the back.

Long story short, I have new caliper brackets that aren't machined correctly where the pads don't fit properly on the bracket. So I decided to sand/dremel away some of the material on the bracket to make fit. I think I messed up somewhere and I now could use a used 302mm caliper bracket to throw on there. Let me know if you do have a set or even just one that I can buy off of you.

Thanks
