Got the Micro DE's in today! In the end these lights will be an investment in themselves but should be well worth it!!!  :)

Then I got seat belts from a Hummvee, and BMW seatbelt covers just need the adjusters now!

Working from BigPines list I've crossed off a few items and more are on there way! I still have a few items to purchase such as ballasts and what not but I'll get those later! Below are my Catera side markers and mirror switch!

Micro DEs are the OEM small lamp. That is what I plan to use.

I found those ballasts on eBay. You know how it is. Sometimes you score! The guy had 100 of them and it looks like he sold them all.
If I don't have time to do it right, when will I have time to do it over?

I'm sure you could get those Lexus projectors to work but if you want the actual projectors and ballasts from the Murcielago, they can be found on an '02 - '06 Audi A6 - Hella #9DR 151 333-02, #9DR 151 333-04: Off-the-Shelf Parts for the Murcielago



Ordered a set of projectors from the Audi but I'm curious how you found such a good deal on those ballasts! I'm also wanting to know what the majority of people plan on using for the smaller lamp, P1's or the Micro DE's? Thanks!

Glad you found the list helpful. I mainly created it because I needed it so I could print it up and take it to the junkyard! I figured someone else may want to do the same thing. :)
If I don't have time to do it right, when will I have time to do it over?

That's funny that you posted that link cause that is what I had in my back pocket while walking around the junkyard this morning! I just so happened to run across the Lexus ones and was curious if they would work, knowing my luck they wouldn't or would just be a pain in my backside so I left them. I did however grab some Prelude trunk hinges and a catera mirror switch! To bad all the marker lights were broken! That list you are working on is very helpful by the way! Much Appreciated!!!  ::thumbup

Anyone know anything about the projectors in a 95 Lexus ES 300? There are 2 projectors per headlight and look to be about three inches in diameter! I'm curious as to whether I should grab these or not? I'm wondering if I can just reconfigure the guts of the entire headlight assembly into mine! Thanks!

Yeah, as others have said, those latches will work mounted inside the door skin but if you want the outer mounting like on the original car, they look like this: Off-the-Shelf Parts for the Murcielago

I've mentioned this before but the latch for the driver's door works differently than the other doors.  The driver's door will not allow you to lock the door then close it, locking your keys inside.  This is built-in to the latch so check the operation to determine which one to use there.
Those latches will work but require you to mount them inside the inner door skin with just an opening for latch contact. That is what I had to do but I wish I had the other mounting.  That would have made it much easier to construct and to service.

The W126 latch has the guide on the striker, wait what kit is this for?  ::scratch
It's looking pretty much the same other than that maybe they don't all have this
