Except that the housing isnt made for HIDs, so you're just dazzling everyone else on the roadway. Not something I'd want to be on a single lane highway at night.

I have projectors on my Bu. If you want to know how to get them, there is a tutorial on my site @ www.MalibuClub.ca .

Glad to see you didn't pay the ripoff $100+ that some places charge for HID. 35W (Standard) HID should not cost more than $50 these days as the 50W HID kits are only worth $100. I have 50W 5000K HID projector lowbeams with 4 CCFL 6000K Angel Eyes and then dual 35W 6000K retrofitted projector fog/driving lights. It's like daylight in front of my car at night with all 3 sets on, lol.

bignick - Got any details you can share on your install? Any pictures? Where did you mount the boxes?

Did you get the $33.99 ones or the $73.99 two light version?

Thanks.

i have a complete - brand new - set for sale. never even opened
they are the 8000k - the best overall in my opinion and experience with many set ups

i will make a 4sale post - but this is an early heads up i guess lol

Im also curious on the Install. I ordered a kit and looked at how it would be installed but im guessing I would have to remove the whole headlight unit for that. Do you still use the Auto Lights or did you remove them, I honestly dont want to remove mine......

A writeup would be nice :p
