Looks way better now. I need to start on mine but having trouble finding where to start.

Thanks

start by looking for a good deal on a projector and ballast. ebay has a few.

I'm actually trying to sell mine locally if anyone offers me a decent price. I'm really trying to save for a swap.

Nice work. I'd love to have HID's some day... If I keep my car that long.

Saw your thread over on the HIDplanet forums too. The new shrouds look way better, did you just get em from retrofitsource or something?

 

[Black Magic]

thanks man. I got them off of ebay last year but I just recently installed them.

where did youbuy the projectors?

 

[JohnS.]

You can find projectors all over eBay.

so in your title it says HID retrofit.....you have projectors don't you? are projectors HID's? Can you hi beam HID's? Can You hi beam projectors? (this assuming you don't have two separate bulbs to do the two different tasks) THanks, Just kinda confused about HID's/Projectors

 

[Black Magic]

Yes, I have bi-xenon projectors which means it has both hi and lo beam. Not all projectors are like that. If your headlights has a separate bulb for hi/lo beam then you don't need a bi-xenon projector.

You can have HID headlights without a projector like the lexus is300. HID is more or less referring to the light source/bulb. unless you have d2r bulbs and a housing made for HID, then you should be using a projector.
