bah sorry to post again, but you should probably paint the housings black. It isn't necessary, but there is a small amount of light that'll bounce around in the headlight and cause glare.

In the picture that shows the cutoff (which is pretty damn nice) it looks like there's some spots of glare shining on the building, but that could just be the picture. Either way, it'd be nicer to other drivers if you painted it black.

well my friend has a wrecking yard and he specialized in porsche's parts. And i came upon a 2007 Porsche Carrera S with two headlights with busted lens. I asked him how much for them because i know their output beam pattern was amazing. He said he can not sell it due to the crack lens and no one would want them and he told me to just take them because he's limited on space. So nice score for me. But you can buy just the projectors from Ebay for $250-$350 for a set and then just retrofit them into your headlights. But just warning you that its really time consuming. (Buying parts, cutting, retrofitting, aiming, etc. )

actually i have two set already retrofitted. one is painted flat black and the other one is all chrome. One set has Porsche projectors in them, and the other one has Audi RS6 A6 projectors in them. I still love the Porsche output.

One more night shot for the hell of it.

oh btw, theres no glare at all onto oncoming traffic. anything above the cutoff line is just blue.

Nice, man those things are bright. I wanted to snag some of Donald's HIDs, but not sure how much work/wiring goes into it and if it's even CLOSE to the light output you see here. Anyone running them? Oh, and what's the deal with the low beam only stuff? That seems gay.

man yeah I was just looking through the pictures and noticed you showed the black housing ones at the beginning then had some chrome ones in the pictures.

Anyway it looks really good and you got a good deal. I can't see myself paying 200-300 for that though.

expect to pay about $500-$700 for complete retrofit. and close to $1200 for complete retrofit by a professional. which totally sucks ass. But i got a good price for everything. I guess i just paid for headlights and ballast and D2S bulbs

its not just low beam. theres a motor built inside the projectors and whenever you click on your hi beam it actuates the motor pulling down the cutoff shield that blinds oncoming traffic. do not get pnp kits and do it right. retrofit.

take the projectors you have on your crx and bake them. so the glass seperates from the body of the projector. and start modifying it so you can fit a single xenon projector in there. It would be perfect for a retrofit. bmw projectors such as the BMW E46 projector fits into the ebay projectors and you can get them for $50 shipped and all you need is a Ballast, and D2S bulbs for $150 more. Its not too bad.
