You mean a flush-mount kit? Get rid of the pop-ups?

CP Racing sells a set-up...

I was planning a mod with Hella aftermarkets once... I was going to use a foglight for low-beams, and a driving light for the highs...

Why not just use the headlight modules? Low beam headlights have an upsweep on the right, fog ilghts are flat. You will think you're going blind if you use fog lights for low beams. If you find the right dealer, they will sell you the ECE versions, a big improvement over SAE... They come in Halogen & Xenon (big bucks!)

Yep,same ones.
The only down side is that those modules are pretty big.I had to run them on the inside and as far down as possible just to get them to clear my lids.Also,they use an H-9 bulb which is kinda odd.They came with 65W OSRAM bulbs which are very good quality,but plain clear.I wanted to find some "white" bulbs to remove some of the yellowish look to the lights.The only ones I found in H-9 were XD5's with some Japanese writing on the label...you know the ones!.They were 65W and were nice and white with barely a touch of blue.But the blue color of the glass cut down the overall lumens so much I was scared to drive at night.If you do go with an H-9 module,stick to the stock clear bulbs.

THANK YOU!
I only ask that you spread the word of Dan, every time someone starts yammering on about their new "ultra-white" blue lights...
