not much still shots, mostly action.
ebay housings for like $40
online cheap HID's for $120
i can do the same setup now for even less than 2 years ago, lol
vision is great, cutoff is horrible, bright as **** but the way i have them adjusted i've never been high-beamed for blinding people.

before i had my retrofits, i had H4 HID's at 6500k... i though those were bright and lit up the road like day light...
but when i switched to projectors and had them retro fitted using 4300k bulbs, it was like the heavens opened!
i just think its not about the beam intensity or brightness of bulbs, its how you control the your beam of light and project it forward instead of all over the place. You guys havent seen visibility until you ride in a car with retrofits, trust me it worth the investment.

I like the lack of cutoff pics provided. Seems only one person did the HID conversion correctly.. Kudos to them.. I think its ricey to slap blue *** lights in your car and blind the hell out of people with non-hid refractors.. but some consider my big *** wing to be ricey.... anyways here is my custom setup... "I has cutoff".....muhahaha 
4300k just as good as my s2k

Complete HID set up
6000k HID Hi/Lo, Hella housings
3000K (yellow) HID Fog, stock housings (on with the lows)
6000K HID Driving Lights, PIAA housings (on with the highs)
I drive dark canyons to and from home, so best lighting I could find is important.

NJgreenbudd is the man with the master plan... i followed his exact retrofit install with the TSX projectors. I will never go back to just dropping in HID's in any headlight housing
I was once part of the crew that just dropping in HID bulbs into a headlight housing would make me have better visibility. I have to disagree now. Its blinding for others and the light isn't controlled...
The retrofit install was so simple... cheap compared to what your going to spend on (the risk of others getting blinded and causing an accident or getting pulled over for your HID's)
and in my opinion is just looks better.
