Finished... High and Low beam projector HIDs

The headlights were finished about 2 weeks ago, with high beam functionality enabled last weekend. These lights are bi-level projector HIDs that fit in the factory headlamps/pop-ups.

Check out this video http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/we...ZmQzMXk1NDE%3D

Beam pattern is phenominal, and output is like daylight, especially on high beam.

More videos will follow tomorrow.

Thanks for the compliments. I need to sort out parts and costs etc, but I think it is definately doable as a kit. Pics and more videos to follow.

One more video:

Are you posting under a different name now? User "J_J" was posting stuff about a similar kit last week and even before that. Are you the same guy?

BTW: Looks very nice. Definitely interested here. How much and when I can get them?

I've seen H4 bulbs with high/low on Ebay and elsewhere. HID stuff is tricky to get now, but still doable. I've been planning on going with an HID high/low setup on my car at some point. Good to see the video - I've always heard HID works wonders with the FD.

I had a CATZ H4 high/low kit for a few years and sold it to another forum member. It worked really well and it's a shame the kit was taken off the US market and Fet pulled out. You can however still purchase the kit overseas.

That light setup is not using H4 bulbs; it is using D2S bulbs which is found on OEM vehicles. This goes beyond a simple plug-and-play HID kit...we're talking custom work here.

Fatman: What Bi-xenon projectors are you using?

Can't, if he's using a projector housing. It sounds like the D2S bulb with the retractable shield, like J_J was talking about, although there is definitely some custom fabricating involved to get it to work. I'd just like to know where I can get the bulbs and projector housings separately, without spending $600 each...

Why did you get rid of the setup, Jules?

What housings are you using, are they Hella 90mm projectors? That'a a nice cutoff, I'd like to see video of how far it illuminates down a dark road.
