Thats an awesome site with great products. But even if we used the HID kits they have and the custom harnesses, we still wouldn't have true HID. We'd then have to custom retrofit the projectors into the headlight housings. I mean i'd still do it in a heartbeat, but it would just be more work.

I know J J did this, or atleast had someone do this for his headlights. I dont remember, but i do remember that it looked awesome. I think he was charging like 600 or 700 bucks. Still, it would definetly be worth it.

well this people can make it for you (which is what I'm thinking of doing). I got the idea from JJ and but I didn't know how he did it. Then I ran into this site. for $750-$775 you get high beams too and done with the right projectors.

Yes is the Hella Bi kit that sales for 450 + 275 for mounting on your lights. $725 for an HID kit made for our car that got a very good light patern, hi & low beam and is probably better than any other aftermarket light kit (slick lights)out there.

Well I'm not going to do it myself because I don't have the time. It would be cool if they made a nice price for us FD owners too. Another thing I like about them is that they can make black hosing too.

I already have an HID H4 5000k kit installed in the stock housings. I'd love have my stock housings converted.

I remember someone suggesting taking the lens cover to an injection molder and having them make a clear cover.
