but will you have flash ability when the headlights are turned off? gonna use relays or something? I plan to use a projector similar to that... but in the E36 housing, that way i can flash the halogen when the HIDs aren't turned on, but once i turn the HIDs on i will just flip the shield. a pair of SPDT relays will do the trick nicely. of course my overall plans for lighting will be a BIT more manic than just that........ you will see.
