Here is the question I have for all you guys doing retro fits, especially the guys in Jersey. WILL IT PASS INSPECTION? I failed because my Polarg parking bulbs weren't clear when they were off!!! Has anyone in Jersey passed inspection with this setup? I don't want to put the money and time into doing this just to get screwed by the state again!!!!!!!!!

after searching for some projectors on ebay..i have a few questions. n00b questions but would lexus rx 330's fit nicely? about 6th max? tsx? most of them are at least $150+. For people who have done retrofit, where did you all buy projectors from? Is hidplanet.com would be a good site to shop from? thanx for your time in advance

hidplanet sells a complete set of bosche low-beam projectors with ballasts and bulbs for a good price, under $400 i believe. otherwise you look at their forsale/trade forums or ebay for projectors.

Those look smashing...can't wait to get mine in. I noticed on your last picture though that there was alot of light escaping from the side of the shrouds, doesn't that effect the beam pattern? BTW what kind of shrouds are you using?

I do know for a fact that they do check if your high beams work.... so if you're buying a hid kit that does not have high beams, then you have to change it back to stock(since stock has both low/high beam) b4 the inspection.

To get the high beams working, is it easy plug and play, or so you have to do splicing and such??
