And make sure the pics aren't just pics of the camera aiming at the lights, but pictures of the pattern on a wall and on the floor too.

Can't wait for the pics either!

My question is with the materials used how much $ would it all total up to convert the headlamp assembly to use HID lights?

Hi there,
It is not done yet. If you'd like to see it on the car, you can use search (headlight projector) feature, someone did photo shop it though, sorry I can not link you to it.
It is A6s and Hella high beam units.

Is accomplished with two adjustment screws between the housing and the mounting bracket. Since Shirtboy's projector units are built into the housing, I'm sure the aiming method of the headlamp remains tha same. My only question is whether or not the plane of the low beam and highbeam units are on the same datum as that of the original 9004 mounting pad. If not, then aiming the headlamps would be impossible.
