Information Request - Projector D2S Native Headlights W/ DDE
We are in negotiations with our contract manufacturer to produce complete D2S replacements complete with projector, DDE Lightning, and Xenon 5000K or 6000K bulbs.
For roughly $600-700 full replacements.
They will look similar to this:
Thoughts?

It could cost $400-500 or $700, better to give you a higher cost amount

Just makes sure that these lights fit specifically for whichever model you intend to make them for. The eBay ones aren't made specifically for an 02'-03' model, even though it will fit. It’s not like a glove. It’s like a dude w/ a sixth finger trying to put on a five finger glove. He can cram that extra finger into whichever finger hole, but it won't look right.
Also, I don't care for the look of the anniversary lights compared to the ones normally found on an 02' and 03' the reason I say this is because the pic you posted above remained me of the anniversaries... I posted both pics below for comparison...
Unless I see an actual prototype, it's hard to imagine what you plan to produce... check out the pic below...
Maybe, my fist question should be, what year model are you planning on targeting, cause if it's not going to be an 02' or 03' I’ll just leave my .000002 cents at that... for now, I’ll let this be until I see something more concrete...
BTW, again, I’m not bashing, or flaming... I love your idea! I wish someone (you guys even) would've came out w/ this earlier! You guys are smart creative peeps, I’m sure it's going to look awesome in the end anyhow! In which case, I WILL be standing in line for this great product...

Ooooh this would be awesome if it was made as total replacement. It wasn't too clear from umnitza's post if it would be total headlight replacement or something you would replace from 2k2-2k3 housing.
Since 2k2-2k3 housings CAN be fitted to 2k-2k1's it would be okay to shoot for 2k2-2k3 fitment assuming this is indeed complete replacement
~$600 would be about perfect.

Great idea...well worth the money if you guys do it right. Make them look classy not like Civic rice crap. Where would you source the projectors from? We could use our ballast and buy bulbs...how about you just make the housing and we can take it from there.

Wow this would be great! A couple things that I would like to see is, that they are made to fit the 2k2 and 2k3 perfectly and that the housings also come in black. Also what projectors will you use? Hella, Valeo, etc? I bought the ebay ones and retroed in Valeos but the housings were cheap and didnt fit right so I took them out. Lets make these a great alternative so i can have my projectors back.

I just dont want to get it, even if completed. That would render my 2K2 HIDs obsolete Thats a high price tag for something thats useless 
Damn noobs get all the lucky breaks... baahhhh
