yea projectors would be awsome. i would rather do my lighting the irght way then the wrong way as it is now. If thse could be produced at a reasonable price for the quality of the prjector i would be in. but i do not beleive that would be possiabe.

when it comes to projectors for our cars is sure doesn't. Other than that I'd have to say that I disagree with this comment Mad-Max_SE. I've got plent of custom mods that either didn't cost dip out of pocket OR cost me less then $15 smackers. All things I've learned here on the Org too.

ok i should have said "reasonable price and custom hid projectors don't go together"

believe me, i made a custom DIN panel for my gauges, and it only cost 10 bucks...i know some custom stuff if far from exspensive, but in this case they don't go together.

Unfortunately I agree with you fully here. All the same…every time I look at your sig, it definitely looks worth both the time and money. Our cars were Made for this setup IMHO.

my friend has an accord, and i looked up close with mine and his, there would need to be a grill modification cause the hood wouldnt fill on the gaps. Heh

BTW does anyone remember who made those BMW halo headlights on here.... I want to do those, and his help would be great.

See how it angles down real fast by the grill, now look at ours there would be a gap between the head light and the hood, it would involve a bunch of body work.

yeah i just got new headlights and there isnt **** for the 4th gen. NOTHING!!! I saw procarparts was advertising the black housings but the arent gonna carry them now. it makes me mad that the 5th gens have black/projector/halos and we only have the cefiro conversion, and its not even bolt-on! well at least not for the Max.
I only paid 185 for the OE replacements (all four) so if anyone knows anything about new housings that I dont, please let me know!!

Those are actually pretty reasonable. They come with Projectors and A6 retrofit HID system for the same that I paid for just my HIDS.

Project $449.99

My Hid's/ without Project From redlinemax. $450

ok, i'm slightly confused here...i know for a fact that it costs at least 900 bones to get them from HIDtech...how you got 449 for the headlights is beyond me

if you look at their prices they go as follows:
$300 for custom retrofit into your OEm headlamps (excludes cost of projectors)
$100 for basically expert installation (wiring and diagnosis)
$449 for the Euro spec hella bixenon HID projector package (includes bulbs, balasts, and projectors)
$0-150 for the projector shrouds

Add that up and you get between $850 and $1000... assuming you use your stock lights (97-99's, the 95-96's can be done too, but you wouldn't get to see the projectors as well)...if not add anywhere between $190 - 300 depending on where you get them...
