Car is covered in dust, really dirty, and in pieces at the moment, but you get the ideas. They turned out really really good. Gonna compare them to the real thing as soon as I get mine.

Originally posted by Ryan StewartI dont think so. I havent taken apart a non-smoked unit but I thought they had the same plates in the front just silver or white instead of black.
They would hurt the high beam performace a little, but mine are still hella bright.
if you are talking about the low beam, the reflector is replaced with a black plastic piece (that is in much the same shape).

Light output is not affected AT ALL. Low beams are projector headlamps so they do not use the reflector, therefore the reflector is painted black to give the appearance of a smoked headlamp. The highbeam DOES use the reflector, therefore a baffle iin the shape of a black + sign is placed in the center of the highbeam that gives the appearance of a black reflector, but its still fully functional silver. Nick's high beam baffle is very very thin so it's practically not visible from a head-on look like the Hella Smoked Ellips. :up:

4800K-5000K and 6000K is what we have for the 9006 application. I'd have to look into 7000K like some people asked, but i know for sure we have 8000K available, although i don't recommend anything above 6000K.
The kits we sell are made by a company named Acumen optoelectronics. The are Manufacturers of Xenon kits, every aspect.
Their ballasts are wide-range ballasts, running on 8-32V DC. The power cable from the ballast to the bulbs comes in various lengths, up to 1 meter if i remember correctly.
They have Met ISO standards and used molded bases, not glued-on bases. The bulbs have been corrected as well for perfect bulb placement.
The problem with the 9006 bulbs has been addressed and fixed.
The kit comes with ballast brackets for easy mounting, as well as plugs (with the rubber weatherstrip seal on one side) that will plug into your stock 9006 harness. NO SPLICING REQUIRED for those already with ellipsoids.
We can take orders now, but the manufacturer has been having stocking problems due to the demand for the D2 based bulbs.
It' may be easier and quicker to set up a group buy, which i will start in the retail classifieds tomorrow. Prices will be set then.Nick
