              I have a KATZ 5000k kit with euro ellips. I want to do the "smoked" inserts and new lenses soon, the light output is great, smooth flow of light and nice sharp cut-off at the top.

                    I made a custom housing to fit an e65 bi-xenon projector. I used bulbs and ballasts from an infinity... did the whole swap for $325.

                      did my swap for free.... my brother had an 01 s4.... he got rear ended, so i ganked the ballasts, bulbs, and projectors.

                      about a week after i put them in the ballasts took a shit, so i guess it is costing me something now... but oh well

                      i kinda want to get bi xenon projectors... anyone interested in a set of smoked euro lights with HID projectors retro'd?

                          E36: Philips 4300K - LOVE em! Pure white.
                          E30: McCoulouch (sp?) 5000K - Pretty nice. Too blue for my like, but others love the bluer lights.
