yes black out will be available and will probably be cheaper due to the fact the oem chrome plating isn't cheap at all.

I'd agree the s2000 ap1 or ap2's are probably the best projectors out there, but unfortunately they aren't bi xenon..

I chose the TL projectors because they are easy to find, relatively in expensive compared to the s2000 and sc430 but compare very similar in output and cutoff to those two which are at the top of the projector list.

Out of the box I feel the TLs are best.. I mean you can technically take any projector, change the lens, alter the shield, ect.. and make it look 100x better then it was originally.

Finally, someone SERIOUS about doing proper retrofits. The TL projectors are insane by the way, great choice.

i'm confused. do you take a non HID housing and make fit the HID into it? The pictures look like you are replacing HID's with other HID's?

Progress is coming slow.. The challenge is to find material which can withstand the temperature fluctuations, and vibrations of our various climates and driving.
Also have to withstand at least 300 degrees so the guts wont melt when you bake your headlights back together.
We've found some good solutions but cost wise its in efficient, as I said my goal is to make these as economically affordable as possible, a kit costing $600 isn't economically affordable in my books.

yes the concept is to take non hid housings and add my kit which is replica hid housing guts, then add Acura TL projectors, bulbs and ballasts.

If all goes well kits will be ready to ship at months end.

really though, i cant wait for you to be done so we can see your great work. speaking of different projectors, what about the 07-08 maxima projectors? or maybe even the Honda Pilot's projectors? keep us updated and keep up the wonderful work. good luck

theres probably 100's of projectors on the market right now.. I chose then TL's due to their easy obtainability, some what low cost, light projection and cut off..
