You should definitively make them with 2 bi-xenon hid kits (hi/low kit). that way you have 4 hid low/hi beams. So BRIGHT!

^^ don't you think ive already tried to do that???
No way I would opt for a "Fake Quad" setup if I could make "True Quad" setup work on CZ4A HLs..

* The BiXenon projectors that are readily available won't fit in the DRL housing when I use E46 shrouds.. That's the only shroud I've come across so far that looks the best/OEM in the DRL housing.

If I had the facilities and skills to work with vacuum forming I would have completed a "True Quad" setup ages ago..

The shrouds used are originally from E46 M3 headlights which have the "XENON" logo embossed..

I then paint the shroud black then mask the letters with masking tape. Takes more than one hour to mask and paint one shroud... Quad setups = 4 x shrouds.... That's over 4hrs+ of masking and painting

^^ once the letters are dry, I mask the letters "E" & "O" then paint...

You need external lighting to see it...

How can a copper book you if its not "EMITTING" a red light?

When the car is in motion you wont really see it...
I have a question about that.. I was thinking about putting the red shield behind my projectors with out the red led so that it reflects red.. U said it only shows red when there is a reflection of light... If i have my headlights on will still reflect red or will it be normal then?

Sorry if this a stupid question or if it was answered already..
