JasonWW - Thanks a lot for starting this thread.
TXHorns281 has an excellent setup I'm envious of.
I've learned a fair amount tonight, just from reading the different links you've provided.
Everyone that has done this has had to make their own "cover" to fill in the area left over from the stock rectangular hole right?
...I figure if I mess with this, I'm just going to go all out and get real HID, rather than the halogens. Aside from the extra money, is this a bad decision? Or just an expensive one?
Is it true that the Bi-Xenon is really just a single projector that can do both low and high beams? I would consider this pointless considering the T/A already has 4 separate lights. What I don't understand is why they are the same price. If you can buy a Bi-Xenon that does both hi and low beams, why not buy 4 of them instead of 2 lows and 2 highs? The only disadvantage to this that I can see is the extra connectors you have to buy with the Bi-Xenon setup. Would this be a problem for fear that the little motorized shroud that moves out of the way for hi-beams would break and you'd be stuck with brights?
Here's what I'm considering right now... please point out any errors in my thinking.
For the main lights I would need either:
(2) HL68139 low beams
(2) HL68140 high beams
(4) HL87203 wiring harnesses
(4) HL97300 mounting plates
-OR-
(4) HL68141 Bi-Xenon high/low beams
(4) HL68141SC "shutter control" connectors
(4) HL87293 wiring harnesses
(4) HL87229 "power" connectors
(4) HL97300 mounting plates
For the fog lamp replacement I would need:
HL68142 90mm fog lamp including boot...
HL78175 12V 55W bulb
??? no wiring harnesses or mounting plates necessary?
More questions:
What exactly is a ballast? I see it is included in the super-high prices of these projectors.
Would there be any extra wiring that I would have to do for these lights?
And thanks in advance for the help. I've been completely impressed with the level of expertise and helpful nature of everyone on this site.
