another hid setup

Hey guys, i noticed another bird on here with hids. i finished my setup just a few months ago, but for some reason, i couldnt sign onto my account here. here are some pics of my projector retrofit with hids.

none of this stuff is really out there for purchase, (except the basic hid kit with bulbs balasts igniters) i got the projectors from a car at work, and custom made all the brackets and shrouds. i tried silver jsut to see how it looks, but soon it will be gloss black with a "hammered" finish.

nice! thats a good cutoff, what type of projector are you using? what type of bulb 8000k or etc..?
i got a hid kit but one of the ballast was messed up and now i am waiting on a new one.

projectors are valeo projectors, the kit is 5300k since thats the closest to 4300k i could get in the bulb size i needed.

Nice work, looks real clean.....I would also recommend the gloss black to give a more stock appearance.....As Snake said, what tyype of bulbs and projectors?

I like the silver. It goes well with your scoop inserts...

thanks guys. the actual projectors came out of a 2004 vw passat. the hid kit is called boehmen, supposedly a decent german kit, but there company was bought out by another hid manufacturer from japan, and basically swallowed. everything else was custom. it too between 100 and 125 hours to get to that, including other versions that didnt quite make it.
