Greg, I dont think the HID question has fully been answered yet, and I was wondering if you would be able to provide some input on that.

I understand that you would want to have D2S bulbs instead of D2R bulbs because you wouldnt want the D2Rs to block out some of the extra light. From my understanding though, many projector housings that are made for halogens do not work very well with HID lighting and there is a lot of leakage and glare that result. Also, I hear that the cutoff line in some of these applications is not as good as a projector housing that was made for HID applications (i.e. OEM HID projector housings)...

Anybody with any insight on this, your input would be much appreciated.

actually....if you go to Symmic's store on eBay,

http://stores.ebay.com/Symmic

and if you look at the housings that they have for different cars, (Mustang, Eclipse, Maxima, etc.) All of them say that they DO NOT support HIDs because the bulbs are too long for the projector housing.

I don't know if this is relavant to anyone else here, but if the projectors won't support HID's, then I'm out of the GB...If there is any way that you can get the company to make sure that they will support HID applications in this projector housing, that would be the only way that I would stay in...thanks.

Am I the only one who is interested in Carbon Fiber? ahah I thought it would be nice to match my tail lights and some people's CF Hoods.

Regardless I am in for whatever gets produced...Chrome, Black, CF..whatever!

[Paladin06Greg]

You know I live for CF..

Im down for carbon fiber too esp. to match the taillights.

However, they have black corners so black headlights would match those no problem. Also, I think the carbon fiber taillights would match the headlights whether they were black or carbon fiber.
