hey lilredrocket,
thanks for your reply, it really helps put together pieces of info.. i saw something on milan, but to be honest the search function isn't very easy, it lists each post out, and you have to specify which board, etc... i originally found stripedsvt's response via that search in aesthetics. i guess i didn't search enough though to figure out who milan was.
$1200 is a lot.. wow..even though i figure that includes the hid's. i know my phillips were around 4-500.. i wasn't hoping to spend to much to convert these tours to projectors.. i guess i'll have to hold on to them until my next car.. and save myself the 700$ option on a new car.
