I just wanted to have opinions, Let me know what you guys think:) See pic: http://www.telcomplus.net/josch/images/IMAGE011.jpg
More pics at: http://www.telcomplus.net/josch/images/misclibrary.htm Holy ****! I remember that S15 from the Phillips Lighting Forum. What's your name over there? I haven't posted over there in ages! I remember someone with a Prelude did the same thing IIRC, using A6 projectors! PS. Very nice install on that Contour! I thought that retrofitting projectors in a Contour would have been the way to go!

Holy ****! I remember that S15 from the Phillips Lighting Forum. What's your name over there? I haven't posted over there in ages! I remember someone with a Prelude did the same thing IIRC, using A6 projectors! Yeah, hey Packrat, what's up? I remember your screen name. I'm JustHitADeereWithHID over there. there's been a lot of things happening over there while you've been gone. The whole 'exotic car projector retrofitting' thing has gotten quite commonplace now as most people are realizing that putting modified Xenon D2S bulbs into D.O.T. halogen fixtures JUST DOESN'T WORK. People seem to be getting smarter now, ever since all the bulb peddlers had previously brainwashed everybody for so long! Anyways, nice to hear from you here, talk to ya later?

i've been looking for HID or xenon projector lights to put into my 2000 se.. cant seem to find any although i'm guilty of not thuroughly looking.. anyone got a link or phone # for me? Also, to Speed Demon: eBay is one place to look (if your experienced at eBaying). Use keywords 'HID' or 'Xenon' in eBay search engine, and click on highest prices first, then scroll. Or try this link: http://pub29.bravenet.com/classified/show.php?usernum=2463599200&cpv=1

I have thought about putting some Sylvania Xenarc auxilliary HID's on my Jetta. 1/2 of my 1 hour commute is in the dark. I'll have to drop in, if I can remember my password. I guess I could always re-register under my AIM name!

By the way, how did a VW guy like you find his way here to the land of the Contours? Are you thinking of a car change, or did you already have a Contour, years in the past?
