First of all, these things look tight! Second, thankyou for not leaving out the pre-98's in your plans. But if I may I'd like to make a suggestion. Is there some possible way to produce the pre-98 headlights where the turnsignal lamp was also apart of the actual headlamp. So instead of their being 2, the headlamp and the turnsignal, make it all one piece. Mainly I'm thinking of this because I think it would look totally awesome to have these on the pre-98's but w/ the current stock turnsignals, I'm afraid it might look sorta funky w/ the nice clear headlamp and then the retarded lined lense of the stock turnsignal next to it. Just a thought. Don't even know if it is something that is possible to do. Please keep us posted, and keep up the good work.

To everyone:
I have received your PMs and your emails... I will get to answer all of them as soon as I can!! I apologize, but this project is insanely time consuming!
In addition, I will be offering two types of HID hardwere to go along with the Xenon versions!!!:
-Panasonic version, which will be about $425 parts
-Philips Version, which will be about $499 parts
The cost difference will therefore be around 80-100$ when all is said and done...
Lastly, Mystiques will be included in this, 99% possibility.
I can do only lowbeam projectors and leave the highbeams stock too. The looks aren't that good but would save some money.
SO HERE ARE THE LATEST DETAILS:
HALOGENS:
-Low Beam Projectors/Stock High Beams: If you donate lights, $225
-Low Beam Projectors/Stock High Beams: If you don't donate your lights, $425
-Quad Beam Projectors: With Donated lights: $$325
-Quad Beam Projectors: Without Donated lights: $525
XENONS:(KITS ALL USE PANASONIC HID HARDWERE... IF YOU WANT PHILIPS KITS, THEN IT IS $100 EXTRA...)
-Low Beam Projectors/High Beam Stock: With Donated lights: 650$
-Low Beam Projectors/Stock High Beam: Without Donated, $850
-Quad Beam Projectors: With Donated, $750
-Quad Beam Projecors: Without Donated, $950
This is the latest update. I am fighting with several companies to reduce their prices on parts. As of now, this is what I have. The prices may go down, or they may stay the same, or could possibly go up too. THIS IS WHY I STRONGLY URGE YOU TO WAIT FOR ANOTHER 2 WEEKS OR SO, UNTIL I AM TOTALLY SET UP. I WILL DO ALL I CAN TO REDUCE THE PRICES ON THESE.
My webpage should be running starting this friday or saturday, so all the details should be provided on there for you guys.
Thanks everybody!

You have to upgrade the fuses to 30A so they won't blow when you light them. But during normal operation, the current draw is less than halogens.

Thanks Louis!! This is exactly true. I've had HID for almost two years now, and no problems have been encountered...

One More Update:I have a teleconference set up with Philips tomorrow. I am trying to have them supply me directly and thus bring the prices down somewhat. We'll see guys... Wish me luck.
