I wanna do the retro! Yes i am in San Jose. How much was the total cost of your project?

Currently i have a ballast with no bulbs yet, i was debating if i want to just go with 9006 bulbs or do a full retro like you did

Which one, the headlight or the fogs? For the fogs it was less then 400, the headlights were around 700 I think.

No, the headlights are retrofitted too. They are sc430 projectors with E30 clear lenses.

Hey Tommy
Those shots look fantastic man. Let me know if you ever stumble into a pair of bosch minis on your travels. I've decided against using blazers because of their supposed melting issues with HID bulbs.

If you provide the parts I am more than happy to do it, it's always nice to have a project going on.

Yeah, I'll keep a lookout on a pair. I never knew that the blazers had melting problems? So I guess the projectors can't take the high temp coming from kit bulbs then. Maybe if you convert it to d2s you won't have problems, cause I think OEM bulbs run cooler. But I could be wrong.
