What kind of car do you drive, what kind of setup do you want on your ride and where in IL do you reside? Did you read my writeup on my retro project?

If I had time and was in Chicago I would do them for you. I;m on campus at U of I Champaign finishing my last semester here. In all reality, the job takes time (alot when done right) perfect. Usually tests like aiming consume the most chunks. Other than that, I would say talk to John if you don't mind your equipment being sent out. I've seen their work. I'll be selling my 95 headlamps retrofitted and all for 750.00 if you know anyone with an ES300 92-96 that wants 2001 3 series xenon lighting. I've got the entire system retrofitted in there complete with the color modified projectors that do that cool violet flicker when my car goes over bumps. (seen by oncoming traffic of course)

you will still be able to ajust the projector with the stock screws.

Hey, I'm down in Champaign as well. How long did it take you to do the complete job and where did you get the projectors from?

Do you use regular factory HID components, or do you go ahead with the retrofit ones that have a rebased bulbs that fit into the original halogen sockets?

Thanks,
-Brian.
