Default I have a few new retrofit ideas

As the title says I have a few new ideas I'd like to get out there and create using a HID retrofit project but I don't have a donor as of now. I'm also in the process of redoing my ES300 retrofit with hybrid projectors (have access to one Valeo DOT shield I just need the last one and we're golden).
Anyhow, PM me for latest info and lookout for that write up in the next week or so (depending on how soon I get my hands on that shield)

ehh why a4 projectors? they dont have great output and compared with stanley projectors there below avarage at that. If your looking for a ton of color and awsome output go with TSX, granted there on demand right now but there color with a little mod will match if not even surpass that of the a4 and waisting a z300 lens on a4 is nonesense, your better of just buying a4's with clear lens's there is a pair on sale on hidplanet if I remember correctly.

Oh I don't know about all that. Check this out (Its the Hybrid in action shields were left OEM and not bent by the way)



And that's the passenger side



And that's the driver side....Its all about how you rock them.
By the way, all beams are from 50-65 feet away from the car....
