Thank you for your interest on our product line. Unfortunately, we do not sell our HID kits components alone. We only sell a complete headlamps upgrade.

Regards

ACA International Holdings Inc.

I've seen those before and I think they are somewhere around 3 inches longer than the standard housing. I realize that this is needed for the projector to fit, but I wonder if they would even fit for how the LT1 bird guys need it. I'm thinking it may hit the front bumper. Check out the third picture of them on that site and I don't think these will work at all seeing how far back the projector housing goes.

Thats why I wanted just the housing. Most bi-xenon projectors are long as hell. I don't think it would hit the front bumper, I think the problem would be the length of the projector. I got some ideas from it tho, can't wait to get back home so I can start working on them!

Your probably right on it not hitting the front bumper. I would certainly like to see what you come up with. Keep us posted.

from a place called spitzkraft just add a .com
the company that manf. them is a place called acahid and do the same
I'm not affiliated with them, just letting people know because there are so many people asking questions about HIDs for their cars.

500$ is cheap if you ask me! For having some actual LEGAL HID's thats a FAIR price! I know thats a good cam swap or nitrous setup but ****...Seeing better out of your car is a good upgrade!

Doesn't it say that it is $500 for one light, not a pair?

yea $500 a side but i think that looks alot better than the flush mount setup for a $1000 bucks, if i had a $1000 to spare i think it would be hard to not try these cause you get the best of both worlds you get to keep your flip down setup and also have a true projector hid setup for your bird .......well what is the exact measurments of a stock 98-02 t/a housing??

Same company that makes the really popular vette HID's. There was a guy from Texas on the vette forum selling the ones for the vette, and everybody that got them loved them. They aren't bi-xenon's though. I wanted/want some bad for my vette but they were/are just too expensive for me.
