Default LTx HID custom (true) projector bi-xenon install

Well,
I finally got around to starting the re-retrofit (I did a complete HID write-up on my H4 mains and H3 fogs about 2 years ago, just search my screen-name if you want to look at the old install) of my 96 LT1 WS6 for a TRUE set of projector, not the fake projectors that I currently have installed I'm still building my mini vacuum table for making the custom clear (acrylic (probably)) lens covers. Many of you have probably seen (Blackbird WS6's (Brian)) HID retrofit; this will be fashioned very similar to his setup. I will be making some new additions to that basic setup. I hope to be able to make the clear lens covers in some capacity to warrant producing a few every couple of months for LTx guys that would like to perform a TRUE PROJECTOR HID conversion.

Here is my parts list and a few pics of items:
1. AMP to DS2 converter cables (I currently have a HID setup with H4's)
2. FXR true projectors (These are the same thing as the bi-xenon FX35's
except you don't have to trim the bracket tab mounting points. It comes
already trimmed. both projectors are brand new, glass lens, DS2, pigtail for bi-xenon hookup)
operation (HI/LO)
3. 4300k DS2 bulbs
4. Vacuum table


FXR (bi-xenon, glass lens, pre-trimmed housing, amp to DS2, shrouds)













PS: I need someone with an extra set of LT1 headlight housings to donate or sell them real cheap (so I can make my mold for the clear lens). Somebody hook me up

I'm in for this one. If you produce those covers, I'll most likely be in. Depends on price of course.

Hopefully the cost of producing these covers will be very reasonable. I really want the LT guys to have a serious option for a proper HID system

I will be following this very closely, I have been wanting some better lights for my formula, I like a clean look ie: no fogs lights on the lt1 formula bumper but I also dont want it to look tacky. and of course the cost is always a factor.

Glad to hear you are off and running with this project. I was wondering if you already completed it or still working on it. I'm sure it will come out phenomenal.
