Customers may request options listed above. The customer will be responsible for shipping the headlights to us for retrofit. Headlights received with damage not identified by the customer will be returned at the customers cost.

Please note the following:

- Projectors will be secured but allow for minor adjustment once installed in the vehicle.

- Customers purchasing only the retrofitted housings must supply their own HID kit or H1 lamp.

The group purchase will run for 2 weeks (March 26th) or until we have 10 orders. If you are interested in purchasing, please send a PM with the title "I WANT THE BLS KIT" and you will be forwarded the payment information. Once the group buy concludes, the housings will be retro'd and shipped within 3 weeks.

Well said! I was a part of his intro GP on the Firebird projectors. My most worthwhile mod so far. Quality is great and driving at night has been enjoyable ever since.

Nice! I'm curious to see how functional the high beams are with blacked out housings.. Please post pics of the "whistler version" when you get a chance.

That's what the current pics are of? Its a bi-xenon projector which means there is a shield that raises in the projector to create your high beam pattern along with still using your stock halogen lamps.

Great pricing and thanks for delivering on your word to make these.

What brand bulb/HID kits will be included?
Your post says 35 watts, Is 50 watts kit an option with these projectors?

If those are Morimoto mini H1 projectors, then no. The projector is too small to deal with the extra heat from 50W HIDs.

I don't think you'd need 50W however, 35W HID is PLENTY bright.

50 watt has been known to cause damage to the Morimoto Mini-H1 bi-xenon projector. Stick with 35 watt.

No problem. We will be here when you are ready.

I don't have exact pricing at the moment but it won't be a ridiculous difference. Were you looking at a complete setup or just housings?

The high beam lamp will lose output since the reflector is blacked out however the real benefit to this mod is the bi-xenon projector. If you do the low/high wire mod, you will have both the halogen high beam lamp on and the projector in the high beam mode. The light output will be far superior to the stock housings.

Happy to hear this is well received. For the complete kit, we will be using Morimoto 3Five ballasts and Morimoto lamps. 50W will not be an option since as already mentioned, the projector bowl will not like the added heat.

Ditto and yes these are Morimoto Mini-H1 projectors. Feedback from the owner of the vehicle shown in the pics has been great. Hopefully he will chime in with his comments.

Correct and thanks for the jumping in.

Complete setup, I'm at the point where I'd rather pay and have it right instead of risk breaking my housings.

These look top notch and at a good price too. I don't see why these won't be a huge hit with the Camaro guys.

My BLS kit for my TA should be arriving in the mail tomorrow. I cant wait!

2 things keeping me back:

1) Not sure if I want to go that route or a little more custom (call me a ricer but I think nice white CCFL halos look good on these cars)
2) I don't even have the car yet!

^same here! Wondering if I can get the complete housing without the bulbs. Not that it matters anyway. I'm running H1 5000k right now anyway. But the housings And lenses aren't really that great. -K2 Motor.
