I would recommend very high quality projectors, such as the S2K's or the Bosch E46. They have an exceptional cutoff and pattern with a nice color band. I think the Hella 90mm are pretty darn good as well. I wouldn't recommend a cheap projector to anybody as they will only be disappointed later on.
Those look like they run $300pr. It would be more sensible to get the DOT Hella's for $120pr. and mod them to use the D2S.

And I'm thinking with the ebay he's talking about units for those cars being $130 although he doesn't seem to understand theres a difference between prices on mass produced and readily available units for cars that already have fixed headlamps or those that have a larger market (ie worldwide instead of mostly domestic), and those that are limited production/first run.

That pic on the blue TA with only 2 projectors is great. No need to jazz it up with a blinker, the idea is to keep it clean, besides we already have blinkers on the bumpers, thats not something you want to draw attention to.
Just my .02.
Im ready for a set but i wonder if anyones really gonna commit and build them.

cgworth, what do you want out of your lights? A better beam spread, sharper cutoff, HID or do you just want to get rid of the popup design?

guys this is a technical forums so please keep that "almost anything goes" crap out.
IE (keep cussing to a minimum, no bickering/insults, etc)
Seriously, what good does it do to insult each other ? Now back to the topic, LT1-7 if you're reading this, can you give us an update ?
