oh, not yet. I'm hoping soon. However since my car is in storage for a little bit more, i can't do final test fitting even after i finish putting them together. I'm trying a few diffrent approaches to see what's the most functional as well as not hidiously ugly. I'm currently going with a custom mold and casting a piece. But it takes time, which i have to find around work and other things.
I could have a part put together fast, however since appearence is important (since we don't drive hondas) i need to come up with a solution that will work with that as well.

BMW style light?? The projectors i am currently using are an e46 style HID projector out of a 2003 BMW 3/5 series. 5-600 would not be practical for dual HID projectors. The sets of HID projectors, bulbs and ballasts go for 200-300 per pair.
What mine are is a projector mounted behind the halo. The halo ring will surround the front of the projector. I am also creating a simple reflector for the old "low beam" section. I am going to use it for my strobe tube for my lights, but it could be used with any type of bulb.
A dual projector starts to get tough, there isn't much room behind the headlight toward the edges.

You wouldn't want a seperate HID high beam. Because they take a few seconds to turn on and a minute or two to fully warm up, you wouldn't be able to flash the highs. The best way to have an HID high beam is to use a movable shield in a single housing. To activate high beams, the cutoff shield simply moves out of the way and the beam cutoff moves higher. That's the best way to do it.

I don't know about the price, still undecided whether I am selling the HID's with them or not. Ill have a set price once I get the pics up.
