Default hid Projectors... where to get them

well i installed some Hids from a caddy into the vette , and took her out for a ride.. well oncomming traffic is honking me down .. because im blinding them.. and i have them adjusted pretty much on the floor.... i was told that that there might be a projector headlight out there .( fairly cheap also)... that would make the hids work great .. and place the light where it needs to be.... (more down than up)....

if anyone knows anything.. let me know

There is a few places you can get the kit from. I would check with tbyrne I believe he is a sponsor here and he has a really good price on them. I think the kits are like 750 now or so. I know when they first came out I picked up mine for 1500.

Holy **** dawg...thats expensive for len's. I know the C5R kits are about that much, which I want....but...it's a pretty penny.

There should be some on the site that sells them. Here is a link to what is in the kit. http://www.vette-hid.com/c5.html

Here is a link to Tbyrne's site that sells them looks like they are 899 now.

I'm with you doctor.

I kinda dig the BLACK housing/projector setup.... i'd like to see thiem in person. I would consider buying those but, I really want non-pop up lights for the less drag effect.

Thanks for the pictures SIG
