[QUOTE="Taz, post: 3004187, member: 2127"] Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad to hear this thread helped you out. I promised cobrafan that I'd post some additional photos this past weekend, but I got roped into finishing up the Christmas decorations on Saturday, and the weather wasn't good on Sunday. Maybe tomorrow. I emailed a link to this thread to the outfit that did my lights hoping they would post up, but they never did. I think they're concerned about developing too much visibility, and rightfully so. The Feds have been coming down hard on HID conversions in general because of all the complaints from drivers blinded by the glare from most rebased HID kits. When done right, retrofitted HID's are just the same as OEM HID's, but most don't want to spend the time or money required to do them right. They opt for the down and dirty rebased HID kits and mount the wrong bulbs into reflectors that were designed for halogens. Then, they drive around blinding everybody and bringing the wrath of NHTSA in response. Whatever. I'll just say that if you were to use Google to poke around a bit, you'd probably turn up at least a few websites devoted to retrofitting HID's into cars for which they're not available as OEM equipment. You'd also most likely find an assortment of individuals and small companies who are willing to help you with your own. :thumbsup: Happy trails, T- [/QUOTE]
