I can't PM for some reason.

Either way, what brand are they and where did you order them from? I'd like a set.

Yup, I just got off the phone with them and it's expensive. For some reason they are selling the left side for more then the right. He quoted me $1300 for the left side and $880 for the right, that's the entire assemblies with ballast and bulbs.. So bascially $2200 with tax, WOW that's ridiculous. I am beyond HEATED

i sold my HID kit, man what a bad move that was.

there is no ignitor in this kit. I screwed the ballast brackets right under the headlight on the sheetmetal. ->perfect fit. no there is no wire that runs to the battery. i cant stress it enough....YOU WONT BE DISSAPOINTED. Great kit. email him at removed. maybe he can work out a group buy for you guys.

just dropped you an E-mail, I'd love to see some night pics if you can swing it. Great price. I've watched the salvage yards but so far no luck!

Yes, if you can post some night shots of the beam pattern and maybe one of the pattern up against a wall that would be greatly appreciated. I want to see how the Halogen projectors do with HID's in them. Interested in seeing how the sign spotter looks also..

CTS V6 3.6, Did you have to adjust the alignment (lower the beam) of the headlights? I thought you might have to lower it since the HID's are brighter.

Hmmm, u had stock halogen headlights correct? Where's the sign spotter? Right above the lowbeam cut off there should be 2 retangular boxes, at least my halogens have that.. Did u mod the projector at all? I'll post some pic tonight my beam pattern so u know what I'm referring too.

Either way wow what a difference HID's make. in that side by side photo the halogens look like drl's lol..

I believe that the cut off was only on the earlier models and was no longer used in the newer light assemblies.

The HID's look good but now you have to change the triangle corner light to a bright white LED so it looks more uniform to the HID's.

that is the stock projector, with no modifications or adjustments.

Looks good. I like the 2 caddy's side by side.
