Projection headlights
I am looking to keep my pop up lights but upgrade the lens and bulbs to the projection style. Does anybody know where I could get these lenses or bulbs? I have looked at other projection lights, the non-pop up style, but I think I want to keep my pop ups, I just don't like the stock lamps. Thanks for any help you can give me...

I had ACA HIDs on my C5 and I loved them for the little time I had those on my car before it got sold. Before that I had Specter Werks C5Rs with 6k HIDs and I really liked them too but got bored and went back to pop ups.

Dumb question on the Light Canons. What happens if they get wet? These lights get pretty hot right? What will happen to the lenses in the rain without a protective plastic cover? Or are the bulbs themselves sealed from the elements enough so that this isn't an issue?

I'm 99.9% sure they are sealed units and from what i've read in other threads, the hella modules are made to withstand getting hit with decent sized objects

These all look like great options. Anyone know whether the ACA legal/copyright dispute was ever resolved? I know Giantlight was also selling a similar setup out of Asia.
