It's against the rules to post a link to a non-forum vendor. Just search the auction site for "corvette projector".

And it would of been just as easy for you to post the link instead of the Search comment. I just don't get people that have nothing constructive to add to a post just to get their 2 Cents in

TheRadioFlyer thanks for the PM

WHy do you have to bold your posts, do you think it will make us take you more seriously? I mean honestly, how hard is it to go to the site and do a search. I'm sure you'll expect these lights for free and then for someone to install them for you.

Using the stock wiring I can still use the "flash to pass" high beams.It all looks great and I can actually see the road at night. I couldn't be happier with the ACAs and the price was right!

OK, here's where I'm confused... There's H9 bulbs that're Halogen, I understand, but also H9 HID bulbs? Or are they HID bulbs that fit the same socket? So, you don't need ballasts if the bulbs are halogen? The ebay ACA style, for us "cheapskates" comes with halogen low beams? I read lots of other posts regarding using HID high beams, and I understand that they're probably not a great idea, for glare reasons.

^ They come with H9 halogen bulbs if you want to get hid's when you order a kit order the H9 Hid bulb. He already had the hid ballast he just needed bulbs. You will need the whole kit. Look for ebay seller hid_xenonwarehouse1818. It's $44 bucks for hid's shipped from Cali and a 2 year warranty.So for about $275 you can get ACA projectors and hid's.

I am about to pull the trigger on a set of the auction site $300 ACAs that include the hid kit. For those of you who have already purchased and installed this kit, did you have any problems with it? Also, did you find the installation to be pretty much a plug and play operation? I am also curious if this kit causes any issues with the proper opening and closing of the headlights.

Thanks for your feedback
