We understand. Once everything is worked out and we have the final product we should have some sets that will go for retail.

There was an interest for a shroudless GP so we decided to make it happen. I'd rather wait until the whole thing is done, but what you guys want will come first

Sorry I am not sure yet. I haven't checked out the way these will connect to the OEM plugs yet. Not sure if we could get the halogens to connect to those.

I know for the HID we use our wiring harness.

Michael?

Concerns regarding the shroud aside, I'm in, gonna go for the 5k's (no fogs).

If there's any other orders coming in to the bay area we can group the shipping if anyone's interested?

Is that the same high bulb as we currently use? I want to know if I can use my new HIR 9011s for the high beams.

Ah. OK. Are their bright halogens that will fit that? (Anything along the lines of as bright as the HIRs or brighter?)

I don't know much about brighter H9 bulbs, but the C6 uses them for highs. A lot of those guys use whats called HOEN bulbs.

These highs pictured here are HOEN

Default ^^^^^^^^^

That's been a big concern from the start and something Pete and I talked extensively about.
I think the best visual example of what were striving for is the photo Patches posted in the other thread of the Pagani.
The close up shot shows the clearances around individually adjustable projectors within a fixed cf bezel.
You can even see what appears to be aiming adjustment access holes in the upper-outboard edges. Not a fan of those but functionallity wise makes sense for that application.

[/QUOTE]

Our Silver Hella bezels will stick out a lot more than these but the comparison is similar enough...

That's just a Photoshop of how I envisioned the shrouds to look. Actual shrouds may differ, including the turtlenecks and their respective openings. However, as mentioned earlier, if the shrouds are made to a properly aimed set of lights, then each light will be adjustable to the shrouds. Left/right should be pretty much standard on all cars. Up/down will require minute amounts of adjustment to accommodate the height of the front end. Fore/aft adjustments are then for fitment within the turtlenecks, which is purely cosmetic. Because each light bezel is tapered, the fore/aft adjustment can be used to center the lights within the shrouds, allowing for a uniform gap in the t-necks, and equal amount of bezel protrusion.

To me it honestly hasn't seemed to be any more or less cleaning since installing them John.
Being able to see at night is more than worth the minor bug opportuniy!

Yep. Stock lights are dangerous!

I’m interested in the head lights but I have several questions.

1. Do you have any pictures with the lights on shining down the road (on a wall), so I can see how well they illuminate?
2. How do you control how high the head lights open?
3. I know you say you don’t have a date or price on the shrouds/bezels, but it looks like from previous posts that the light have been around since last July and the shrouds/bezels are not available yet (big concern). What stage of production are they in?
4. What would shipping be to 08753?

Thanks.

P.S. I love the look with the partial head light opening.
