HID projectors difference in supplier?
eBay has the housings for $150-$250. If I understand correctly I would need new bulbs to work in them also. I currently have HID 6000k bulbs in OEM housings. Vendors are selling them for $345 and up. So what is the difference in these units?
Just to clarify I am referring to the housings that install in the current flip up headlamp covers. Not the exposed light style.

Good to know I didn't realize you were into lighting products. So what is driving the price differences between Ebay, yours, and some other forum vendors that can get up to $500-$600?
Are yours 35w or 55w and any price breaks if I reuse my existing ballasts? Is that price with the halo option too?

Just click their forum name and find the link that takes you to their homepage. 
Or you could use this link:

All we have for lights really is these. The difference in price is just based on what people are willing to pay. There is no difference in the actual lights, just the hid supplied. Ours come with a limited lifetime warranty, so if a bulb or ballast goes bad we replace it. The price is for the entire kit, lights, ballasts and bulbs, I can't separate. This kit is $265 shipped for the 35w kit it's another $30 to upgrade to 55w. These are also the halo style.
How does the halo feature work? Parking lights on trigger the headlamps to flip up?

Thanks again. No problem that you can't separate the kit, if I decide to make this change, I can sell mine whole too. I have some expenses coming up related to new wheels I am waiting on, so maybe later this summer.

Can you tell me who makes the ballasts for your kit and whether the bulbs are true d2s HID bulbs or if they are just rebased 9005. Also, who is the manufacturer of the bulbs?

No, but some guys simply just don't hook them up.
Im not sure who the manufacturer is for the HID kits these are drop shipped for me. However they use H11 bulbs, not a 9005 or a D2 bulb. A D2 bulb is a bulb for cars that come equipped with HIDs from the factory.

If I'm not mistaken H11 bulbs are halogen aren't they? Do you have/can you provide installation instructions to see what I might be getting into?

here is a good write up with pictures. Some cars need the wiring harness and some don't, it's kinda weird.http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-g...otsa-pics.html
