I've been following this thread for a couple of months now. If it is plug and play and does not require a engineering degree to install (and the price is competitive ), I'm in.

This is how easy it should be--

Install wiring harness- positive to aux battlug, ground to chassis ground, mount relay box, remove top headlight covers, remove headlight assy, install new headlight assy, connect headlight harness to each new headlight module, reinstall top headlight covers, aim, install headlight bezel---done!

As soon as I have protos done, that will give me a good sense of the lead time on taking orders.

Mray, are you still doing the angle eye? How many lighting unit in one housing? I remembered you had mentioned PIAA and Bi/xenon in one housing.

Not sure...it depends on the demand.

It depends on what version you would want...halogen would be two units per side. HID/halogen would be two perside, bixenon would be one per side.

Yes thats a goal that I don't see any problem in us attaining.

I purchased the Euro Headlights and an HID kit, but sold them both to preserve the option of going with DOT approved glass lens, Bi-Xenon HID. I'll keep the PIAAs in the extreme foglight position, they serve a purpose in lighting below the normal beam spread in real fog.

Thanks, mray, for taking on something that is needed as a GM much neglected safety component. BTW, thanks also for inviting input from the CF on non pop-up headlights. Best,

Pricing? I believe I listed some estimated pricing earlier in this thread. It's subject to change since we are so early in the stage.

Protos, how soon? Well as I have mentioned several times in this thread, I am waiting for the light modules to become available. Nothing can be done until they are which should be right around the corner.
