Heck, that is a whole year away. And here I thought you were coming out with something exciting soon. Forget it, I ain't going to wait a year for something that hasn't even been thought out yet! I don't even buy green bananas at my age!

Just a quick update-

I met with my MFR to discuss the design and engineering of the pop-up projector halogen/HID kit. We also discussed the non pup/fixed units and by next week I will have an estimate to build and engineer these for a prototype build before year end. FYI, The pop design would be based on exposed projectors with a custom bezel available in matching body color, and other assorted colors.

I will only be updated this post and the other post I started in the Tech section from here forward. Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions.

You know Jack...I don't think I'll shoot myself in the foot. I would like to have something tomorrow but realistically I don't have a date at this point. Price? don't know....pricing hasn't been released yet on the modules so I can't quote an "out-the-door" price yet.

Where should an all halogen kit, and an hid low beam-halogen hi beam kit be priced? Low beams are projectors, hi beams are reflectors.

I am looking forward to your progress on this HID project
