I have a few questions for Brandon.

If the FX projectors are not used in the Bi-xenon setup, which type will be?

Is the dual setup going to be a single HID projector and a halogen projector for the high beam or dual HID projectors?

Will there be an option to color mod the projectors, for example a blue cutoff without any yellow showing?

Will there be options for different shrouds?

I doubt anyone will want to spend the money, but i have seen mini projectors without the cut-off sheild used for the turn signal. Some people with show cars might want it. I would like to see a triple projector setup on the Altima. Are you intrested in trying it out?

(Now I need to go get a 2nd job or start selling stuff on ebay)

Here's something I don't think anyone has asked yet...when you seal the lights up again, what kind of sealant do you use? Is it the same, ultra un-melty goop that Nissan uses, or is is something more pliable that will easily give way in the oven should we want to take apart our lights to further customize them?

2.5ers that don't already have HID lights will need an HID kit with bulbs ,balasts, etc, simple as that

I pretty sure he will reseal them with normal highly efficient non cement like silicone so they can be reopened more easily

As the guy who is getting work done on his car at the moment, seal that is used is the more pliable variety that will give way in the oven.

for those of you not wanting to put a deposit down until you see the demon eyes im not sure why that is. its only a minor mod that is going around the back of the projector. it will look identical to the lancer i did.

for bixenon set ups i will be using e55 mercedes as it is a very solid projector for the size and has a nice lens and a good cutoff with it.

the dual projector set up is going to be an hid low beam and a haitogen projector highbeam as you dont want an hid for the highbeam unless its a bi xenon as it takes time to get to full temperature, with a highbeam you want it bright as fast as you can get it. if you want an hid highbeam go with a bi xenon set up as its all built into one projector and it uses your factory hid bulb.

For sealing them back up i will be using black rtv silicone, so this way if i ship your lights back to you and you decide to change something its an easy to do thing and it has just as good of a seal as the nissan sealant.

if you guys have anymore questions let me know thanks

believe where waiting until the angel eyes and what not come in, as we need to raise up the projectors a little bit for spocks car due to his modifications and what not.

there is nothing wrong with waiting to see the finished product ( leds + demon eyes) before giving a 300 deposit. I personally am waiting to see it finished. How it all comes together in the end w the leds + eyes is a " deal or no deal" factor for me....

Yes indeed there is nothing wrong with that, but the longer you wait the less places there are when the pics are up, I feel there is going to be a race here lol.

Since the dual projector set up is up there on the money scale im going to be looking into fiberglassing the shrouds for these set ups as there isnt going to be to many, itll have a nice custom finish to it and hopefully body matched

not necessarily the best, but different set up. each setup has its advantages. this setup is more of a custom setup, which can be seen with the $700 price tag. alot of people that have deposits on this set up use there car in car shows or want a more custom look. so far this has been the most popular and i almost couldnt get the highbeam projectors so im glad it worked out

its just that tiny chip in the top corner, not even on the lens its on the surrond, i could even fill it with black silicone so you would never notice.

i need to get one more headlight then i have 2 extra sets and 0 down time for you guys.

so you don't have any pics of any dual projectors???...sorry to be annoying about it...just trying to get the idea and concept of what sets them apart from the rest since you said it's a custom look...

its custom becuase it has a fiberglass shroud to tie it all in together, a halogen projector for the highbeam that acts as your daytime running light when your lights are off. and you get a nice wide lowbeam projector that uses your factory hid bulb. i dont plan on doing to many of these dual projector set ups, just because the fiberglassing alone is very time consuming, and to be honest i have the most deposits for this set up so far. so ill probably put a limit on these in the group buy which adds to the unique factor aswell.
