WHOA! I'm thinking I want that for my dual angel eye/dual projector setup please and thank you! Some night pics would probably help to solidify this decision...

Offer for what?

Brandon, Is there a difference in the housings between a HID and non HID? I'm sure the mounting points for the ballasts aren't there on a non HID housing but not sure...

this site will most likely be cheaper than the quote youre going to get from your dealership...

the problem with that is i get nailed about 60 bucks per light duty charge, which makes it alot cheaper for us residents to buy them and ship them to me then sell them to the next sedan in line

so i would buy the new lights for $400, send them to you, you retro them and then send them back to me, and i send you the lights i have on my car right now and you use those for the next person? does that mean that since i would be spending $400 on new lights to start the "exchange" process, that i would essentially be getting $400 off the price of my retro?

i mean that if you want to get them done before i get a set from nissan and what not. if you order them and then send them to me ill retrofit them, send them back to you. then you can always sell your stock pair to the next sedan guy, believe theres 3 or 4 in the groupbuy

oh, ill just wait for you to get a set from nissan then.....i dont want to spend $400 on new lights and then turn around and sell my used lights for less than $400 to the next person, and end up taking a loss....im stretching it spending the money im spending on my retrofit as it is...lol

oh and just as a suggestion, for those of us getting the bi-xenon setup, instead of using the wire clips to connect the high beam wires like youve been using, it might be easier to use these guys so that we dont have to cut any of the stock wiring in our cars.....just for warranty sake....and it would make these retro's true "plug and play." these came with my H11 HID kits, and it looks like theyll work with H9 plugs as well.

Great suggestion bina! That'll help out a lot for the folks who are getting the Bi-xenon setup.

This leaves one question open...

Who's next on getting thier lights done. I'm confused as hell? Brandon, shot you out a couple of emails, would appreciate it if you answered them so I know what order you're doing the lights. Don't want to be bugging you needlessly if you have system going.

thanks.....i was sitting at home last night thinking about my projectors, as i do every night, and i thought....i dont want to have to cut any stock wiring.....and then i started thinking of ways that i could work it out so i wouldnt have to, and this is what i came up with. i figure if brandon doesnt do it, i at least have 2 connectors for myself to rig it up when i get the lights. im still stuck on trying to figure out a way to get the demon eyes/parking lights plugged into the stock parking light harness without having to cut those wires.....if anyone has an ideas, throw them out there.

when i get home from work today im going to see if these connectors will in fact work with the stock connectors that plug into the H9 bulb. I just hope i can do this without having to remove the bumper or going through the wheel well....i just dont feel like doing all that work tonight just to see if these plugs work

thats awesome man....good to hear....thanks for making this so easy on us. can you maye post a pic of the inverter that youre using? and just to confirm you are able to splice the parking lights with the demon eyes so they can both plug into the parking light plug, right?

ok so i test fits these plugs on the stock H9 plug that plugs into the high beam bulb and they fit.....theyre not as snug when the plug plugs into the actual bulb, but they fit snug enough so that ill sleep at night....im sure a little electrical tape around the 2 connected plugs to hold them tight wouldnt hurt.

i cant seem to find these bad boys anywhere online.....i guess H9 male plugs are hard to come by......maybe a different male bulb connector will work just as well....9005 or 9006 connector? then again i guess any plug would work since you could just tape them together....just as long as the connections between the 2 plugs are made.

hey Bina, my buddy who is into rally racing and i asked him what you were looking for and he pointed me to where he gets his lighting stuff.

http://www.rallylights.com/hel...87193

Maybe this will do what you need to do.

yea i was checking out that site last night....they have H9 female adapters, but not male adapters....it seems as though H8 or H11 male adapters could be used as well, but i cant find those anywhere either

hey guys i think its about time i give you an update. i played around with the duals today and got them just how i like them. the fiberglass tested my patience this week as it was pretty hard to get them just right and everytime i finished them i just wasnt happy with them. so its most likely the only set like it that will be out there ever from me. i added a few things to it to make it really stand out. i finished them off with a wrinkle finish to give it a texture so it wasnt your typical cheap looking shroud thats just flat and doesnt do anything for you. theres one angel eye and one demon eye per set. also a little bit of cutting had to be done to the front of the lights on the inside. i decided to hide the low beams a little bit and sit them back inside the shrouds so there invisible from the side and i really wanted these to be different then if someone else was going to glass a set of shrouds for them. anyways how about some pics of this dual set and the dual gattling gun setup oh and did i mention theres vids
