it seems like he does really great work.

you went with a 55w? what bulbs and ballasts are you using?

and a big thumbs up for not being a PnP user!

no pics of output yet.....I am the first one GE. I bought the car two weeks ago and haven't drove it yet because I took the headlights off. Other then refotting his full time job is photography, but he will make time when he is available. Shoot him a PM. It looks very clean, I was concerned if it fog up but he guaranteed me that if it does he will fix. I was good with that =)

junkie, i'm working on a mini H1 projector right now. i'm going to compare that with my current mini D2S setup and will keep the one i like more. i'm sure i'll be looking to sell the setup i don't keep. it'll probably be about a month until i know for sure which one i'm keeping.
