projector took me 3 months because you have to want for the parts to appear on ebay, but I got all the stuff material from ebay

projector (the brand is valeo) - $50 shipped (sorry, don't know which car it came out of)

xenon headlight housing with clear lens - $95 shipped (got lucky)

stock headlight off from my car - free

McCulloch HID kit H7 (600k) $285+tax+shipping - from www.importparts.com

3" water piping from home depot for $20

hope this will get you guys a idea of how much to spend

I NEED THOSE FLIPPIN HEADLIGHTS!

Did you use the HIDplanet for the information you needed to get that headlights done? any other website/book/article/etc you use to figure out how to make the projector headlights?
thanx for the tips

actually, when i start i didn't even know there is a place call hidplanet what I did was on my own, they said stay away from aftermarket hid kit but i think you can start by buying a set of the following

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/OEM-V...60337772QQrdZ1

or

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-E...60480078QQrdZ1

just search on ebay, they cost about $400 for the whole set includes projecter, bulbs, ignitor, ballast, it is even cheaper then getting aftermarket hid kit and you can even make it bixenon with those package on ebay

If you like thick crust, yeah it's good 'za. I like extra thin and crispy. Good place in uptown called Pizza D.O.C. where they prepare it just like in Italy.
