oh...by no means am I debating that. These are by far better quality than the LED ones on a BMW. But since they were not originally designed for our cars, does that make it rice?
I'm interested, but wanted to know if I'm going to get flamed a couple months down the road.

As for price, I will tell you the same thing I told the Sedan guys the more people that get on the first run the cheaper.
25 first run- $269 per unit
50 first run- $225 per unit
100 first run- $199 per unit
I need a light before I can produce the kit though
If I can get a "loaner" light or if someone here in Atlanta can come by and let me take some precise measurements so my moldmaker can make a 3D CAD diagram it would just take a day or so.

Who cares...do what you like and what you want regardless...this isn't rice man. Rice is replacing headlight bulbs with 25 dollar xenon immitations or rebadging to what YOU don't have. This is called an accessory, with taste might I add, which is WHY its out of the rice realm.

With the High beam and HIDs (6000K HIDs) the rings are still very visable. Its hard to get an accurate picture but they are still visable.

I'd be totaly down for it, but thats a little too much money to spend right now. I have a "shopping" list of mods that take priority over this mod. I dont think I'd be far enough down my shoppng list for at least another two months.
