How much for projectors???

keep in mind that it's 150 for projector assemblies, another 300 or so for the HID system if you don't want to use your current setup, or at least 100-150 for new D2S bulbs to use in your housings. If you want to do uppers and lowers, double this cost. I figured about 800 in parts not counting headlight assemblies ought to do it. Then you'll need someone to glue it all up. I suggest you wait along with the rest of us. There needs to be a group buy, we should easily be able to collect at least 500 of us on this one!

Here's the prices I've calculated:
New ECE E46 projectors are now $99 at hidplanet
The bezels are $28, although if you want the E46 bezels, those are harder to come by, and people on ebay sell them for close to $100
You can use your D2R bulbs, if you're careful, you can scratch off the black shielding, cut a new notch, and effectively convert them to D2S.
If you have a G35 coupe, it already comes with HIDs, so just use the factory ballasts. They are designed to bolt onto the headlight assembly in a waterproof fashion.
Buy some extra Nissan factory sealant, $12 at performancenissan.
Buy some 4mm bolts, maybe $5 at mcmaster.com
So you're looking at about $150 total.
If you do this yourself, it's only $150 and an afternoon of your time. I've already posted a rough DIY guide in the lighting forum. Seriously, that's the most cost-effective and fun way to do this.
Or you can PM someone here who has done it. Do a search, and you'll find about 3-4 members here who have done retrofits on G35s.
Or you can post a WTB retrofit thread on hidforum.com, where the entire forum is a bunch of retrofitters.

Sounds a decent price for parts. installation sounds time consuming though
