haha...i figured as much, that'd be too easy. So the US model that's coming out would fit you're saying, just doesn't look as good? or also wouldn't fit?

You guys don't understand the kind of labor it takes to make a set like that. I did a set with BMW E55s that i used in the stock housing, and it took me like 45 hours to fab them. I can't imagine how long it takes to make a set that wasn't even in the stock housing....

Although I would love to give it a shot.

Hehe , yeah it was about that . This was my first set , so I was feeling out what kind of materials to use . I made several time consuming mistakes off the bat . Since its not a learning curve anymore , I'm could do it alot faster next time . I building a retro for someone right now based off the stock design with a few minor changes , should only take about 3 weeks tops .

Switt23- The E55's are awesome , how do you like em ? Are you running the gen4 hella ballast's too ?

Silver, I am running a set of slim ALs. My bulbs are 5200k range but seem bluer than they really are. Light output is amazing though!

I would love to make another set, because I think the hard part is done. I have done the research, I know what I am doing, and how to do it now. I have alligned one set already so that's not a problem. The only thing I did wrong the first time is I flipped the High-beams wiring. So the high-beams were on when the switch was not, and when the switch was slipped they were off.
