Interested in seeing how they turn out, I have jdm headlights just collecting dust that I want to retrofit. I'll pm you some questions I have.

PM Answered.
He states he has a good 10-15 orders ahead of mine so I'll be waiting at least a month but I'm not really concerned. It's either sitting in my closet or sitting in his, waiting to be next. LOL.

CHANGE IN PLANS

No longer will they be S2000 Projectors.

They are now going to be a hybrid projector (Projector is off a Infiniti FX35, Lens will be off of a TSX). Reason: Will provide me w/ low and high beam in the same bulb :

Examples:

Hi/Low Function of projector...

low

high

This is what I will be doing as well.
I may change my mind in the end.
It may not look right so I may stick w/ chrome.
I'll ask the expert when he starts on it.

After speaking w/ Fut, I will NOT be doing the darkened out bezels.
It just aint worth it, famz.

Cuz it will ultimately look like ass.

Why would it look like ass? I would bake the headlight and open it, sand the inside background. Spray some black heat resistant paint over the chrome, assemble it back up then install the projector...that would look sick.. I would think you wouldn't need the chrome to reflect light since the projector will shoot the light strait out...correct me if im wrong.

depends on the color of the car... black headlights on white car ftw.!

I will hopefully be doing this in the next year or so. I found a nifty site that, if you DIY, can make this affordable!
