I am leaning lots toward this retro, but man its just going to be soo expensive! I want something that no one has ever done before. Or not something that many people have. Gonna cost big bucks, and if I am going to do this I am going to do it right!

So that being said, have to save up a little more money. Get some more ideas together as far as what jeremy can do. Maybe eventually I will have a set of projectors!

Personally I'd at least use FX-R's. mini h1s don't have the distance penetration to really be great.

Cmerrit thats a crap load of output, looking good like the paint matched headlights...to me it looks like your cutoff line is a little off..slants down quite a bit...but in the lower pics turn your high beams off...that yellow halogen takes away from the hid's and makes it look like crap IMHO...HID's all the way or nothing.

Mikey I have no halogen highs. That's from a mismatched bulb.

I'm now running osram 66240 CBI bulbs.

Plus you really don't see the cutoff on the road.

Do I go with a dual projector headlight? I know its going to be big $$$, but JJ said he might be able to make something work. Again I live in alberta, and winter its pretty dark. I am thinking it might be nice to have the side ditches lit up on high beam...just a SUPER long and WIDE beam...thoughts?

Don't do that. I ran 4 projectors before. It was no good. Too bright dead in front of the truck and kills your distance vision. At least go with FX-R's from TRS. They have better throw than the minis. Trust me. I've ran all sorts of projectors.
