I'm a half-decent mechanic and do all of my own maintanence - could I open the headlights and do this retrofit myself? Are sufficient instructions provided for the novice?

Thanks in advance.

as long as you can adjust the beam height like OEM, I will take a set.

Please PM me for my email, then send me a paypal payment request.

I want one too... (hmmm opening the headlights without breaking them is alittle daunting though...).

I've got the same question... on headlight adjustment... Would there be a way to adjust the xenon projection bulb so that it is within range of the normal headlight adjustment... I would presume that while installing the xenon projection thing, it'll be difficult to determine what is straight.

As for shipping, I'm in Singapore, how's the shipping cost like ?

high beams

Just curious how the high beams work. BI-xenon makes it sound like it has the low and high beam, but you would either need two bulbs per lamp housing (your info only indicates one bulb per housing) or a way to change to focal distance within the projector or a way to tilt the projector when the high beams are selected. For $275, the last two sound unlikely.

Also, does the low beam have the cut-off beam pattern?

I guess I missed the group buy, but you could PM me with your regular price.

Question about Bi-Xenon

Madmods, great deal you've got going on, i just have a few questions before i jump in

first, how does the projector actually attach to the headlight? does it have an adapter plate? or do you have to screw/tape/glue it into place?

also, how does the fluted plastic inner lens come out (the one that gets browned)?

Also, how does the high-beam work? is it the stock halogen h7 bulb? or were you able to rig it up with the bi-xenon solenoid in the projectors that moves the shields?

Lastly, if you don't mind me asking, what kind of projectors are those?

How's was it ? I've not been back home yet, been out of the country with my boxster. Haven't had a chance to see the kit yet.
