yeah, i've gone to hell-n-back w/ this retrofitting HID crap.

the most important lesson i learned?
don't be the 1st
anyhow, had HID's since 1998. first with crappy stock headlamps, and then going to ecodes in 2001. not sure if you want to get a set of ecodes. 1) there are no used ones available, and 2) they're not like jdm's. the lens are actually frosted (more like 98-00 TL's). anyhow, a pair of them new would be ~$500-$600.
i forget who it was but someone actually got a pair. let me dig through my photo archive to see if i can find out who...
oh well. found the pic of the pattern but i didn't credit it w/ the owner's name.
