I'm not making them with projectors... you can BUY the projector with your order, but it's up to you to retrofit and make a new housing.... His labor and parts and all that comes out to be about the price of JDM's

those look pretty not bad. can't wait to see what they look like on the car.

ss-iii splitters and 404 skirts areon. which means i need to update my sig.
so what we got here is jus clear headlights?.....
but you can purchase a projector that would need to be retrofitted into the stock housing.

Guys... I won't be retrofitting ANY projectors in these. I have no desire to, like previously stated... I already have my custom projectors AND clear lenses. This item was for absolutely no benefit for me at ALL. If someone else wants to tackle that project, then GREAT, but I really have no time to do this.

Yep, you just get clear lenses... and there's an option if you want to buy projectors also.

ok well this one is going to be a bit more tricky... I dont have an extra set of HIDS to check the light output... If anyone has suggestions please email them to me!

I really dont think blinding people will be an issue at all. With prior experience, the light has become more focused and not spread out. I will take pics though when I install it all!
i have hids, and will not use projectors so if you want me to be the tester let me know Dustin:D
So is there a set price for the lenses?
is there more then just the 10 sets in production?? if there are i wanna get in on the next buy

yeah, just keep adding your name to the list... there was a minimum of ten people to get this price... There is no maximum!
i just purchased my rebased bulbs for my HID set, so i figured out that the stock lens definately does not do much for how the light is projected except for dirt or obstructions in the light because of how its refracted. before when i had the wrong bulb base the lens didn't do much to make the light cutoff. now with the correct bulb base, sitting in the housing correctly, the light cutoff is perfect. and also adding the fact that these bulbs are rebased D2R bulbs made in germany, specially made for reflective lenses vs. projectors helps, i think; lol.

Frosted lens defines the pattern, and are made to refract some light over the horizon. HID cutoff sends almost zero lights above the horizon. Putting a HID..which output almost 3X the lumens of an halogen bulbs will send too much lights into the eyes of incoming traffic (and that doesnt help you seeing better at night too). Yes these bulbs you got are made for reflectors HID...celica doesn't use reflectors it uses a parabolic/free forming reflector to direct the light on the frosted lens to make some very very bad pattern.

efore u gearheads start tryin to say that they will throw to much light let the man test them and see plus is there anymore of a discount on a larger order the way this is going we may have enough for 20 thats double u may wanna check and see if he can give u a better deal that may draw more buyers.

Phillips D2R bulbs rebased and focused for 9006 housing with nice cutoff:

Hopefully I still get that more focused when the clear covers are on

im off as well, didnt end up looking like i thought they would. guess ill just buy the jdm highs.

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.
What did you expect them to look like? If you have an attainable goal, I will see what we can do to make it happen
they look very nice

Is there such a thing as too much light with a cut off?
I like plenty of light and a very cool projector lens...I say F..k em. He has a great offer and you can get something really special that looks good for a great price. If you are a purest..You would own Aston Martin...Not Toyota.
