Could you use a H4 twin beam harness to keep from cutting the headlight harness and H4 to H1 adopters?

Nice work! After having two Bimmers with HID's I will never have anything else. I think I know what my next upgrade will be!

just thought about trying to do this. i noticed the links are not showing products anymore. i found versions that look similar but seem different. could someone post updated links on what i would need?

especially the halogen housings. cant seem to find any for under 30.

Wow you have a lot of patience for something like this. I've been contemplating in doing something like this but lack of time it's just stays on the "To Do List"

I have a good idea you should build a few and sell a few make some pocket money I would want 2 and maybe a few others here would want as well

Not sure if we use standard 7" lights but these might work

They're 7" standard, but those may be too deep to fit in the pop-up housings.

These are quite a bit more expensive, but look like they'll fit our pop-up housings, and you get LED lighting.

I think you are right about that HID retrofit. 5.9" from the mount to the back of the light...
