So 10 years ago I designed a low profile popup headlight kit using the Hella 90mm housings. Didn't have the all tools to produce them. Now I do. But times have changed and bi-xenon housings are readily available. Plus, 1 will do the job of 2 and fit A LOT neater.

Package would include a pair of FX-R bi-xenon projectors, custom powder-coated headlight structures, formed lexan shrouds, and a few other pieces to make it a quality product. Raised headlight height will be about 1/2 stock. (Sleepy eyes for you s13 owners lol)

Price will be about $350-400.

You will still need D2S bulbs and ballasts. New kits run about $70 for DDM, $160 for Morimoto, and $250 for Philips & Mitsu OEM stuff.

OR

Also been working on a design for the turn signal location. Hi Felix (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) Using the Mini projectors, LED panels for the park/turn lights, Lexan cover, housing. Hoping to get the D2S version to fit so it can use the Awesome and Almost as Awesome bulb/ballast setups. Still labor intensive enough to put the price in the $350-400 range.


LASTLY

Also brainstormed a LED replacement for the side marker. Less wart, more pimple lol. Looking to be about $100/pr if the idea pans out.

About that side marker... I took mine off so long ago I forgot they didn't blink, so it's kinda over spec'd lol. So it's currently up in the air if and how I tackle it.

smj- I'm making a set for someone and have no problem making another or 2 or 20. I ended up with a 2 piece frame so it's not that involved as originally anticipated.

Though... it sounds like you have a wire crossed on your switch. All the cars I've played with function: off >> park on >> raise hl & on. Then pushing in it's: all on >> hl off >> park off & hl down.

There is also the option of DRL. I can do the halo rings like the BMWs.

I think I'd do that with the fogs, personally.

Groovy - I'll just have to make another of those whatchacallums... "decisions" ... no problem. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Though I gotta say, this is probably not going to be the most cost effective way to get around that one %$#! headlight retaining ring screw that's rusted tight into place... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

A wire crossed on one of my cars? Something less than factory original?? That, sir, is simply unpossible! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
