Aye, you can't beat a real 100% ground up HID setup/conversion... But you've gotta be lucky to snag them HID projectors off the 'bay at a good price, lol

I know if I could, I'd snag me some S2000 projectors, and mod my current setup to fit 'em...
If it wasn't too much work, I'd throw in the light bending idea too, but... A little much, I think, lol
Edit: I just ordered me a Pilot HID kit, so we'll see how that works... Taking advantage of their major sale! lol.
H1 kit + 9006 harness is what I had to order... and there's currently a 10% off option, which pretty much covers shipping for me...

if possible, do you think you could post a pic with one normal halogen headlight and the other with the HID light? i wanna see the difference and its hard to tell on a lot of the pics on the HID sites...
i have been doing a lot of research on them and i think if i get them, i will get either 4300K or 5000K. ive been reading a lot of threads on s2000, tl, bmw, mb, and lexus sites and it seems to be a pretty universal opinion that the 4300K is actually the brightest

Yep, 4300k puts out the most light...
And I was planning on doing the whole one HID and one stock, lol.
Though, I might have to do some more core support trimming... this time on the drivers side... the HID's are longer on the wire side than H1s...
Side note: the glass base of the HID bulb is stlightly larger than a regular H1 bulb...
installing these into projectors is a PITA so far, lol.

I know, I know, bad Dennis and double posting... But how else are people gonna notice it? lol
I still gotta cut the rad support, and splice in the rubber seals for the plugs...
H1 HID's into H1 projectors are a major PITA!! lol.
Gotta do some grinding in the projector housing, and the bulb doesn't fit quite right... That could be from the cheaper E-bay projector, though...
Had to trim the bulb a bit as well...
Almost got one side ready to put in, though!
All in all... Me like!

And this is another reason it's a PITA... back of the bulb is uber long, lol.
If you're using 9006 bulbs to begin with, I don't think you'll have any issues... It'll just drop right in...

Be warned, a lot of projectors use H1 bulbs instead of 9006s, lol.
Otherwise, this would be a piece of cake!

Really dang I don't know then, maybe I will just leave mine alone. The lenses look brand new anyways and they are really bright.

There are are some projector kits for the Blazer that use the 9006s... They're just harder to find...
From what I've heard/read, usually the ones with the halo around the high-beam have the 9006 lowbeam...
Just make sure to double check that it uses that bulb, not just the wiring for it, lol.

how come this one is so blue and the pics you just posted are super white? is that uber-cool cutoff built into the bulbs or is that from the projectors?

That's usually because the housing they get put into sucks... Like on a Ford or Dodge, or most vehicles that have the High and Low beam in the same bulb...
On a 4 headlight system, generally, the problem is nowhere near as bad... On projectors it's even less of a problem, due to the cut-off.

The blue one is the HID bulb mounted in the projector, and the other one is a standard, no-name H1 bulb...
And the cut-off is from the projectors.
And here's what they look like on the road!
Top one is low beams only, bottom one is high's and lows (YAY QUADBEAM!)
