Good question. I will ask. I know the Xenon bulbs can be bought from me and probably will be supplied by me to keep the cost down. The projector housing is what I will ask about.

I need someone to test these for me with full documentation. My other two backed out. The price will be $900 shipped for the test set w/out Xenon (I can get you some) and he accepts paypal. Send me a PM if interested.

I hope I can keep them down to this price when buying bulk. I would like them to get lower, but doubt it when adding HID kits to them.

Send me a PM if interested in the test set.

we found a lot of things about the German system that we could improve on. We've offered two shroudless runs so far, but expect the full set with shrouds to finally be offered soon.

Check out this thread http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-g...hread-3-a.html

We expect to offer them complete with shrouds around the first of the year

Why would anyone deface the front of their car with those lights, it looks like a sad puppy with the lights up. gmho.

This is what our system looks like without shrouds. #1 thing here is they function for the purpose intended. They provide superior lighting over the OEM system with a unique touch of style.

OEM headlights aren't the most attractive these days. They're dated.
