Post pics when you get a chance. We both have Valeos, and these are some of the most colorful projectors when you mod them.

Here's mine. There's actually more color in real life if you can believe that.

you would seriously choose those projectors over a RETROFIT???? apparently someone here does not know the beauty, work, and time that is put into making a retrofit...

right now those are 4300k d2s, they are brand new so they havent color shifted yet. im a little sad that i couldnt get the driver side to have as much color as the passenger side but oh well. i dont feel like taking everything apart to work with the shield again. i might though.

the 04-05 projectors don't work that well with HIDs.. but you guys use the Valeos that come off of them.. i dont get it...was it just the housing that sucks and not the lens?

ahhhhh.. confused.

so anyways, how much did it all cost you???
