Default My HID Retro Fit

I've got almost all the parts to start on my first ever retro fit. I've got some cool things planned for this. I'm still debating on doing a quad set up with 55W ballasts but I need to separate my spare head lights and take some measurements. So until that's done, the set is as follows:

E55 Bi-Xenon Projectors
Bosch AL Gen 2 Ballasts
Osram Bulbs
OEM Talon Headlights

Pictures:




Some of the cool things I'll be doing with this set up are:
Stutter Shutter:
(NOT MY CAR)


Using a pulse width modulator (PWM) I will be able to both boost my Bosch ballast wattage up and flash the Bi-Xenon shutters.
Basically if I need to pass someone or I cut off, they'll know I'm there

I'll also be doing LED turn signals/markers of some sort. They will also function as DRLs. Once I get the headlights apart, I can start to come up with ideas.

Enjoy!

Heat sink and fan.

I like the headlight start up delay the reverse lights might be blinding. That heatseak fan thing your doing is going to be huge where are you gonna tuck that away?

That video is not of my car, just showing the stutter shutter.

I'll be able to poke the heat sinks and ballasts out the way.
