I actually have 4 full sets of hids

2 sets of oem hhr headlamps
8 ballasts all oem or genuine hella 3
8 d2s bulbs 35watt 4300k
8 sets of wires
10 projectors--- 6 solenoid actuated bixenons and 4 low beam only
And about as much info packed into my little skull as i have about fuel mileage.

I have not driven my SS in almost 2 weeks and the bumper cover is still off and inside the hatch.

i don't want to break the forum rules, (please edit this post if i do) but I plan to sell them to forum users once i get them fitted, sealed, the cutoff and beam pattern lined up.

I didn't want to talk about it yet because I don't like to make promises that I don't keep. I have a 1 year old and am closing on a house in the next 30 days, so this has taken a back burner.

As soon as i can get all 4 done and "saleable", ill let you know (approx 30-45 days)

BTW I plan to also offer any color choice for inside the lamp (projector negates the need for chrome) and othor led options. (approx 60-90 days).

I am not looking for employment, (could never make enough on these to justify over my day job...) so i'll keep the prices down to where you would be crazy (or bored) to take the effort yourself. I spent way too much time getting good at this....and that is to your advantage.

boy, put me as an interested party for the bi-xenon, black inside the housing. just saying...lol. PM me with more details, if you don't mind. this is something i've thought A LOT about wanting to do it, but my lack of fab skills and money is what is stopping me currently. also, i'd greatly appreciate any kind of ballpark idea on price...if you have any idea that is.

Okay cool.
Let me finish up the first set (soon i promise),
Then I'll put up the options I can offer.
I'll price according to the desired options.

A hint at pricing though, full USED sets of oem hid equipment run minimum $250-$300ish, NEW equipment $450+. The kicker is if you want me to send you new headlamps with the installed "plug and play" equipment, or send me your headlamps and return them to you in a timely fashion. I of course will add a labor cost.

As soon as I get my set installed and tested, Ill start a new thread and have anyone interested pm from there. Thanks
