So, do you remove and oven-bake the headlight lenses and then do dremil work to shave the openings? I just don't quite get how those things fit in the CL headlamps. If I were gonna do it, I would buy lenses from a salvage yard, and then start modding. At least then I wouldn't be out of lights, if I screwed it up. But, I have the NOKYA Arctic Whites and they look great. I did find a good plastic cleaner for removing headlamp haze.

haha, no offense, but nokya bulbs cannot even compare to a properly retrofitted HID system...

i think it is worth every penny

the one on the right is DEFINATELY a D1S for sure

make sure you ask them cause it is a D1S, the other is a D2S

so make sure you know what your getting the picture does not show a complete set of D2S just one of each 1s and 2s

just to let ya know

thats why i spent an extra 100 and bought a spare set from a shop and i dont have to be out of a full set out my car and i can still drive



the dual conversion is going REALLY REALLY SLOW but its coming along

the right one is a square end where the bulb goes into, D1S projectors the bulbs have the ignitor built inot the bulb and all, if you want a pic of the bulb i can show you, the D2S are round for the bulb area to insert and the ignitor is seperate and you push onto the bulb to light it up 2 pieces versus a 1 piece bulb for d1s

hope this helps


need more info hit me up on AOL IM @ jgiguere17, leave a message and ill get back to you im on 24/7

wait you bought those? let me know the size lens of the d1s projector. i have one valeo d1s laying around which is prob an exact match. then you have a set. all you need is d1s ballasts and bulbs.
