Any write up on projectors ??

I will be doing a write up on retrofitting a set of Bi-Xenon projectors in the near future! So there will be an article up with a walkthrough on how to retrofit a set of projectors into our headlight housings, as soon as I complete the retrofit!

Call me and lets talk about a parts list so we can build this writeup together ... If thats ok with you ...
I need to figure out exactly what lenses / housings I want to go with and go from there ...

I'm curious. I've been reading the threads about using the Morimoto mini H1s to retro bi-xenon into the GMT400 housing. I see that some other retro's have to cut the core support. Do you have to trim with the MM? I'm all in for a set of HIDs but I don't want to trim my core. Also, did you ever get that write up done on the conversion? Might want to post a link here if so.

Im having radio issues with my HIDs. When the lights are on and I have the radio playing it can get develop a lot of static, turn them off and radio is fine. I thought at first it was cause they were mounted to the inner fender and interfering with the antenna. So I zip tied them up and I still have the same problem. Anyone else experiencing this? Any fix ideas? Im also running an aftermarket deck fyi.

I'm gunna guess that to be a grounding issue. Whether it's a bad ground to the HID, maybe a loose connection on the ballast, or the antenna, or even the radio. A poor ground can really mess some stuff up. I would also chase the Antenna wire to make sure it hasn't rubbed anything and isn't stripped
