is it me or the projector looks a lot smaller than the OEM one and there is a gap around your mini H1 projector?

Same here. My dealership (trustworthy) says they should be able to get my Asphalt FR-S in by the end of this week. If so I'll be ordering these ASAP.

I hope I get the car before the end of the month. I just can't justify buying anything for it until I have it. Even if it does mean 25% savings.

I do have some questions though as I've never done any work with headlights other than direct replacements. My 2003 Evo had HIDs from the factory with the leveling control in the dash. I loved it and haven't had HIDs since.

I have some friends that just dropped in some HID bulbs in their vehicles and they no longer had high beams. If I use this kit will I still have high and low beams working as they should?

Sorry if the question has already been asked.

i'm interested in the kit as well.
I'm definitely a lighting noob, all I know is 5K is white, 6K is bluish white and 3K is that "hyper yellow" color.

I'm going to wait till I see the DIY as well. Not too thrilled about tearing up a brand new headlight. =\

It's just you. They're both 2.5" lenses.

You will still have factory high-beams and you'll also add HID high-beams since this projector is a Bi-Xenon unit.

Roughly how long to ship with just the regular shipping method?

what happen?? I am also extremely disappointed with Open Road! My sale person has been dragging it on and on and avoiding my phone calls literally. Very poor customer service. I put a deposit down in early April and they won't even give me an estimate.

To BC takes perhaps 8-10 business days with UPS Standard.

I'm really interested in this kit. I just have one question. So basically with this kit, I would need to crack the headlight housing open to install the hid projector kit. Thanks Andrew!

Correct, since it installs from the front.

Projector mounted on the bracket, which then installs into the headlight frame with the original holes and screws:
