Default Retrofitting projector beams

I'm seriously thinking about going to HID's in my truck, but I will definitely need to retrofit some projectors in there, so I don't kill other drivers with glare. Does anyone know any local places/people that can do it (757 area) or any places that I can look up on the internet?

TIA

Joe

Talk to Nachez. I know he's done that to every car that he has ever touched.

Really? I know Scott has them in his Civic and they look REALLY good. I'm just not trying to pay out the ass for everything, so I was trying to get a estimate on how much something like that costs.

Joe,
Talk to fmstatic, I've been talking to him about doing the same exact thing to my car and he knows what he's talking about. He has a friend that does it and does a VERY good job. He charges about $400 for the installation and projection lenses, then you're going to half to get your HIDs themselves. They're going to cost about $300. It's kinda pricey, but definitely an impressive mod to your truck. I can't wait to do it to my car...

I know the Acural CL and TL's (the model before the current) use HID's, but don't have projectors instead they have something that keeps the light from glaring. I bet that shit would be cheaper.

Scott had his done by HIDtech.com, IIRC. They do an excellent job and use all OEM components (audi, MB, Acura, etc)
