Alright, im drooling over this right now. I've heard this rumor that someone completed quad projectors and I googled it which brought me back to this forum. I've been a little busy but Christmas is around the corner and this just jumped to the top of my list. I emailed bjorn. Waiting to hear back. Does he have a list of everything , and how long in days would this take?

Pretty sure he's gonna need your vehicle in person.. I think? Atleast that's what I've heard. If he can do it WITHOUT the vehicle in person, let me know, I'll be down for a set. Group buy? :think:

Yeah, as ScSS said is it is preferable to do it person to be sure to get a perfect alignment. Depending with which setup you go with he basically needs the truck for an entire day.

If you're not near the mid-atlantic you could always buy mine if you want. :)

I'm in north jersey. Right outside the city. I could def do a day trip out to the island if I am able to return complete late the same day.

How much are you selling yours for ? First ones with the switch backs or the ones with the mini projectors ?

Jack they are the same ones ... we added the other two little projectors in each housing last week. One to restore 'flash to pass' and the other has the led switchback in it.

There's over $2000 in those to replicate ... so I'd probably let mine go for somewhere near $1500. And it's the only known octuple retrofit. :)

wait a second... your new one, already?

If it was the old one, i might reconsider. :secret:

Meh, I'm not actively trying to sell them ... but I enjoy trying new things so if someone really wants them at a fair price, I'm always happy to start from scratch.

Yeah I have to say I'd like to stay close to stock looking so I wouldn't go for the octuples. I really am interested in the retrofit but im also thinking of smoking out the lenses. I'm just at a battle with time right now so i have to be able to complete in a day.

Congrats, the new truck you got there... it's beautiful! Are you going to do any retrofit on it?

I always wanted to ask you but keep forgot about it. My H1 starting to shift color (not the Chevy, it's other car use for years) and it's time to replace it. Wonder if there is any difference between Morimoto 3Five and XB35 in output?

Thanks

Hi Rau ...

No doubt I will eventually retrofit the Denali ... but just like the HyHoe it will probably be later in the list of mods, so I'm guessing a few months away. Plus I got to get around to listing and selling the Tahoe retrofit now sitting in my closet.

As far as the H1 bulbs I can't really answer the question because I don't even know the brand bulbs I had before the XB35s, they were the one's installed by customlightz so it's whatever they use. I will however say that I love the XB35s and they are indeed stinger than my previous ones.

Cheers!

Are you still sending these to me for the burb so that I can keep the bulbs exercised for you while you look to sell them??
