    I would love to hop on this buy but I have a few questions - (1) are the bulbs shielded/reflected, and do they give that "cut off" effect? Also, (2) what about projectors? I was under the impression you needed projectors to go HID without blinding everyone... and finally (I saw the question asked earlier but saw no response) - (3) will this melt the stock housing or cause any temperature related issues? (I assume these plug into our stock housings...)
    Thanks!

    No I don't... my brother has a shop out in Vegas where he lives and its his connection. I think I might build him a site though one day. Prices would be the regular price on their though. :)

    Hi there!

    Ok to answer your questions:

    1. The headlight bulbs do come with shields. However the cut off effect would only come from a projector lense. If you had aftermarket headlights with the projectors then yes it would be a clean cut off. But with our stock headlights it will be a similar pattern to what you see now but just a ton brighter and whiter.

    2. Above kind of answers this as well. Without projectors it will just have a similar beam pattern to your stock halogens. Also, in some older mercedes they had xenons in non projector housings with no problems. I run it with no problems and no flashing from oncomming traffic.

    3. They will not melt anything. I have not heard of a single case from my kits melting or causing any damage. And yes they plug directly into the stock housing.

    After looking around at other threads I inadvertantly saw that they do have the shield. Count me in! Just PM me the info so I can send the payment!

    I'd like the H4 6000K Bixenon Slim (I have an 08 Taco, I assume it uses the H4..)

    Thanks again!

    I found a chart somewhere once that showed the lumens or whatever between all the temps. I know they were not as bright but forgot how much. The 6k's are still blue when looking at the headlamp but project a more white light blue on the road which IMO is clearer to see things. Let me know what you would like to do and I will get you covered. :)

    You don't need to buy the bulbs seperate. The kit comes with all you need. :)

    Yea if your connections are the same as my bulb connections it should work. Can you PM me a picture of your bulbs connections? Also, are your ballasts 35w?

    H4 will definitely fit my 2010 Taco? The owner's manual isn't very helpful.

    Edit: I'm in as long as they'll fit. PM sent.
