It's nice knowing people will be able to get OEM drop-in HID housings, as an alternative to some of the HORRIBLE aftermarket lights currently on the market. Good stuff.

Duacti's lights are INCREDIBLE!

Some things to look for is ...

... will it have a clear lens ? If its frosted or fresnel the cutoff will not be as sharp as a clear lens.

... will the shroud look good, will the rest of the reflector be chrome or painted, led's ?

... projector output is different for every projector, some are wider, some throw farther, some have a better distribution of light, it goes on and on. Unfortunately most US vehicles with projectors dont have that great of performance compared to European and aftermarket. Heres some great output comparison pics for stock and aftermarket projectors - HiDplanet : The Official Automotive Lighting Forum - Bi-Xenon Output Comparison: TL, E55, Murano, FX, IS, e46,LR3 the projector I use is the Mini H1

... if they are halogen projectors I can hook guys up with a harness, ballast and bulbs for a very simple and inexpensive HID conversion.

My headlight distributor is going to hook me up with a set as soon as they become available. Im really curious to see how they are made too.

I'm not feeling these projectors as much as I thought I would so I'll be giving my dealer the final yes to order my raptor today! I would much rather doing a bad ass retrofit like I have with my Harley truck using OEM Lightning headlites.
Tanks for the update! Keep em coming

You know that is what is so misleading about projector lights, people just seem to think they are done to look cool. The whole reason that I had mine done in the first place is that the OEM headlights on these trucks suck! They are not bright enough for me I will never go back to OEM lights I can see everything and have never had anyone flash me, the fact that they can be customized to look cool is just the icing on the cake

Wow. Looks like you need to try to retro fit the Infiniti FX or the LR3 projectors! Very bright clean even cut.
