yeah keep us posted because I have been back and forth on getting a retrofit, mainly price holding me back but thats like half the price of what I was quoted from HID illusionz. If they are good I dont mind but if its crap stuff I will just pay the extra money to get the fx-35 projectors and nice d2s ballast and bulbs

What projectors are they putting in there? You're doing quad projector set up?

Did the prelude have FTP halogen high beams? If it was just bi-xenon projectors in there, the HIDs don't usually warm up fast enough to be really used as FTP lights.

EDIT:
I'm guessing they're going to use projectors like these: http://www.f150online.com/forums/2004-2008-f-150/420777-ncsus-hid-retrofit-headlights-7.html

Not bad, but def. not the best. But for the price, who cares :p

ok...here's what i'm getting...

"I use ApexCone & Morimoto HID Ballasts and XeBright AAV HID Bulbs. The projectors are "Bi-Xenon" V3Rs (a retro-fit version projector designed after the "Valeo" projector & much like the "Morimoto" with comparable output/cutoff to the FX > output/cutoff pics attached). The bulbs are D2H style (with AMP connectors) & everything includes a lifetime manufacturer's warranty (projectors, ballasts & bulbs). Btw, I can also retro-fit with FX-R Bi-Xenon Projectors instead (ADD $250)."
