I'm not selling the black ones, but I can make a set for anyone who wants them. I can do the black-out too, that's no biggie. The housings are $108 per pair from ebay, and whatever it costs in projectors... I can do the work PM for a quote. I need to know:

1. do you have housings
2. do you have an HID kit already
3. what you want it to look like (be specific)

The cost varies a lot. OEM housings are a PITA, and take a lot longer so aftermarket housings are a lot less labor intensive.

Since I don't currently have HID's all would need to do is pick up a set of ballest right? What kind of bulbs do you have running in it? 35 or 55 watt? I think I saw 35 in a previous post?

one final question, what powers the projectors high low function? I see you had to run a couple wires through the back of the headlight, what do they connect to?

Only use 35w in the Mini projectors, 50w+ will damage them.

They were too much work, won't be selling.

However, TRS is coming out with the new Mori matchbox projectors later this month that are plug/play in the fogs and are only $85 per pair!!

i've had my share of retrofits. if anything, i would do the fxr to my heads and use these in my fogs. but for now im content. i've done my deed to stop PnP kits in headlights, but i will be running 3000k hids in my fogs since i will only use them when they are needed since i cannot stand having projector headlights and reflector fogs. just does not match at all, and being rectangular it makes it even worse. lol but i bet yours look killer with four projectors coming at you in night. ever consider 5k switchback turn signals??

Yes but the switchbacks glare more than the projectors, so with switchbacks, and 4 projectors it will look like I have 6 headlights....pulled over immediately by the 5.0.
