    So I already have HIDs installed in my car and want to do a retrofit this summer. I've been reading up on it a lot and feel like I have a pretty good understanding but want to make sure I won't be missing anything when I order. I'm going to order just the projector to save some money. All I'll have to buy is the projector, shroud and bulbs right? Since I already have hids I won't be missing any crucial pieces?

    I suggest extra housings if you don't have them.

    Also:
    -OCI Butyl sealant
    -Epoxy
    -Dremel (if you don't have one)

    Great thanks. I picked up a dremel not too long ago figuring I'd be doing this soon. I'll make sure to get the other stuff as well.

    Matt what is this motcontrol? Will the high beams not work without it and if I order just the just the projectors do they not come with it?

    You need Bi-xenon projectors to retain a High beam. Because the GP Lights are a single High/Low beam, you need the Motocontrol harness to make the high beams work.

    so a full parts list.

    Projectors
    Shrouds
    Bulbs to fit the specific projector
    Motocontrol harness
    Buytl sealant
    JB weld
    Dremel.
    Time.
    Paitence.
