Actually, those are retrofitted..you buy the projector units from hidtech.com for about $115USD and fit them yourself. Yes, they even work on difused headlights (look at the Camry in PROJECTS)

how these work is, you make the bulb hole bigger from the back and insert these projectors. You then put your regular halogen bulbs or HID into the projector units.
Where was I? Worrying about my own custom stuff...hehehehe

I just looked at the hidtech site and read some of their stuff, and I'm confused. I'm assuming you just mean buying one of the projector lenses that they have listed on the retrofit page, but once you've gotten them, then what? Can you just use the stock bulbs behind it and have it come out right? And how do you account for high/low beams? I mean, I know it would get brighter when you turn the highs on, but they describe a whole shield setup to cut off the top part, and you wouldn't have that. Would the light project everywhere, just brighter or dimmer depending on the setting?

theres alot more to it than that, you have to buy good hid bulbs, ballasts, worry about the placement of the cuttoff shields, getting everything in the proper position. you also have to address the issue of the diffracted lens, whether you sand it down smooth or get clears. My roomate got his donor projectors from an s4 and was working on a spare housing for some time but funds just became limited. Theres alot of information to be learned if you want it done right check this site out http://www.network54.com/Hide/Forum/21646095 ES
