Good luck with the retro. It is a lot of work and time that goes into a good retro. I have probably 20-30 hrs of work into mine. Let me say two things...
1. Log onto hidplanet.com (read, become a member, and most of all learn how everything works)

2. DO NOT and I cannot express the amount of importance of not doing this. But please do not use any bulbs higher than 6K in your beautiful projectors! You are gainning nothing and really you will lose brightness going any brighter than that.

Those two things and you will have a GREAT retro. I am getting pretty close to the end of my quad retro as well. I am in the lets make things pretty stages and hopefully I'll be lets get everything dialed in and ready to seal everything up. Which I fired up one side of my quads up and it was brighter with one side compared to both of my halogens.

Good luck and if you ever have any questions you can pm me or ask in my thread
