Best thing since the Iron-Man? Quad Bi-Xenon Projectors?

These babies just came in... and holy ****, I doubt we'll even need 2 full size projectors, these things are bright as shyt ! The cut off is soo sharp, it's not as wide as the OEM, but its just as bright. Trying to found out the deal on the projector shrouds since these projectors produce so much heat, we'll need to use the same high heat plastic that's used on OEM shrouds to prevent it from melting.

Since I promised... I stayed late to get you guys some updates.
The full size morimoto projectors are much brighter, in fact they're brighter than the factory projectors, but I'm sure with some tweaking I can make the factory projector work just as well.
The projector is pretty big, so its extremely tight and there's no room for a projector shroud. I was able to retain all the plastic on the factory housing so this modification is reversible, and requires no cutting or plastic welding. The cap to cover the bulb might be a tight fit though.
The small "matchbox" projectors fit much better, and I can actually fit a projector shroud around it. To accommodate LEDs around the projector I used a plastic bezel out of the Sedan taillight and trimmed it to fit the housing. This is only a prototype, and if there's enough interest, we would consider mass producing the shrouds in high temperature plastic. It would obviously fit and flow much better with the housing and cover any gaps or holes.
The camera died and I didn't get a chance to snap more pictures, but the projector is very bright as well, it's not as wide as the larger projectors, but the output is great. I'll try to snap some more pics.
The true brightness will be tested when I get a car to mount these on and light up the streets.
