Nice conversion, planning on doing a tri-projector conversion on my coupe some time soon.
Just wanted to say that you don't need to cut any factory wiring to do "sleepy eyes" for the pop-up headlights. I wired my headlights to 3 switches to control the "sleepy eyes" and retain full fuction of the headlamp retractor switch and the headlamp light switch.

PASSWORD: JDM hooked it up with the conversion set.
here is what i think so far:
Good:
1. Lose 20 lbs because of the japanese bumper support.
2. Looks nicer than popups (in my opinion)
3. Projectors far better than the popups
4. Not that hard to do yourself
5. The "omg its a silvia!" effect after
6. Being different (especially if you're a coupe, none of that initial d sileighty crap)
7. You can call it a silvia now (well..not really...maybe a 'siltwenty')
Bad:
1. Bulbs dont exist in America... H3C whaaa?
2. Expensive bulbs online...raybrig seems to be only maker from what i found so far
3. Hard to change bulbs, might require removing headlight to do it due to the crappy clearance unless you have small hands.
4. Too much unwanted attention (these dam STi keep scaring me, dam their turbo!)
5. Conversion kits are now $$$ 900+
6. The DC2 idenity crisis
7. Causes owner to want to spend more (i want new rims now argggh)
8. Doesn't feel to safe to know that you have this tiny bumper support and 4 bolts protecting you incase of an accident.
