I would like to see Hawks make the retro headlight with projector like BlueZee28 was talking about. I would see the projector better distributing the HID higher output of light then the simple housing.

Last question is for Hawks, Are these legal on the road? I'm not going to get a pair and see "Off roading only" stamped across them, am I?
I am looking into this for you, but I am fairly sure they are street legal.

On the retro lights, it is way too labor intensive of a project that will cost too much to reproduce at this time...but you never know.

I will get back with an answer as soon as I have one and on the pics.

Im undertaking the retro project on my own. Depending on how difficult it is and time consuming maybe I can make more sets for people that want them?

I would have bought the retro thru Hawks if they decided to do them but I do understand where they are coming from also.

Thank you for understanding. A lot goes into fabricating and reproducing items like this and other parts as well. If the demand is high enough to cover those initial upfront investments, then it could be a good business decision.....otherwise it doesn't make sense. But you never know... We done a really good job and getting some new items brought to life, and we will continue to do so.

Thanks,
Heather

We can't make a retro fit headlight that will fit the HID bulb. I am double and triple checking that these are street legal, I am willing to bet money that they are, but I want to make sure that I am not the only one willing to bet the money on it.

If anyone else wants in on these, let me know, and I will honor the group purchase price until October 31, 2012.

Thanks,
Heather

The retro fitting involves using a bulb that is made for the projector you choose to use. fyi

They ARE street legal. You might have some people that flash you their bright lights because they think you have your high beams on, but these are NOT off road only lights. Not quite sure what you mean by light pattern....look above at some of the earlier posts and you will see some pics from some other guys that have installed them plus I posted some pics as well...there isn't really a light pattern...

Thanks,
Heather
