    Well I've taken the glass World spec headlight apart in order to to a projector retrofit. The usual 200-250 for 15min in the oven did the trick.

    I got the projectors at the junkyard for really cheap so why not try.

    Here's how the headlight looks like












    And now the question: Since i'll be using the stock H4 bulb which has low and high beams which are both one when the high beams are switched on, Do I need that metal plate inside? I'm pretty sure it's for low beams, but will it matter for high beams?

    yeah you'll want to leave the shield in. the whole dual filament goes out the window once you use a projector instead of a parabolic reflector. If you take the shield out, you will blind people.

    When I get the white GS I sprayed the gunmetal bezels gloss black. Kinda cool you could pretty much paint them any color you like for an easy paint match, contrast, or accent.

    well if we get enough people to possibly want to have clear lenses and not lose the glass we could see about gettiing them made.

    Clear lenses are only good for projectors. With regular halogen bulbs the light output is horrible.
