Even though it's been done a billion times, I absolutely love the look of a red base with blacked out trimmings. This thread will serve as my log for exterior modifications that complete the overall "look" I'm going for.
I've been waiting for someone to come up with a solid projector housing so that I can properly install HIDs on my car without blinding people on the road with stray light. No offense to anyone that has them, but the ones on eBay all seemed rather cheap and/or overdone with halos, LEDs, etc. that really serve no purpose. Enter Blackbird Lighting Solutions and their modified DEPO housings with bi-xenon projectors:

The fit and finish of these lights are PERFECT. Absolutely no problems with them going in. My DDM Tuning HID kit with 4500k H1 bulbs I purchased a while back fit just fine and wired up very quickly. I thought the whole thing was going to take significantly longer to wire up, which is why this stuff wasn't on for the Dyno session this past weekend. Also for those that don't know, bi-xenon projectors have a solenoid actuated low beam shield that can be lifted out of the way when you hit the high beams. A very nifty invention that works quite well (my Volvo has them stock too).
Lights on:

Finally, an Instagram picture of the light output which is completely out of whack thanks to the hipsterish filter I used:

In reality, there's a really nice cut line being produced by them. I will get better pictures next week with my SLR camera when I get the car off the lift again. I'm currently waiting on some catalytic converters to come in before I pull the car out of the garage. I'm just happy that I can now feel comfortable driving my car during the night AND I'm not putting lives at risk with stray light. That alone justifies the purchase of the lights to me.
