If we decide to have the retro done professionally, will they do the blackout of the headlights for free?

I asked Mark on PM, but figured I'd ask here too, can we see pics of the light output of the different bulb options to get an idea of what we should pick?

blazed- The turn around time should be 2-4 weeks depending on their workload at the time.
They will not be offering painting of headlight housings.
Jesse- I'll get back to you with those pics. But, 4300k is a little bit whiter then stock halogen bulbs like Lexus HID's, 5000k is pure white like BMW's, 6000k has a hint of blue like s2000 HID's.

Here's a pic of the light output for each bulb color.

I'm picking-up a set of stock headlights from another forum member this weekend specifically for this mod. Once I send those in get them back and installed I'll have an extra set to pass around as well.

Got off the phone with Retrofit Source ordering some mini projectors for a different project. Those guys have great customer service and are super knowledgable about HID's. Got a smoking deal on their previous generation mini projectors. I mentioned our group buy going on and asked about how long the turn around is. They told me it's about a week. I am still on the fence about having them do the install. I know it would be a lot better quality than I could do and I know it would be done right, but I don't know if I can go a week without my 4Runner.

Jesse, thank you for the payment. I will update the list.
My set should be arriving sometime early next week. I will get some pics up so you can all see the quality if TRS' work. I sent in TE headlights and got the 5k kit installed. I will update the thread as soon as I receive them.
I will have my stock headlights converted and offer them as a core setup for a small fee. My stock headlights have less then 2k miles on them.

Looking forward to that Mark! 
Please post your usual high quality pics - close up of the headlights with them on during the day and at night showing the cutoff and another close up pic of the headlight with them off. Lastly if you can also shoot a short video at night showing the cutoff, that would be awesome!
I have to admit though that taking a close up shot of the headlights can't really tell my untrained eye if the quality of his workmanship is good or not. I'm hoping you can tell.
Question for you regarding this whole thing. Can you find out from Andrew what the additional cost would be to add CCFL halo in the headlights?
