Or you could just camber them in a shtitload. Draginzuzu's are like that and his looks nuts. Besides the tire wear..

they were like $230 shipped i think. on a non starion forum they would have gone for that for just the rear pair probably. unfortunately they are a tad beat up, but they cleaned up very well with aircraft stripper. i still need to paint them, probably just silver centers. car is due for a new coat of paint in a few weeks, i havent decided on color

yes they are hella optilux 1182 projectors, they have yellow coated bowls and are perfect for poor visibility conditions, i made a custom abs bezel to fill in the unsightly gap between the lamps and bumper. I rely on them in foul weather because i have hid retroftted low beams. I would not reccomend using these projectors with hid, because of their compact size and since they are designed for halogen bulbs the beam pattern and intensity will not be up to full potential. if you really want hid projector driving lamps i would reccomend using blazer* brand fog lamps as they accomodate hid burners very well. there are numerous threads on www.hidplanet.com/forums on these particular units. here are some other pictures as you requested:
