To all those who have done Projector Retrofits

I have a couple questions. I thank all ye who read, or can help with this ahead of time. First, Formats. I want to stay with the H4, but I have heard a lot of orger's using Audi A4/S4 projectors which are H7 I believe? Should I just do this to humour myself, and ease the install some? I've also heard people using X5 projectors, which seem to be harder to find. (checking ebay everyday for projectors, have not seen many good looking donors yet.) Second, I've got the unadjustable smoked cefiros, with these, can I effectively fit a larger projector in the headlight such as an A6 maybe? I was thinking of going with uminitzas 6000K kit hes running on the deal right now. I would love to fit some angel eyes into the headlight also, but is not necessary. And the only site I know of that has the angel eyes alone to sell is HIDtech.com, and I've heard mixed feelings about this company. Some umnitza DDE's as angel eyes would be nice, but arent they a different piece all together? The demensions of the headlight do not change much, but the one piece set up does give me a little more space to work with. Thanks again guys.

Most of the oem projectors are D2S bulbs which I believe aren't like an H4 or H7. They are a very specific fitment. If you plan on doing a retrofit to your cefiros you'll be one of the first. However imaging projectors in those housing, it may not be as clean as let say aa a stock housing since more than likely the projector it self is silver and your housing is black (which if your creative can make it work).
There are many different types of projectors, so find the right size, make sure its not too big to where it won't fit into the housing. I belive my project (x5 single beam were 70mm) something like that.
As for finding projectors, go to ebay its cheap. I've seen a whole kit with projectors, bulbs, ballast for like $400ish. I bought my x5 projectors for $90 and ballast & bulbs for $250 new.
Also if you plan on going projecotrs be prepare to lose high beams unless you go with bi xenon projectors.
