Projector Retrofit Worklog *DONE* 56k BEWARE
I'm going mod crazy this month. here's another one to add to the list, bixenon hid projector retrofit. There's already many write-ups for this mod so I'm not gonna show the whole process of doing this. This took me 1.5 hours to make for one side, not too shabby. On to the pictures.

Shroud goes on (didn't fit at first so I had to trim it with the dremel)

Looks sweet but it looks like there is still a little glare coming out of the sides. I would put some aluminum tape on the sides and then put the shroud back on. BTW Are those e46?

And there you have it, my projector retrofit. Pretty simple. took around 8 hours for everything. Performance? love it, pot holes are spottable much farther away and I get that nice cut off line that goes up and down with the car.
Highly recommended mod, don't bother with those aftermarket kits because
1) they're illegal
2) quality is never as good as OEM
3) anything above 4100k and not made by phillips or osram has poorer output and life expectancy of bulbs/ballast shorter
4) hazard to other drivers with that obnoxious glare
5) high cost/low value
any questions, feel free to ask. All you need is a dremel and some nuts and bulbs from the home depot to attempt. I followed a powerpoint presentation done by a member. I've hosted it so people can download it as well. Enjoy
