ebay projector/retrofit

Good morning gentlemen (its 2AM where I am)

Before I get started, let me say, I've tried searching, but due to where I am I can't load half of the pages on the forum due to it being blocked. (I am in Afghanistan on deployment). I am trying to get everything I need already waiting for me when I get back early next year.

I have bought a set of ebay projectors from a org member and I want to do the projector/retrofit but I haven't the slightest clue what projectors I need to buy, what bulbs, or what any of the terminology is. Can anyone point in the right direction with what projectors work best for the retrofit and what bulbs I would need.

Thank you in advance,

LCpl Hall, Zachary

If you already have the ebay projectors then these kits have everything else that you need.

E55's or TSX's would be nice to swap in there. If you do go ahead with the swap I'll buy the old projectors off you.

Use them as high beams for my retro. Right now I only have low beams. If he doesn't sell em to me I'll pick up some cheap little H3 projectors.

I wonder if anyone has tried the TRS FX-R projectors in the ebay lights. I use those projectors in the retro I did on my wife's SE-R, and I love them (especially with the 55w kit).
