    anybody got an OEM projector retrofit under their belt? got a 96 and debating what bi-xenon projector will fit best. I know people have had luck with infinity's fx projectors, but i was wondering if anybody has retro'd any e46's. I believe these are two of the smaller bx's projectors out there, but if anybody has any other ideas, they would be greatly appreciated

    The e46 (hella IIRC) has a less than desirable beam/cut off pattern when compared to the FX projector. I remember one guy doing an FX into a new edge, but haven't seen anything since.

    If you haven't already, get on hidplanet.com and do some searching there.

    Actually, the modded LS460 projector>S2K as far as single beams go. Wider beam pattern and just as sharp cut off line. Assuming you use the Lexus shroud of course :)

    IMO, Audi and S2K Projectors look the best in person.

    being that in live in Los Angeles i have seen them all.

    well i live in a rural area, so im fairly dependent on my hi beams, i wouldnt mind goin with a single xenon paired with a halogen hibeam, however i can only see this happening if i go with a set aftermarket halogen projector headlamps and retro from there? So does anybody know anything about the projectors coming out of the cadillacs and navigators. hella, bosch??

    IIRC I only saw one other retro into a Mustang the entire time I used to post there (but maybe more have come up since then).

    Some of the peeps there are very helpful
