And Yet another Headlight Question

[jims2321]

Okay,

Been reading thread after thread about headlights, hid, bi-xenon, projector headlights. Now the question(s).

1. What is the correct headlight housing for HID bulb?
2. Is it better to have a bi-xenon versus single bulb?
3. Any recommendations for sources for both the replacement housings, and hid kits?

Unfortunately, there aren't any HID housings for our cars, so it will involve a retrofit. I would recommend getting this kit. The FX-R projectors are one of the few types that are small enough to fit our headlights. BMW E46 HID's are popular for retrofits for other cars, but there is no way to fit those huge things in our headlights.

Otherwise, Cougarstang (from the "other" forum) did an excellent write up on how to perform a retrofit on new edge headlights, which are dimensionally similar to ours. It can be found here.

To answer your second question, go bi-xenon, unless you don't want to have high beams.

Hope this helps!

The projector housings use a separate hi/low (no need for bixenon) so its cheaper and it turns out nicer.

I have the bixenon stangmods kit with clears on my car.
