I did a http://www.theretrofitsource.com EG6 Bi-Xenon HID projector swap. Its really not that bad at all if you buy the morimotto D2S Mini H4 Projectors. They are literally like plug and play once you remove the glass from the headlight housing.

I bought some SPEC-D headlights with black housing, removed the glass by baking the headlight to soften the seal. Then remove the hardware inside and screw in the H4 projector. I even put in some LED city lights :D

The only tricky part is to make sure you align them right, and that was also easy because these D2S projectors screw in so nicely. No gluing like many other people end up having to do for projectors such as the FXR's.

Over all project cost after shipping was about $330. I recommend it, it was money well spent!! Thses projectors are very bright!! and extend so far!

Here are some pics:

Just needed to add the shourds to cover the hardware and make it look more clean

shrouds are in this picture, not the best picture but it was all I have atm lol

these are OEM white 4300K Bulbs but since they are TSX/RDX like replicas, they have that color change when your lights flicker up and down bumps.

fit?

you also need to buy the appropriate shrouds to make the retro-fit look much cleaner, but yea that’s it for the most part. Make sure your kit comes with bi-xenon solenoid connectors to hook up the bi-xenon, and buy a quality HID kit, not some ebay garbage :thumb:

those are my lights if you take your time like mitch6 said you will have a nice set of clean lights. i chose to use the ebay 1 piece lights and ordered the full hid d2s mini morimoto set from theretrofitsource.com

OP, if your interested, I've got a set of headlights already retrofitted with a kit from theretrofitsource I would let go for $200 ($220 shipped). The headlights are used, but the hid kit is new/never used.

My headlights came from ebay, and I installed the projectors in them.

dang kingjmack thats a super good price, the retro kit alone even with a group buy code through TRS goes for more than that.
