awesome job!

since these are USDM projectors the beam pattern as is _/ ̄ _/ ̄ where as if you have the JDM projectors since they are RHD then the beam patternw ill be  ̄\_  ̄\_

projectors provide more light than halogeon based HID.

lol, alot of people dont believe me when i explain the whole rhd vs lhd beam patterns. they think it just throws light like a flashlight would.

sometimes i feel like the reflectors were brighter, but damn, the projectors are so wide and sharp.

you ajust the lights as you would with out the retrofit. it uses the same ajustment screws as the projector is mounted on reflector. the reflector actually moves when you are making yout ajustments.

i suggest you go with acura tl projectors. they are bi-xennon which means you have two beams, hi and low. projectors are from ebay, just look up tl bi-xennon projectors. shrouds are also from ebay. you would have to pick one to your liking and which fits best in the headlight. i suggest you also buy a set of crappy aftermarket headlights to save money... ballasts can also be found on ebay. ebay, ebay, ebay, hahaha....

parts list

-projectors
-HID ballasts
-d2s bulbs

some ebay sellers will sell the above list as a set

-shrouds
-cheap aftermarket headlights that you can cut up...

*luckily, ebay has headlights for bug eyes.... no more for peanut eyes. they even have projector "style" headlights, all you would need to do is retrofit a better projector for hid like s2k, tsx or tl......

-jb weld kwick
-dremel universal rotary tool, or similar

thats all i can think of right now...
