come on now.

As far as the retrofit goes..you can do it yourself, but you would probably want to be good with a dremel and tools like that. Im not sure if the TSX projectors are smaller than ours, but if so, then it may be a little work.

With the S2000 projectors, its been done before. If you search for S2000 retrofit, or something along those lines, you will find it.

I plan on doing some BMW Bi-Xenon retrofit projectors this summer, should be pretty good.

the reason I asked what he wanted to retrofit TSX parts for is for the simple fact that tsx headlight projectors are way small. Maybe good for our fog lights.... An idea has been lingering in my head of doing the Q45 gattling gun projector in a USDM headlight set... I need to do some photochops to get an idea if it will be a worth while mod...

LOL, my car silly.

Just have to wait for the BMW guy to come and tell us that we can throw the headlights away since they are broke. Nothin is wrong with the projectors or anything, but we only sell the whole headlight assembly, so if the clips, or something plastics breaks, they are useless. So Ill be getting my projectors for free..bulbs, ballast, and everything, haha.
