Talking My DIY Projector HeadLight Project

I am ordering new stock headlights on thursday, so i decided to make a project out of my aftermarket projectors with halos, and retrofit some real HID projector lens and wire up a HID kit.

i am going to put the aftermarket headlights in the oven and then start working on them. im going to the junkyard soon to see if i can find any TSX headlights OR maybe even BMW headlights, if not i will have to order them. i want to change the halos to red. and seal them back up. after everything is done im going to order a HID kit with wireing harness. i think that is going to be the hardest part for me is wireing cause i really don't have that much experience.

If you guys have any ideas let me know. that would be helpful

so now all i have to do is wait till the new stock headlights come in the mail.
(ps: i am going to sell the stock headlights when i am done)

NorCal, how is your light output with H7 comparing to stock ? Did you switch to better bulbs like Silverstar or PIAA, or HID ?

what kinda projectors are you using? and you might need to trim the surrounding of the low beam part of the headlight to fit the projectors, and you might have to trim or make new holes on the bracket that the headlight used for its cheap projectors. best of luck!
here are my headlights when i had them....currently i am working on the TL's bixenon on stock headlight....so this one was my experiment =D. btw, these are the BMW E46 projectors, basically the ones on the E46 body style bimmer 3 series.

No member here sells headlights NIB for our cars unless you're referencing Evo Dave who only modifies them and doesn't stock our headlight style... You're best bet for used headlights is to wait for someone to sell their old ones....
