why dont you just give Tony a call. You've probably seen his bixenon HID projector retrofit already. And if you can, get it done quickly, stop blinding the fuck out of everyone with your HIDs in halogen reflector housings. Also take off your aftermarket HID fogs. those are fucking blinding as well.
kthxbye

There is always those USA providers for retrofit parts.
I have been eyeing http://store.theretrofitsource.com/ for my parts. Just haven't gotten around to it because I don't know if i want to DIY or just get someone (and experienced someone) to do it so I dont have any condensation problems.
Do you know a good retrofitter in Vancouver?

If you have room, you might in the EL. You can get the ls projectors it's about 160 degrees of light Quote:

I say get it from hid planet. I got a set of tsx projectors for 150, +d2s 55watt kit from ddmtuning for 100 so total was about 300cdn I got everything I needed
edit: 
this is from the "G1" projector notice the pencil beam on the bottom and the width
that's how that projector compares to others 
G1 
G3 
TL 
FX
let this help you http://www.hidplanet.com/forums/view...778&highlight=

i wanted to get the G3 but i couldn't find it so i ended up getting G1 still waiting for it to come though. the light output of the g1 looks horrible, i wanted to get 55w hids but then ppl say its just sticker or a 55w ballast with 35w bulb. =S

However you can rebase a h1 bulb for it. But on hid planet there's people who tried it. There's no difference it'll still suck. Seriously grab some tsx before I smack you hahhahahah Quote:

halo's are easy to add to ANY projector. but use CCFL halos they are the brightest, however if you want longevity get LED.
Bad thing about led halo is cheaper ones done have even light distribution
