Saw these pics on another forum and thought it would be an interesting share here.

I know who used that guy to retrofit a set in his LS. He's had pretty good luck with it since installing them. They still look too cyborgish to me but to each his own.

you can certainly get an education from that site. I havent personally seen how well the projector kits work but the look nice. I think the CCFL makes for a nice aesthetic mod.

found this link from searching the hidplanet website.

90 bux isnt a bad cost for an experiment that you might end up wanting to keep. The projects may not work out well and the cost seems a bit too high of a cost to pay if you end up loosing night time visibility.

The best way to do this is (if you have the grey glue, sorry for ya'll who have the black).. Just get the CCFL kits (rings, tabs, inverters, etc.) off ebay for the E36 or E46, and just put them in yourself.. W/ some simple wire splicing.. You got CCFL angel eyes. That's next on my list. Plus since they range from $50-$70, that's great buy.. That pic of the projector is NICE!!!!!!!!! I'd would have put a CCFL ring in the high beam... Can't wait till I have some $$$$..

Hey guys, those are my headlights. So far so good on the install. They were done by a guy named Richard in VA. The setup is e55 ece bixenon's with hella gen 3 ballasts. I used oem 4100K bulbs and I get the nice purplish beemer look.
