im planning on doing a retrofit myself. i have a set of ece valeos but im thinkin to get a real set of HID projectors. you should def NOT use a integra projector since its not designed for xenon and wont give you what your looking for when using it with HID. and if your gonna go through all the trouble, you should use the right stuff. the valeo ece (from audi a4) was also designed for halogen but happens to work very well with hid. i think ide like to buy a projector made for HID but they are getting pretty expensive. the S2k projectors are supposed to be really good. nice wide beams and distance lighting. and the ls430, or sc430, forget which one, have a really wide beam and provide great light, but they are pretty big.

bixenons are projectors that have a solenoid so it can provide you with high and low beam.

the reason why europe (ece) projectors have much sharper cut offs is because the signs are lit up over there by themselves. the projectors here dont have as sharp cut off because it has to provide a little scattered light to light up signs. but since more light is focused on the road and its not scattered around, the ece provides better light, and like everything else, everything is better from a different country, hehe.

do you guys have pic of installs and stuff? and how satisfied are you with the projectors you put in? i wanna install but i just got a few questions like as to how you aligned the projector to be straight and what shrouds you used, did you ever compare it to oem hid like a s2k, etc.
