Default Retrofit headlights

I want to retrofit some headlights. It seems like that is what is hot right now with headlights. I would prob use bi xenon projector headlamps that I have seen on eBay or some Audi hid projectors. My question is besides using the stock accord 96 headlight to retrofit them in. Could this be a potential candidate as well?

Yes it could just make sure you dont get a large bi-xenon projectors for those halo headlights maybe Audi TT projectors would fit. Also I think it would look cleaner in stock housings maybe black housings Its ok any way you do it. I am doing a retrofit at the moment. I'm using Hella E Code Benz E55-AMG / BMW E-65 7 Series BiXenon projectors & HELLA Chrome Bezels with HELLA Generation 4 / Philips Xenon HID kit I will post pics when I am done.

someone on the board did A4 or S2000 projectors and retrofitted them. It looked damn nice! just do a search, I'm sure you'll come up with something

I did a retrofit with those exact same projectors. DO NOT GET THE HELLA BI-XENON. They are TOO big, and you will have to enlarge the hole for the projector lense (I used a lawnmower blade sharpener and a power drill), and you will have to cut a large openingin the rear of the headlight housing. Mine was a pain in the ass to do. Also I should warn you that unless you create such a device, you will not be able to adjust your headlights ( up & down ) like you can with the OEM headlights using that adjustment screw. Your best bet if you decide to stick with those, is to use S2000 or ECE Valeo projectors. You should not have to do much butchering to your housing to get them to fit. Also be aware that if your corner lights go out, you will have to remove the bumper and the headlight to replace it, since it is a 1 piece design.
