Default HID projector retrofit

Hi, all

Have anyone of you have done retro-fit HID projector project???

I was wondering if i could use the projector from hyundai cars or BMW??
Is hyundai projector HID compatible???
If it doesn;t make a different then i would buy some hyundai projector instead of BMW projector, because hyundai projector is much cheaper.

I plan to retro-fit a projector in my accord for HID use with TYC.

Thanks for any advice related. Thanks in advance.

I was planning on doing a retrofit myself but it is so damn expensive. Your planning to do this yourself? If so, good luck and keep us updated

You could install HID's on almost every type of projectors but its just that you wont get the best output. Retrofitting has very high quality output that looks amazing

Check out the Hidplanet.com forum, you'll get more info there. S2000 projector is considered to be one of the best those could be bought for 250-300bucks. Mine is being done right now with an Audi S6 projector, it is bixenon so it is very big and hard to fit into a 6th gen accord.
