I've been doing retrofits for about 1.5 years now. Here are some that I did a few weeks ago. I used TSX projectors w/E46 Bi-xenon shrouds

those are gorgeous! must be a pain in the ass. do you have a write-up with pictures on the process? i'm curious what materials you use for the fabrication. aligning them must be a royal pain in the ass, too. what about night-shots/in-action shots with the headlights on? thanks.

I don't have any type of write-up on these cause I just never really took the time to start one up. I was thinking about doing it one of these days. They can sometimes be a pain in the ass to make, but it just takes time and PATIENCE to complete a set, expeically with TSX projectors. I forgot to take night pics of these before shipping them out. With the next set I make, I'll be sure to take some

would it be HID for the low and highbeams, or just for the low?

It would just be for low beam, but your stock high beams are still functional. You won't even notice them much if you turned them on though, cause the HIDs over power your stock high beams

here's the retrofit I did on my prelude (Audi S4 projectors with BMW ballasts and 4100K HID bulbs)....in action shots!










All three cars have projectors HID retrofits.
