Need advice for headlight conversion!!!!
I want to retro-fit a Bi Xenon Hella HID Projectors from a bmw into my car. i found these on ebay and havent bought them yet cause i am not sure what i should do. the projectors come with the hid bulbs and ballast's. How difficult is it, once i get these parts, to install the actual hid conversion part. Am i going to get myself into a big mess or is it somthing i can figure. i think i have the whole retro fitting part down but its the wireing that i dont know if i can handle......would these paticular projetors be a bad choice i belive they are off of an m3 or an m5?
thanks!!!
oh yeah is 370 a good price, or could i find a better deal elsewhere. comes with projetors ballast's and bulbs..

Is this your first time to try to do retro? If so, it is hard but not that hard once you have the knowlege. My advice, buy a back up set of headlights to work on those while still driving your car. If you mess it up, hey it is just a back up set. I finished mine recently, here is mine not that good. I was in hurry and did not put shrouds around the projectors. There was a post here before of couple 97+ prelude with projectors, I couldn't find it anymore.

I agree. I bought JDM housings while I was still driving with my old ones.

I 'm running D2S HID from E46 M3. Probably it will be hard for you to find a used set of headlights, and even you find one, it will be pricey. I bought one on ebay for $350 total.
