i don't really have $200 to spare on some projectors so will these work? can i still follow the same walkthrough you guys made up? lmk. thanks for your patience!

 

Those are fog lights.
which gives width and no distance.
you won't be able to see anything ahead of you with this foglight projectors.
All it will do is light up the foreground.

If you don't have an extra 200 for projectors then don't do it at all.
You gotta pay to play

 

o i see. ok then what projector do you guys recommend??

BMW M3 (E46) Bi-Xenon projectors

are these easy to put into my stock housing? i saw them and they're not too expensive.

this car has them and looks hella good! (magazine has a better view of them)

 

Get the TSX or FX35.

x2, but if you go tsx (or any other single xenon) make sure you still have something for high-beams.

 

single xenon means i can only have one beam? hi or lo?

bi-xenon means i can have both on one bulb? hi and lo?

single xenon is low-only, but you can take it apart and remove (or mod) the shield to use it for high beams

bi-xenon has a solenoid that moves the shield to give you high and low in one projector.
