Default For those with 745i HID retrofits..............

I was looking into doing this conversion , but I was just wondering where you guys are getting the BMW projectors from ? And about how much can I expect to pay for them ?

because I heard that the audi retrofit requires more customization; the 745i retrofit is basically almost a direct swap-in. But how about the s2k projectors.....are alot of you guys running them ? How do you like them ?

uhm...no mater what kinda projectors you use, you will need to dremel the existing bracket on you teg, whether if its audi, bmw, s2k...well there are some projectors that are not going to fit perfectly wid your bezel, meaning some projectors might be bigger or some are smaller. but the bmw projectors requires the same amount of work then the audis

The Audi A6 projectors shown in Skafia's how-to, as well as the S2K projectors, require spacers to bring the projector forward so it will sit correctly in the stock projector bezel on the headlight lens. Unfortunately this makes the rear part of the projector with the bulb sit deep inside the rear part of the headlight housing.

BMW 7-series projectors, which are the same as Mercedes E-class bi-xenon projectors, more commonly called E55's (although all E-class models are available with bi-xenon) are a much better fit for Integra headlights than the A6's. The E-class projector's dimensions match the Integra projector dimensions almost exactly (overall length and lens diameter), so no spacers are needed. This also makes the rear part of the projector extend outside the headlight housing, just like stock. Another plus is that the E-class/7-series projectors already have mounting holes on the flange, and you don't have to do any drilling on the projector itself like you do on the A6's.
