You just can't find them per se. You or somebody has to physically do the conversion. Send Prelude1897 a pm with your questions. His post is right above yours.

I only charge $250+shipping back for labor which I think is a pretty fair price compared to most people. Since you have the E46 single xenon projectors, your lights will be fully adjustable

can tsx projectors be adjustable? how is adjustablity of tsx campare to e46? I just love tsx projectors, but I'm only concern with adjustablity after installing the headlights back on.

The last retrofit I did was with TSX projectors, and I was able to make them adjustable

being able to adjust them up/down/left/right....I don't know if you'll be able to do that with the TL projectors, I know you'll able to do it with the TSX projectors though. The TL's are a little more difficult to work with, so I don't think anyone has even used them yet....I bet someone will one of these days

would I still be able to retain high beams using tsx projectors with the 4th gen jdm headlights? Just thinking because the high beams come from a separate housing unlike the 5th gens
