subscribing so i can get you some pics of what i've got in the works

find the smallest projector units you can, it will make things SOO much easier

i'm using '03 M3 projectors. also for a sedan

so far i've gotten lots of ideas from hidplanet.com forums

With some custom work, you can make any HID kit fit np.
Your easiest solution is just buy a 9006 kit for like $300 and call it a day, you wouldn't even have to do wiring.

^ i can get you new xenon hid kit for $170 brand new not stolen with receipts,all kinds of car,all kinds of colors located in north jersey.pm me if you're interested

but to help you out we do hid conversions on cars all the time,what i reccomend is that you go on ebay and look for some apc 1st gen glass projector headlamps there only about $30-$40 new and it will give you a much better platform to start the retrofit,then go find a acura or bmw and take the hid system from it,i can get these also ,pm me for more info

Talk to 4g4d he did projectors in his sedan. I agree about getting some apc's and use the projectors out of them

i didnt do the projectors but i did put in a 9006 hid kit. its not retrofitted but its hella bright. 4300k is the best to go with. i think anything higher than that kills the light output.
