Default anyone have TL bi-xenons retro in 96-00 civic headlamps (or 92-95's)

I am in the process of acquiring everything needed for acura TL projectors with rare zkw (e46) bixenon lense swap. I just picked up some (gunmetal chrome)crossfire shoruds which should look good in my oem CTR headlamps.

for those that don't know the lense from e46 bmw Canadian 330ix is the only car that comes with zkw bi-xenons (clear lense). when that lense is swapped on TL projectors the result is a ultra-sharp cutoff at a very long distance.

I am looking for people that have mounted TL projectors in 96-00 civic headlamps for some advice on mounting...I hope to retain my oe city light socket & need tips for mounting

you'd have to cut the bottom out to fit the bi-xenon motor thingy these things barely fit

lol this is a time consuming project lol

are you a member at HIDplanet.com? If so i have a whole page that is set up for when i mounted my TSX projectors in my 96-98 headlights.
I know you asked for TL, but with pics of how mine are mounted might help.
