Default Will These Projectors fit in the FG coupe headlights

Infinity FX - Infiniti Fx Hids, ballasts, projectors and bulbs $200

BMW projectors, bulbs, ballasts can be had for $200 ...will they fit too?

That'd be nice if they can fit in FG coupe headlights. I have a friend willing to charge me only a couple hundred dollars for labor for a retro-fit install.

He's done it for integras before.

This would mean a cost of only about $400 for a complete retrofit conversion! It may not look as pretty as customlightz job which can be done for about $1200...but for those whose budgets are in a tight squeeze


==========

P.S. I'm putting most of my tax return for my car fix (2 deductibles) in about 2 weeks! woot woot!

The next mod = upgrading me as a driver. I'm going to the alfa romeo north west advanced driving school tomorrow -_-

then i'll upgrade the tires to probably Falken Azenis for about $70 each, then the next and maybe final mod = Intake.

I'm working 2 jobs now to support...well when it comes down to it...my Civic.

has your friend done a retro before?
cheaper could end up costing you more in the long run....

check on hidplanet.com about the FX projectors and if they are trash and the dimensions.

infinity...The lenses alone are 3"...now u got the housing and solenoid on the side...it might be a squeezed fit but it should work. However, why use a bi-xenon when you got a separate section for the hi's already?
BMW's depend on which ur getting...e46 bixenon? single xenon? e55 bixenon?
they lense diameter are 3 inches...
i doubt u'd be getting the zkw with ballasts and bulbs for 200...the projectors alone go for 300 lol
but yes cheaper might not always be the perfect solution but temporary,,,the reason why others pay 1200 for a retrofit w/customlightz is bc they buy expensive projectors(200,300 for a set of projectors) + new bulbs and ballasts that run for 400...add that to the 300 labor and shipping and it'd cost about 1000 +
u find the parts urself at the right price and send them to them...and u can get it done cheaper

Great minds think alike, haha.
I thought about using the infiniti's fx projectors.
I asked customlightz and they said the projector
will be do-able
but not 100 percent sure about the shroud.

shroud won't work...it's way too big and even if you trim it down to a resonable size it'd look fugly
