Default Want to do a HID refit but confused

Ok guys i searched and so far i know that S2000 Projectors will work but are the most hard to do, plus hard to find so those are out. Next TSX (04) Projectors, Found some for 100 dollars should i get these? Or found some Audi A6 98-03 should fit right?

Ok i have ballasts and bulbs but just are after market ones that are 9006 ones at 5,000K. Will the projectors help with the anti glare and distance or should i save up and get the whole A6 refit Kit with the Projectors, OEM Ballasts, and bulbs does it make a big difference? I like the ones i have now def more light output but distance is still the same. Just want to make sure i know what to do before buying parts. Thanks, Brian

your ballast system i believe will work.

have the hid bulbs you have in your integra been rebased to fit 9006?
the problem is if it is rebased it may not fit into the projector housing.
the HID projectrs, need the flange to lock in place and the 3 nubs that come out of the side of the HID bulbs.
tsx and s2000 projectors are pretty simillar, both will be fine for the conversion.

anything retrofit will take some custom elbow grease work.

all are viable choices, and yes HID will take care of the glare, and will have a longer beam

just gotta make sure it is HID. the focal point of the HID projectors will always be precise.

first off, my brain hurts from reading your sentences... especially the later half. sigh. screw all the aftermarket HID sh*t and just stick with OEM HID. i went with A6 projectors/ballasts/d2s bulbs back in the day and they worked well. since then, people have done s2k and tsx retrofits with much success. again, i think it'd be pointless to use OEM HID projectors with aftermarket HID bulbs that you already have... you're mixing apples with bad oranges.
