supraforums.com?

But seriously, retrofit or nothing at all. Anything you put in those stock flip-up headlight housings are going to look like ***. You need to get some OEM HID projectors in there.

Don't talk about dumb@$$ street racing activities here.

I think a fixed projector in an MK3 would be kind of difficult, due to the low angle of the body around the headlight opening. It could make the foreground lighting pretty bad unless the projector was placed up higher. Then you'd have to do some sort of clear "bubble" cover over the projector, similar to what the late-model NSX's have.

ah now that's different, yeah that would be a bad@$$ setup with OEM HID projectors. Anything less is going to sub-par.
