BMW projectors https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=495898

I tried running H3 hids in the (unmodified) aftermarket projectors - DON'T go there, the results looked nice in appearance but function like sh*t (if you search my name you can find some pics of HIDs in the projectors - sorry but i am LAZY + at work..lol)

how was the light output after the projector install or did you covert it all at once? also how hard was it to adjust once installed? thanks

My install was a pain in the ***. I'm not sure if the picts are still up in that other thread i had, but i had to cut up the stock projector base, and then jb-weld it to the base of my hella bi-xenon projector. Took lots of time/patience/and creativity.
Adjustment is easy because i mouted them to the stock adjusting screws. I figured, if i didnt, there'd be no way to adjust them, without taking the whole housing apart (in my case).

In my bro's case, he used a stock reflector headlamp. just mounted the projector inside the reflector, and is still able to adjust his lights as well.

All in all, i'm DAMN pleased with my results. Awesome output on the road, although i am limiting the forward range of my setup, because my car is lowered. If i point them up even a bit more, they become blinding

I do have more picts of the cutoff compared to my sis's RSX...high beam picts as well. I'm just waiting for my bro to email me them, and i'll post them ASAP in a new thread or this one

Any other questions, just ask
