It works just fine. But if you get hid's that have bulbs meant for projector housing you have to buy some for reflector housing. You can get them for around 100 on ebay. I cant remember what bulb it is though.

I have the whole Audi bi-xenon projector setup and a pair of JDM 1-piece lights. I still haven't started on the project because of school.

You can put a HID bulb in there, but it will light up all over the place, there's a way to shield the top of the bulb so it doesn't shine all over but it's still not effective.

What I'm going to do is open up the lights and get rid of the reflector. Then, i'm going to make the hole in the back of the lights to put the projector in. I'm worried about the aiming of the projectors though. I know how it's supposed to look, the cut-off but how would I be able to adjust the projectors? I'll figure it out though. Also, the lens cover on the headlights has those flutes in it. They need to be removed from sanding, there's a tutorial in hidforum, just gotta search. If you don't make the lens clear then the cut-off won't be sharp.

The name of the dude who used the s2k projectors: theintegraguy.

I'm not really sure how the casper glare guard works, but to my understanding it helps aim you light patter.

The casper shield is actually a product made by casper electronics. Its used as an adapter for D2r or D2s capsule to fit a h4 application. What a casper shield does is block out light from shining from the bottom of the capsule to parts of the reflector that aim upwards causing glare. these are only for h4 applications. now people have copied their own version of shields for numerous other bulb fittings ie.( 9006 etc.) some work well some don't. remember you are throwing hids in a housing made for halogens. I've messed around for hrs experimenting with shields for my 1peicers still disappointed. In the process of retrofitting 5 series bi xenons in the near future.
