To those guys attempting the projectore retrofits, I just want to know how you are going to aim the projectors within the headlight housings. Using wingnuts welded to some screws has got to be one of the most imprecise things I have ever heard.

Its basically being freehanded, and Id take the glare from a plug & Play kit that pops right in to the glare of a seat of the pants projector any day if I was the one coming in the opposite direction.

mine are using the exact same three mounting screws that came with my aftermarket projector housings, rock solid, no bouncing and very easy to adjust.

Just Little update on my retrofit. I'm still awaiting for all of my parts to arrive. So far I've ordered the Phillips 4300K OEM Hid bulbs($70). An aftermarket Ballast to OEM HID Converter Connector($25), and a pair of Audi RS6 ECE Projectors($170). All that I need now is the set of Projector housings.


I would like some opinions on either of these projectors (Keep in mind that I have a BLACK 5th gen coupe).

IF anyone has pictures/link of a black accord with projetor headlights I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

I personally would just do it in stock or jdm headlights. thats what I did, I dont really like the look of any of the projectors. dont know how much easier it is if you start out with projectors already though...
