Just as the topic states. I don't want to mess with my TYC's by trying to retrofit A6 projector lenses. I would rather just get the plug and play kit from Phillips. I also want to see pictures of HID in stock TYC and I want to know if there are any problems that people are having with them. Thanks

I've herd h1 HID's do not fit directly into the tyc/halo projectors. There will be some modifications reguarless. I think the h1 hid bulb is a lot longer than a regular h1 halogen bulb. People said you have to sand down certain areas of the housing in order for it to fit. Do a search, i think there are a couple topics on it.
1) Aftermarket projectors = Shitty light output (IMO). The projectors are made outta shit glass (basically a magnifying glass). There is a piece of metal in the projector called a shield (shitty made). < Ill take pics if u guys want.
2) Aftermarket HIDs = $200-400+, and when bulbs burn out you can basically only buy "Vision HID Bulbs" (That will break/burn out after a couple of months). Bulbs = 100$?
3) OEM = Well... I dont have to get into that
VoiceOfID had aftermarket HIDs in his projectors and took comparison pics between them and OEM HIDs (Ithink) anyways, with aftermarket hids and aftermarket projectors you WILL have MAD ****ing glare and, cops/people will be pissed off at you.

now, before i go any further, i've had people say what i show is faults on the tyc projectors, because i aim them wrong or whatever.. so... make your own judgement
The opening for your bulb is very cramped in the TYC projector. I'd imagine that MOST HID retro bulbs will not fit even if they were made for H1. The return wire will have to be physically touching the projector (or very close to it) to fit.
I have the stock TYC projectors sitting on the shelf, but have never tried to put a retro H1 bulb into one of them. I can tell by looking at it, that it will not be easy. The pattern is not good, but I have definitly seen worse.
it invloves removing the tyc projectors and replace with the oem style projectors
different memebers did it differently, i cant really tell you how i did mine. because chances are you wont do it the same way. i tried to explain it to jay and he didnt undrestand what i did at all
the cut off in the pic is created by the valeo on the passengerside
the driver side tyc's only light was that yellow arc
