valeos will fit the easiest. TSX are pretty wide, so you'd probably have to cut a bunch. i've got a set of TSX projectors and i'm trying to decide what housing to put them in. i wanted TYC's, but the one retro i saw with them, he had to do a lot of cutting on the housing. i might do it just to be a challenge. may be a dumb question, but you do know that to get a set of TSX, ballasts, bulbs and a harness will be another $500+ right? just want to make sure you know what you're getting into. this Philips 4300k HID D2S Kit XD-4k-D2S kit is nice. it has ballasts, bulbs, cases/covers and the harness all for $360 and they're new components, not used. most of the stuff i've learned has been over at HiDPlanet.com :: Index

ANOTHER way, I wonder if it'll work. Use a Mazda 3 PROJECTOR. I just put HIDs on my g/f mazda 3. its prett SICK!. and they are cheap on ebay, I wonder if the projector will FIT into the duel angel eyes. Mazda 3 projectors can use the aftermarket h7 bulbs.
I think this is the ruite. POSSIBLE?
