Thanks! I wasn't happy with the e46's output and ECE cutoff. The beam pattern on my TFX is a lot wider and more intense. I also like the dot cutoff more.

Re: Another Retrofit Done

If you get the fx bixenons, the retrofit source just started selling replica tsx lenses for the swap to make them a TFX. It's a lot cheaper than buying a set of tsx projectors just for the lenses. I love having both my stock high beams and the extra bixenon function of the fx projectors, just in case some cuts me off.

Re: Another Retrofit Done

yeah tons of space. i have the hid ballasts under the hood behind battery and ps pump, and my huge halogen ballast under the headlights. and i saw even more room for some smaller ballast in the bumper frame/crash plate.
