Bought mine from here:

Gotcha, just picked up a set of TSX projectors and headlights. Just need to get the shrouds, bulbs and determine what projectors to go up top if I do quads.

yeah I paid extra for the ZKW clear lense..this is the guy that had EVERYTHING and gave me an entire package deal. I think he did run out of the S2k though... I originally was going to use the fresnel lenses from the TL for the turn signals...but the TL's are 3" as opposed to 2.5" so now they're just paper weight on my table LOL

^Very nice. I have my 3" lens from the 2nd Gen Sedan projectors sitting around too. To everyone doing a projector swap a clear lens swap is a must have. Cuttoff is sharper, color is nicer.

Nice deal. Decided to just stick with TSX up top and will do a clear lense over the turn signal as well. What bulbs should I use, 4300K or 5000K?

If you have, can you pick me up a set and I will pay you back.

I would not do 4300K not white enough IMO. Go with 5k or 6k bulbs. I have 6K bulbs and they are great. Very white in color.

White, yet with the strong HID/Xenon output and a touch of color flicker? Remind me D2C or D2S bulbs??

Yes exactly, but with a ever so slight tinge of blue. I have 6K Miramoto D2S bulbs from retrofitsource. They have them in 5K too which are pure white.

5k: http://www.theretrofitsource.com/pro...e111a4e004b843

6K: http://www.theretrofitsource.com/pro...9390fdac1db65e
