Lucky! There are tons of 2.5" projectors out there.

I measured mine, and 60mm is all you could get away with. So 2 5/16" to 2 3/8" for us

^Not really. There's a bunch of DIYs around already, and it varies a LOT depending on what projectors you use.
Plus, half the steps in my DIY would be:

Step #whatever) Beat head against wall
Step #the next one) Take bumper back off and remove headlights again

This is definitely random and maybe even a dumb question:

For us 6MT guys with the squishy clutch pedal issue, could we run a thicker fluid besides dot3 and dot4? Like say 75w90 transmission fluid in the system? Please don't flame me!

^i'm thinking probably not, it's the pressure plate that's giving you the squishy feel. They also said upgrading to steel braided lines reduces hose flex/expansion which might help with the squishiness, but I wouldn't personally know for sure.

when using bixenon projectors, can you use the wires that go to the high beam bulb to control the high beam solenoid? if not then what other way do you do it?
