what projectors for retro fit?

first thing is this my first g and i love this car, its an 04 and im looking to do a quad projector retrofit. i wanted know what projectors would make for the easiest retrofit. i also wanted to add some gatling gun shrouds with some ccfl halos (i think thats what they are called) to illuminate the shrouds.
this will be my first retro. any suggestions would be great. thanks...

You can pretty much do any projectors you'd like. Some will be easier to work with than others. The larger the projectors (ie: S2K/TL combo) the harder they are to work with since space is limited and you'll have to do some cutting.

Common projectors used and considered are S2K, TL, TSX, R330, FX, 2nd Gen Sedan, LS460, Miromoto Mini, etc.

I have BAUSauto quad projectors with TSX-R projectors top and bottom:

mine are similar with a halo on the bottom.. i really like them but i may remove the halo and do what marcus has done.. this is mine.







depending if i keep my car or not, i will redo my upper shroud to match the lower and remove the halo and try and add the blue look like marcus lol

ronnies came out super clean too. if i keep my ride ima match my shrouds with the housing and clear out my amber. thats what i need lol.

the other thing i wanna do is open up my clear corners, sand down the chrome inside and paint it silver, exact color as the housing. that will come in time. lol.
