03-05 Fog Light Conversion to Xenon??

Did anyone retrofit our fogs into xenons? I'm thinking of putting a xenon kit since our lights are not that bright. If someone did, please post some pictures. Thank you in advance!!!

It's a work on progress for the 5th (!) revision of my retrofit, but here's a pic:

The low beams with the TSX projectors are done. The high/fog with RS6 bixenons need the shroud finalized and the wiring hooked up.

That is beautiful. But I am assuming that retrofit will be very expensive. I was looking more like adding a xenon kit on our fog lights.

So far it's:

$200 TSX projectors
$30 hidplanet shrouds
$25 two E46 3" shrouds
$200 RS6 bixenon projectors
$300 for extra pair of headlights with ballasts/bulbs.
$45 H4 harness that will allow both high (solenoid) and low (HID bulb) to be on at the same time.
$7 for an acrylic pane at Home Depot for the clear signals, with enough material left to do another 15-20 pairs of headlights.

2 months of time into it, creating custom sheilds for the TSX projectors, figuring out how to mount everything. I do about 1 hr of it here and there. It's just for my own car, so I'm taking my sweet old time. My goal is to finish it by early December.

With all that time invested and the bucks, woudln't it be easier to pop in the '06 headlights and be done?

I think he started before the 06's were out and before anyone knew that they were plug and play...also, he still has his clearance light!

I already did a retrofit in Sept 2003, pretty sure I was the first to do so on a G35.

But I'm looking for a sharper cutoff with the TSX projectors.

Plus, if you look at the list of items, you'll see that there are a total of 4 projectors listed.
