projector shroud

Does anyone know where I can get a set of the projector housings (the whole assembly with lenses) from 07-08 headlights? When I open my headlights in the spring to paint them, I am going to do a quad projector retro.. I am going to remove the parking light housing and shave. And then, cut the divider between the blinker and fog, and install a second projector in the middle that acts as fog lights and a blinker. Let me know what you think and where I can get these things at!

Your best bet is to buy a set of headlights from eBay. I have a friend retrofitting 2nd gen sedan projectors into his 03 Sedan headlights and that is where is got his from.

I was looking at that but each one costs like 400 bucks.. 700-800 bucks is really pricy for what I want to do.. is there a generic housing that is good quality that I could use? Also does anyone know if the car cares if it does not have parking lights or do I need to order some load resistors?

If you aren't set on 2nd gen sedan projectors check out retrofitsource.com, lots of good stuff there.

By the way if you search around on eBay long enough you'll find a much better deal than 700-800 bucks.

I think this is what im going with..
http://www.theretrofitsource.com/pro...roducts_id=236
for the projectors (does it matter that they are are hi/low? how can I keep them in the low posistion for my fogs?)

http://www.theretrofitsource.com/pro...products_id=72
for the shrouds

http://www.theretrofitsource.com/pro...roducts_id=134
clear lenses for OEM projectors

http://www.theretrofitsource.com/pro...roducts_id=103 (x2)
I will put these inside the projector housings to shine through the vents (They will work as the parking lights) as I will be taking out the stock parking light housings.

I think thats a pretty reasonable price overall! $275 for the whole project. Now does anyone have any suggestions about the blinker? I currently have white led blinkers but I want to go back to amber to be more legal. Where should I put them or intigrate them so they are stealth? thanks!

As I am looking into this more, is there enough depth behind the blinker/fog area for the projector?

I ended up going a different route unless you can sell just the shroud?
