    Retrofit BMW projectors?

    Saw some 02-04 BMW 750 XENON HID PROJECTORS on Ebay pretty cheap. Does anyone know the dimensions of these? And will these be any good for retrofits? Auction was for PAIR OF DAMAGED BMW 7 SERIES HEADLIGHT WITH GOOD 3" BIXENON PROJECTORS, ANGEL EYES AND BEZELS IN GOOD CONDITION. Hoping to be aboe to use shrouds and all.

    not sure about the size, might be a little big for the stock headlights. I did bmw E46 (3 series) preojectors in my old jdm 1 pc headlights and they worked perfect. Check out HIdplanet.com for more retrofit info, they might have the specs on there.

      I also saw another set from a 04 BMW X5. Think these are too big also? I want them cause i want to try to use the shrouds and the angel eyes also.

                    easy, open up the headlight, drill 4 holes and plop it in there. Got mine done in a weekend's time.

                        its not quite as easy as he said.......its not overly hard though......its more time consuming cuz you have to spend some time getting them aimed right and making it look half decent.

                          yeah i didnt follow that advice on HIDplanet and all but it was time consuming, took me about 20-25hrs of labor to get everything the way i wanted (cutting headlight housing in the back, painting the projectors, finding the spacers and screws, finding the shrouds and securing those, then sealing the back side from water/dust/dirt w/ this gap filling insulating foam)
