      I think they're the E46 projectors. You can also get them from a Nissan 300ZX. You can use pretty much anything that will fit inside your housing. Take some measurements and go to the junk yard and you might get lucky.

        if you cant find projectors that use hid bulbs
        get projectors that use 9005-9006 bulbs, they'll atleast be as close to them
        projectors w h3 bulbs or h7 produce a lot of glare, and there's not even a cut off

        good example of projectors

        hyundai xg350(tiburon)
        mercury cougar 03 (v6 DOHC)
        oldsmobile alero 04


        low quality ones:
        infinity j30
        lexus (non hid)
        ebay
        etc


        not only the cut-off is an important part in the assy,
        but the actual back reflector, you allways want the bulb to sit in the right place

        the lens if you get a lens w a spiral groove your output will be different

        if you're only going for looks and some preformance go w one of the above, i suggest mecury, (bosch)

        if you want performance, id go w tsx (cheapest) w e49 shroud

          The TSX projectors look fantastic. I've seen them firsthand.

          If you're going to put in the work, get something good.

                    Don't buy the entire light. Search "TSX Projector".

                      Just buy the projectors alone. The price of retrofit parts have dropped a lot over the years. When I originally did my retrofit the total was roughly $700 in parts for my first set of headlights (my cb had 5 diff sets total). I think now the entire set up can be done for roughly $400 or less if using OEM hid ballast and bulbs.

                      Halogen


                      TSX projectors + IS300 hid ballast and bulbs

                          I haven't ever done it but from what i've read it doesn't seem to be too bad.

                            It's not too hard. Measure twice, cut once.
