Just got finished with this install! Didn't have to drill out the hole or make a notch for the bulb. I did have to trim the "shelf" and remove the light shield. I bought a different set of projectors. I might catch some grief for it but I went with the blue angle eye and the red demon eye centers.

I also managed to fit everything in the head light assembly. So its a plug and play like the factory headlight assembly.

Here's a pic of a test of the lighting. It doesn't really do it justice. It's a bright red and blue.

The HID's are the stuff! My wife's Acura has them and I've owned a few BMW's with them. I missed them so much! Not any longer!! Thanks so much for the step by step 986_inquiry!

I'll get more pics up as soon as it stops raining and the sun comes up! LOL!

Anyone having any issues with the Morimoto Minis? According to this site they are plagued with quality problems. I'd love to do this retrofit, but not multiple times and with unsure end results.

There only red when the driving lights are on. There normal projector HIDs when I turn the lights on. So visibility is great! Actually better then my wife's factory Acura projector HID.
