I would look in your phone book to see if their are any companies that stock jdm engines and clips. For example, I skimmed through a spokane wa phone book and found a company specializing in jdm supplies. I called them up and they have sitting in their warehouse nearly any engine, clip, or conversion kit you could ask for.

so look in your phone book for starters. after that, I would look at ebay.

Got a few options here man,

Brickshttp://passwordjdm.com/JDM-S13....aspx

Dual Projectorshttp://passwordjdm.com/JDM-S13....aspx

And my favorite

Triple Projectorshttp://passwordjdm.com/JDM-S13....aspx

If your gonna go projectors there is a write up on how to modify them to fit TL or TSX bulbs so they put out better light.

Just skim though craigslist, nico's classifieds, and zilvia's classifieds ( )You can get it much cheaper.

Just make sure your solder all your connections. It makes for the most worry free wiring job. Do it once and forget it. Also I've found that using some cleaning flux past works very well when soldering old factory wiring. You can get everything you need at Frys or some other electronic supply store.
