To retro-fit our headlight housings with Projectors? Is there modifications that need to be done to the back of the stock housings? All the projector housings I've seen there are at least 3 mounting points. Are there other vehicle projectors that would work on the AC? I'm sure the the hole needs to be opened up wider so the projector will fit.

I called up one company in Alabama, and they said they could retro fit the AC's headlights with projectors. Since I have stock HIDs, the cost for just the projector housings is $250, HIDs and Projectors for the high beam is $500, and to install angel eyes while it's open is additional $200. Seems pretty pricey Too bad the 350Z's lights don't work in ours...or can it?...hmmmm

to tell you the truth i dont think you can retrofit projectors in our cars cleanly...the way the housing is made will A. Make really difficult to do and B. even by some miracle you got it right without screwups its going to end up looking like ****....my advice to you is to stick with the factory HID's and paint the chrome housing black

Shhh! Don't tell that to Addidas!

He is sending his lights to Lightwerks, I believe, for a retrofit. Expect an update when he comes back!

Yea, I shipped them out a few days ago. Caesar doesn't really know if he can get a retrofit done, but he will try his hardest. I have requested for him to come on here and make a few posts with pictures of the progress. We will see how it results
