Projector retrofit Ballast and bulbs

I am doing a retro on my AV6 (my question will pertain to acura's as well, and I know their are some AV6 poking around here). I am planning on using e90 projectors the bmw shroud is just awesome looking I will have to make sure the projector will fit but I believe it will. My main question is what ballast and bulbs to use. Now I have some tinkering skills the only part of the project that concerns is the wiring if I go with a bmw ballast I would have to rewire from my stock headlight connection. So really I just don't know what do about the ballast and bulbs because I would prefer not to chop up my headlight connectors. Anyway any opinions on projectors, ballast, or bulbs would be greatly appreciated.

If you havent already purchased anything I would recomend checking out this site:
http://store.theretrofitsource.com/
They sell whole kits for whatever your need. They also sell the individual items as well.
I would sugest using the TSX projectors and buying the BMW shroud to go over them if you want the BMW look. The TSX projectors would probably make more sense since its the Honda/Acura family.
