Calling all 2gen tl with projectors

I would like to see some pictures before making a decision on my projector shrouds.

I'm too lazy to take photos at the moment, but I'll link to the projectors and ballast/bulb kit that I fit into my headlights. The process was quite a bit easier than I had anticipated. The projectors fit perfectly into the pre existing bulb holes in the headlights. I only needed to file down a tab on the headlight reflector assembly that's used to hold the original bulb retainer clip.

Here are the projectors that I used and Here are the projectors that I used and
here is the HID kit I used. here is the HID kit I used.

With that HID kit, you may want to use relays. Every now and then I have to flick my lights off and back on again when the drivers side light doesn't come on. I suspect that the inrush current for these ballasts is too much for the stock headlight wiring. Anyway, this combo gives me a vastly improved light output with a nice cutoff line.

^ Yeah Photos would be great! those mini Projectors work nicely (By some Reviewer Video) and I figure it out that you can wire the High Part of the Bixenon to our existing High Beam for double High Beams.

Check out my photos on my page. I used Moriomoto projectors and Bullet shrouds.

I was planning on getting the e46 shroud but didn't know which one. As of now I have the mini d2s 3.0 projector. Has anyone use the e46 shroud, if so should I use the regular or extended version?

I used bullet shrouds and i had to trim them down using a dremel, otherwise they will never fit in my housing.

I am curious, where did you put the shroud on the HiBeam area?
