Ok so i bought a set of headlights last night for $50. I plan on black housing them but i also want to do projectors. I was wondering what type of projectors would be best and if any projector is better then no projector.

I went through 3 sets of projectors before landing on the TSX's, that's what I recommend, those or e46

i think im gonna try without the eyelids. ill probably blachouse the old ones and do tsx projectors on the new.

Well there are a lot of other options that have better results than the tsx projectors, however, most likely you'll be running into space issues.

here are a few:

TL projectors (in stock form have almost 2x the foreground output of tsx projectors)
SC430 projectors with either bmw zkw or 300zx lense swap (most likely what I'll be using in my next retro, shatters the tsx output and the cutoff is amazingly much sharper as well)
S2000 projectors: still one of the kings of single projectors, top 3 foreground output and one of the best in terms of width
LS430 projectors ....eh, dont even try...way too large...but arguably the best around

I have a few I can post up later on today, I didn't take a lot of pics of the reflectors out of the housing, but the few I did were lost on a corrupted memory card, and I was so excited to put the headlights back together, I really only have a lot of good pics once they were put back together. However, I have a few that show the proj coming out the back. As for mounting the projector, I used quiksteel to mount the proj right to the reflector so that I could still use the stock adjustment functions. The hole I cut was pretty small, since the wider part of the projector is sitting inside the reflector and mounted to it

This guy around the corner had two cl's and wrecked both. And had some extra parts.
