Looks very nice. I might consider doing this once I get my hands on some money. I'm somewhat noob to projectors, so I'm assuming that with bi-xenon I won't need my hi-beams on my stock reflectors anymore? If so, do I have to do any sort of special wiring in order to make the bi-xenon function with the hi-beam switch or would my HID plug and play kit do that?

Also, with the stock low beams, there's that reflector cover thing. How do you take that out? Just pull it out?

Bi-xenon is simple. It has a solenoid mechanism that is hooked to a shield, when activated (by your high beam wiring) the shield flips/slides down and allows light above the cut-off, giving you "high beams". You can still retain you stock high beams and use them. The whole bi-xenon wiring is usually 2 simple wires. Your plug and play kit would work fine long as it's the proper bulb type. Bi-xenon is actually just a single HID bulb.

be like it is
the low beam "cover" is just held on by a screw on the bottom of the reflector...

If that's the case this might be my next modification for my car then. What about the stock reflector circle thingy? How would I go about removing that so the projector could just fit?

Oh sorry, I didn't know that's what it was called :p. Thanks!

Edit: I was just wondering, if you were to compare these to TSX projectors, how far off would they be in terms of performance?
