ok ok..I was wondering if all the people that made their own projector headlights for post-98 wanna share HOW they did it?? did you guys cut open the headlight (hoping for no as an answer) What did you guys have to modify to stick the projectors in??? where and what kind of projectors were used?? and the final one..is it possible for anyone to do it?? thanks!

I do believe you have to rip the light open and just cut away til you can fit a projector in there, then seal...in general terms.

Well if anyone will donate a pair of old used 98+ headlights I can do a How-To on it. I have a pair of OEM Acura Integra headlamps (both include a removable projector - how convienient) and it just takes like 4 screws to secure it.
Once I get a headlamep, I will do it and post it.

They were made buy a guy that was on the CEG before. He stopped making them because some people did'nt like the quality.

Swazo's setup is just like Skrillas. You could probably install them from behind without ever having to seperate the clear lens from the reflector assembly. Dion installed both lowbeams and highbeams onto a carbon fiber backing plate for his (looks very hot). Josch put OEM HID (A6, IIRC) into his pre-98 housings and had to clear the lens out so the fluting wouldnt throw the light everywhere. Mine are installed into modded OEM lenses. To my knowledge, I am the only one (Contour/Mystique) who has the Hellas exposed to the elements. If you want to talk to either Swazo or Dion they are in Utah or So.Cal. Milan doesnt hang around here anymore, and I doubt he would help the CEG community with this info. If you are looking for a place to buy the projectors, 90mm DOT Hellas, the most common lamp, they even have a matching foggie. 120mm DOT lamp, this is what, IIRC, Milan used in his personal setup. P.U.M.A. doesnt list their Hellas on their website, but you can get the 90mm ECE lamps, and most likely the 120mm ECE units from them. Having gone through two sets of DOT 90mm pieces, and one set of ECE 90mm lamps, IMHO, the ECE pieces are the way to go for our cars, 98+ included. The beam pattern in tighter and the cutoff is razor sharp. Both the ECE and DOT versions will (should have) a new, flat cutoff shield created when they have HID installed.

Yah the Integras have the cutoff shield and the _/- look in side the projector so you dont blind the left traffic.
