Projector Headlight Retrofit ???'s

I finally bit the bullet and purchased a pair of Acura TL bi-xenon projector assemblies that I am going to be retrofitting into my stock '05 headlight housings (along with some Hella ballasts & D2S lamps, gatling-gun shrouds and wiring harnesses that control the bi-xenon function AND eliminate the lamp-out indicator issues).

Has anybody here done a similar retrofit and have photos of what you did to mount the projectors in the stock housings? Please share whatever you've got!

Will post pic's when I'm done.
Thanx
-Mark

if you have a late model 05 it has different wiring than the early 05's. if a late 05 i can help. you do not need the resistors. and i can send pix of the acura's mounted. i also changed all of the other lights to L.E.D.'s. most are heating the lens in a oven and separating it. i was to lazy and cut the lens and silicone it back. i did not take pix of assembling them. i did three of our 06's the first one took three days the last one about four hours. the only mistake i made was i adjusted the beams to d.o.t. specifications and then hooked up to my 5th wheel for a 5,000 mile round trip. the weight of the trailer changed the pattern enough to blind the on coming traffic, i just ran in the day time until i got back and readjusted the beam with the trailer mounted.

Carl48; I would love to see pic's of how you installed your projectors!! Can you post them here?

I do plan to bake open the housings to remove the lenses. I want the installation to appear completely factory... I bought a used set of stock headlights to do this. My truck is an early '05, but the wiring harnesses I have eliminate the need for resistors and will not cause the lamp-out indicator issue.
Thank you!
