Man, that is nice! Did you do it yourself? Also, did you by any chance create a DIY??? I can't wait to do mine. I hope it comes out as good as yours and rcantu.

i think james got it done by the same guy that rcantu got his done cuz both live close 2 each other and the style of the retrofit looks like the same creator.

Cool, I've always wondered how you guys get the projectors to point the right way after getting them mounted, do they come with some sort of adjustable brace in the back or something?

Anyone know anything about the Q45/M3 retrofits? I am very curious to see if this can be done with my car. So far the only problem I see is that they are designed as a low beam only.

thats with ANY retrofit tho. Every car Ive seen with factory HIDs have a seperate bulb for Highs.

most of the retrofits are the same so using the q45 or M3 should work tha same as any other retro.

So do you sacrifice the high beam with a retrofit?
