    I'm a bit curious on this cause I want to get projectors before I get HID's. I just think they look better with them.

    Ebay some TSX projectors and retrofit them to the headlights. A lot cheaper than going with the EVO X or Euro headlights.

    interesting but those are expensive and seems like a lot of work...

    Any projector can fit, unless its too large.

    Here is an example of it done with a Civic.

    Check out the forums on there, you will learn a lot! I am too afraid to do it myself, I think I'll pay someone to do it. Well .... once I free up some money haha

    Yeah people do retrofits all the time but it takes a bit of fabrication, unless you buy a kit pre-fabricated for your car. But it will be a while before that comes out for the 08's.

    Easy? IMO, 8O haha. You have to open up the headlights, cut up the reflective piece and make a kit for the projector to fit, and it has to be made into it. I've also heard that the aiming is the hardest actually because if you close up your lense and its off, you have to reopen it and reset it.

    I dunno, I think I'm going to pay someone to do it, if I ever get it done.

    sounds rough. and i know that i would mess it up and have to buy new headlights. But i guess that'd just be a reason to splooge on EvoX projectors.
