It is nice to see someone around here doing HIDs properly!
No shit, nobody does it right.
I especially hate the trucks around here with HIDs in their reflector housings. I might sell my Halogen Projectors for a hid intermediate retrofit, or fog retrofit. They do very well with PNP kits, even though I don't approve.
The FX gear is just a bit too wide, and the solenoid is mounted on the bottom on the reflector bowl side of the projector, if you're following me. This hits the headlights mounting and structure area, giving me about a 1" offset between the FX's mounting surface and the headlight mounting surface.
We're talking about the 05 Miata here, and it has a good bit of wrap on its headlights. A bi-xenon setup is going to be hellishly hard to fit, but I think I can do it, and retain the stock adjustment.
The only one I can think of that will work is the Hella E55 Bi-xenon setup, because the Solenoid for the cut-off sheild is located on the lens side of the projector, not the housing side. Make sense? So it doesn't get between the two mounting surfaces.
I spent about 4 hours with a dremel, calipers, tape measure, etc, determining if the FX projector would fit, and decided it wouldn't, or it'd be way to tough, and If i cut the FX projector I can return it, so I didn't.
I have all the stuff here, so I can test it out if I had a projector.
