    Im looking at doing one next summer and am just wondering if anyone around here has done one? I'll most likely be using a projector from a newer mazda but i'm not sure yet.

      i have been thinking about doing a retrofit for my headlights, either from a s2k or acura tsx are the most common projectors that are used for my car, i just cant find a pair of these projectors for a price that i can afford, thats why i haven't done this to mine yet./....maybe some day!

        These guys are the place to go
        http://www.theretrofitsource.com/index.php

        They have lots of great reviews from the forums, and they sell everything you'll need to do it right. Other than that, with opening the housing and such, your kinda on your own lol. But these guys have alot of good info

          Yeah i've heard of the site just havn't taken the time to check it out entirely. I've been watching 2-3 that are being done on some 5th gen grand ams (99-05) over on www.gaownersclub.com and its realy making me want to do one since there is nothing out there for my 95 besides stock. My only issue is the fresnel lenses that are stock and the fact that clear lenses that were made in the early 2000s are no where to be found. I would try to sand the fresnel down but that might be preaty difficult. legacy image The stupid thing about it is they make projectors for the 3rd gens (85-91) nothing for the early 4th gens (92-95) then black housings for the late 4th gens (96-98) then a good 10 different styles for the 5th gens. It sucks not having any support in the aftermarket and having to do EVERYTHING custom. Custom is great but not for everything.

            A lot of people use the s2k ones for subarus so they seem to be pretty popular for retrofits
