Dave is correct in that the driving lights can be used with the engine off (but they get very hot quickly.. melted my original surrounds,so only put them on while moving)
GE 34537 – Q4631 lights.
They work for me..(old blind speed freak lol)

I finally managed to source a set of real Bi-xenon HID kit projectors



Nice gregg, which ones did you go with? Find me a set? :p (my single beam retrofit might go up for sale once I can find a pair).

Hey Jose,

I ended up getting a set from
http://www.theretrofitsource.com

I had to ask via email if he could supply a RHD set. After a couple of emails he said he would convert one of his infiniti projector sets to RHD. I paid an additional fee for the conversion - can't recall now how much it was all up.

Warning however, the projector housing parts are too big to fit as supplied. I had to cut off the surrounding pieces and part of the back of the light cluster housing but have finally managed a perfect fit.

The only thing is I had to do away with the adjusters so now I have to work out a way to keep them in place with an alterative adjustment mechanism or just fix them permanently in the right place (which may be difficult). So you might want to wait until I actually solve the install of these things. But it's looking good so far...

I assume the projectors are going into the new design headlights? Are they the same design as the original Soarer headlights? Also, are the projectors D1S or D2S? If D1S they may be a problem as the bulb has an in-built ignitor as opposed to the D2S which doesn't... if they're D2S then excuse the blabber :-)

The RX330 projectors were a PITA to fit... ended up using custom brackets to mount them to the factory aim adjusters and used a ton of super strong adhesive stuff to mate the projectors. I haven't had a problem with them except it sits too far forward (can't move them back as they foul the housing). I don't have the pictures here with me so I'll try to find them when I get back from Korea.

Good luck with the install though. I like the idea of the 3 top LED's being blinkers instead of parking lights but those two openings underneath really need to be covered up (jmo).

I was thinking the two blank holes would look better being indicators
