How did you got this projector from the junk yard? even I am also looking for one. Does it have the HID bulb and the ballast? How much you paid for it. I found one but the guy was asking 3.5K for the whole assy, having the ballast, hopefully bulb also, not sure as its fully sealed with special allen bolts, a Laura RH side. Hope its worth for some one is not having an existing HID kit. In my case I on an H4 HID kit already, I want to make use of it atleast the ballast.

I have also heard that people are trying to retrofit with the scraped projectors, but mostly have givenup due to the lack of proper fitment and the bulb issues. Ofcourse the lenses will be from the junkyards and the reliabilty in functioning is a big issue. Retrofitting requires skills to open the sealed beam and putting it back to its original condition and knowledge to focus the beams and its should not spoil the original stock reflector fully. One thing you should keep in mind that once you retrofited this projector, you can not use the stock sealed beam for th stock bulb.

Try to do it yourself with the help of a good mech or a good friend who can help in this and lets also know the progress.
