    well i have TSX projectors that will be coming tomorrow, another popular choice is the FX-R projectors. as far as bulbs...depends on what color you want. most common is 4300k, another popular option is 6000k. if you want one of the best bulbs, you're looking at the phillips 85122 or 85122+ bulbs. ballasts are depending on how much power you want. 35w is standard, if you want more while sacrificing bulb lifetime, you can get 55w...and if you don't have a lot of space you'll want a slim ballast

    Maybe if somebody did a video how to like this one on youtube more people would feel more comfortable going for it. I know I certainly would...

    I was just going to wing it but Retro day would be awsome. BTW there is some a hole with a TL in my area who has his projectors set high; blinds the shit out of me everything I see him. When I get this done I'm gong to follow him around with my high on :D

    truest while is near 4300k and 5000k so both of those colors would be great, shrouds are all about looks, so choose the one that looks badass to you. ballasts from these guys are all about the same except wattage and size. so if you want small ones go slim, and 35w is good enough, 55w will through a bit more light but kill the bulb earlier

    probably, give him a ring, he's a great guy to work with. call him up and explain that you already have the bulbs, he'll probably work with you.
