Re: e39 projectors should be smaller, not bigger

This is what I was going on as well, we'll see how it works. On the chance they didn't work, I'm sure I can get my money back out of the HID setup.

umm, not totally sure, but the lense might be the same. but i dont think that the back of the projector is the same. the lense on the ES is 88mm, on the audi, 60, on the bmw, 68. thats just the lense though, the audi, the metal goes outward into about 85 mm, so... try it and let us know what happens. maybe you can get it to work
