#1
![Default](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Ive seen E46 Single's retro'd but Im going to try to get a bixenon in.
Why? cause I accidently bought the bi xenons.![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
DopeSC was nice enough to trace me the bosch projector template
Now im assuming the bi's will still line up, im just worried about making them fit...
1 First off (its been awhile since i last retro'd). Does the lenses flip over the light? as in the cutoff shield is at the TOP of the projector or the BOTTOM to output the light normally.
2 retarded question. nm
3 ...do you think it will fit? lol

I the overall height of the projector is more than 3", you will have to cut the bottom of the headlight out, and fab a little box that would house the bi-xenon soleniod.
So measure the height, from the bottom of the solenoid, to the top most part of the projector, and we'll go from there.

Emoshun, illl try and get a measurement. Like I said, its not in my hands til Xmas.
This is HID Planet's Meaurements
Bosch Bi-Xenon (aka E46):
Diameter = 78.30mm
Height = 84.10mm
Width = 105.00mm
Length = 166.95mm
Length(seat of the lens to mounting holes) = 66.65mm
Length(mounting holes to end of bulb) = 80.70mm
Width(between top mounting holes) = 82.00mm
Width(between bottom mounting holes) = 95.10mm
Height(between mounting holes) = 62.10mm
and here is a drawing i found

Keep in mind. I have been given a set for a GIFT. returning gifts is mean

Not to mention
E46 HIDS > SC400 Halogens. If my hassle includes making the bottom of the headlight housing a little larger, whats the big deal? cut plastic and gluw together? a few hours of work to save the hassle of buying new ones and selling the ones that were given to me as a present?
So back to my original question at hand. How much room am I looking at needing?
