everytime I see a retrofit, someone fabs up something themselves. I don't think they sell pre made bracekts specifically for a retrofit on an SC.

What are you retrofitting? E36? TSX?

No I was goin go tsx but I found a better light output and easier mounting points it fx-r they are from a fx35 with a hybrid clear lense which give me a better cut off and brighter illumination.

check with forum vendors, LuxuryMods for your retrofit brackets. I believe they have them for E46/Audi TT, TSX, and more...

really?! That's good to know! thanks for the correction.
I never heard of anyone selling brackets. Well, I do now.

OP, let us know how things end up! that fx35 projector sounds cool.

Cool

so far i think it will be a pretty interesting setup since i havent seen anyone this mod if so i havent found them i sent luxury mods a email and the never wrote me back. Actually im still kinda wondering if i should just try to do it myself i have the resource but unsure if i have the precision to make the brackets to exacting standards. If all else fails i will give it a shot. Oh yeah the main reason i didnt do the tsx or e46 is because i need a good bi-xenon projector because i am ditching my fog lights and putting 3000k in my hi beam and im going rewire it so my highs cut on when i actuate my fog light and the projector cut off opens when i hit the high beam switch. i have my hands full!

I haven't seen an fx-r in person yet but one question, are you sure that it's going to fit our headlight? Things are cramped in there to say the least.

Yeah they are pretty cramped that why i went with the fx-r its a fx projector modded with a more clear lens and modded housing so the its easier to mock up and mount in virtually any setup!
