If you use a common projector like the tsx there are mounting brackets available from Luxurymod(I think?) which makes the retrofit super easy. It bolts up to the stock adjusters and allows you to use those to align the projector.

How level the cutoff will be is based on how the projector is mounted. Its not hit or miss if you take the time to adjust the rotation properly.

When I first heard about the mounting brackets I was in shock myself, retrofitting without the headaches. Well, at least you're doing it the old fashioned way

I guess it's going to take a bit more time and delicacy being unable to use the stock adjustment bolts

So what is bi xenon? Is it just like a shield that makes one HID into a High and Low beam by blocking some of the light? or am I missing something?

bixenon projectors are motorized projectors that can act as both low and high beam

Why would you need that in a car that has separate high beams?

The HID high beam is better than halogen. Most cars that come with oem bi-xenon don't have a separate high beam.

Well my initial plan was to have my high and lows in the same housing (reason for bi xenon) remove my fog lights and replace my inner light with 3k hid kit and hard wire those lights either in with my bi-xenon hi out put only or do a separate wire configuration! I bought some new headlights from japan im going redo and cut out all the errors but dont worry this will be well documented!
