Message	worst comes to worst, I'm out $100 for the E55 projectors, and I'll just use the projectors from an SC430, S2000, or (most liekly) TSX. I'm not ruling out dremelling out or even totally removing the stock bezel and making a new one to fit the bigger projector. With some of the crazy retrofits I've seen, I don't think it'll be too difficult for this project. It'll fit under the glass for sure, and the very most it'll take will be a new shroud. I figure its just some time, which i've got - grad school in jersey allows for lots of that :-) ********************************************************* Joe Sport 530bb/Inconel AIM: hoyatiger81 510rwhp/520rwtq at 23 psi "You probably never even got you hands dirty working on a car.
