Xenon/Bi-Xenon Projectors

Post by Eddie. »

So, is it possible on an E21?

This guy has done something similar, by fitting the E30 projectors:

Would it be possible to make just the projector unit fit the E21, as I don't want twin headlights?

To fit Bi-Xenon's would mean using the projectors from an E46, and removing them from the lens, fitting them to the E21 lens and wiring it all up, would this be as simple as some cutting and fitting, or would it require any extensive loom changes? (don't mind doing a little bit of wiring).

I found a thread somewhere on the internet where a guy fitted the E46 Bi-Xenon projectors to his E36 lenses, so presumably the principle is there?

I also know they lens must be correctly sealed, but that's a bridge I'm sure I could cross.
