That is a lot of work for putting a square peg in a round hole.

You make your own bloody kit with a nice lense.
Or wait for one of our own to finish the adapter:

I've been running this since sometime in the spring and the kit is great. Light output is HUGE compared to OEM projectors with HID bulbs. Having optics designed specifically for Bi-Xenons is a massive improvement. I do half my driving in the dark and it is a killer setup. TL or E90 levels of light. Heck, with my fogs on constantly and bi-xenons plus halogen brights I could probably outgun anything short of aircraft landing lights.-Christian
