They looked good, but they weren't my style.  So I replaced the amber reflector with a clear one and blackhoused them.  I will try to find some pictures of other retrofits to show you.

Here you go.

Thanks! Time to start saving. I think those look really nice. Those are A4 shrouds, right? What is a good projector to use? Has anyone tried to do the AFS. I like it a lot. My moms car has it and the lights just follow the road. I doubt it would work with out a lot of serious work. I guess I need to start collecting parts, I need to do a little bit more research though.

^Those are true E46 shrouds.  Best projector at least in my opinion is the S2k's. Check out the pics of my old retro's and cutoff pics on the first page. The guy I sold me retro's to is selling some S2k projectors on v6p I think. His screen name is bluesolara.

Im about to go look at those, thanks for the suggestion. *edit* they sold

Ok, so here is my thinking:
Projectors- S2k, depending on how much they cost or TSX because they dont seem to expensive.
Shrouds- E46R shrouds
wiring harness-?
bulbs-?
ballasts-?

Somebody want to help me fill in the blanks?

Those are BMW E46 shrouds I think.  They are definitely not A4 shrouds.  I just pulled the picture from HID Planet.

Good luck with getting any sort of AFS system to work with your car.  I think you're in over your head on that one.  Considering that you'd have to integrate the AFS system from another car from another manufacturer, and then get it to read information from you ECU, it's just not a practical modification.  Those AFS systems factor in all kinds of variables (like speed, how much you're turning, braking) that would be determined by information coming from the ECU.  I'm sure it's possible, but not worth the effort.

As far as your list goes, here's what I would recommend.

Projectors:  S2000 > TSX (but also consider FX35's if you want Bi-Xenon)
Shrouds: whatever floats your boat
Wiring Harness:  custom made and highly suggested (I make them if you're not good at wiring and soldering)
Ballasts: Hella/Philips Gen3 are plentiful
Bulbs: Philips 85122+ D2S

Yeah I figured it would be just about impossible.

Would THIS be a good place to start?

[timot_one]

That's not a bad start, but you can source the parts yourself and probably save some money.

Hey, reminds me of this:

[InFuMoUs]

I like that blue glow...you know what they did to give that effect Rich? I would do something like that, but in like an amber color.

[CrackerTeg]

I read that some people actually paint the shield where others make some weird glowing mechanism that isn't directly mounted in the projector itself because of heat.

[Rich01]

No glow, just the reflection from above lol...It's looks good though. I'll dig through some forums and get back to you about that.

[CrackerTeg]

Here's my retro:
E46 bixenons with ZKW-R swap in the lows
D2S Valeos with TSX-R lens swap in the highs
Crossfire shrouds
Blacked out reflector and housing with clear reflector
egay tinted lenses for that stealth look I've been sporting
DDM 35w 5000k Raptor V1 kits in retro and fogs

Please excuse the quickie cell phone shot. I'll get better ones when its light out.
