Check out LED Gauges and Nathan has what you need. The HID kits come with the modified housings to accept the H4 bulb. This is what I am using and works great.

If you get a D2R or D4R (HID's made for reflector housings) you *may* not need projectors. However, it'll take a guinea pig to see what kind of light output they produce in the TA housing.

I actully work a for a lighting company called Advanced Automotive Concepts(AACstyle.com). We do projector retrofits all the time for high end cars. I plan on buying a spare light soon and doing a retrofit with it and see how it looks. I'll keep everyone updated on it.

If anyone has a complete spare light willing to donate it LMK, LOL
