I will be ordering parts for a retrofit soon and like the e46-r. anyone know if they fit?
Just going by the pics, they looked like they would need the least amount of modification to fit, and I liked the way they looked best. They flow with the car better than any of the others IMO and I was going for an "OEM" appearance

I stuck E46 BiX's in mine. Fit is very tight. no space for larger ones. I would wonder how our stock lights are even legal their that bad.

There are cars out there with much narrower headlights than ours.

my friend has a set of e46's, and the fx-r's are much longer/wider/etc... After seeing his I wish I had used them lol.

there was a lot of chopping involved to fit the fx-r's.

my next set I'm going to be using the TL-R bixenons which are even larger lol.

I've become addicted to seeing where I'm going at night

The problem for me is the E46's are as tall as i can go. I already had to install cranks for the front clip to pull it down. getting the E46's in was enough of a fight. I had to move them to the highbeam spot to even make it work.

If one day i find a set with the same height as the E46's and a better spread I might get around to changing them.

Nice setup. Here is my recent retrofit with acura TSX projectors and e46 shrouds into brand new headlights.
