Let me check the ones I have at home, what size are the projectors? I've been trying to find smaller ones and always end up with ones too large. Pretty sure I have a pair that big.

The halo in the pic is 10" around? Not to be an ***, but I would check your measuring tape.

It is measured in Diameter not circumference. If you have a 10" circumference that means you have a diameter of about 3.14" (3.18 to be exact) converted to mm that means you need a 80mm CCFL

You can get them from plenty of placed. The Retrofit Source has some new LED style ones that are way brighter than CCFLs. They are xB led halos.

Give them a call. You'll probably talk to Andrew or Matt and ask if they have any. I know they have before. They're both great guys and are very helpful.
