Good to hear you sold them! I look forward to seeing pics of your newer lights. 
This all has inspired me to start my own retrofit project. I've already ordered TSX projectors, and now I need to find some reasonably priced headlamps.

Could someone tell me where the best place to get good projectors from? I hope there is someplace that sells them besides an Acura dealer...
I would also be very interested if anyone knows about headlight replacements for the Firebird.

You can land some good TSX projectors for around $150-$200

Here is a list of projectors as well as pics of the 03+ TSX unit.

What kind of question do you have about the firebird lights?

The question is if anyone already offers a decent Firebird headlight replacement kit.
Unless it is pitch black, I usually drive with the park and fog lights on, just because I think it looks better than the stock halogen headlamps. I don't really like some non-flip up lights that I believe came on a certain year of the Firehawk, and I saw another pic of some aftermarket non-flip-up lights, but didn't like the look.
I like the new C6 lights, and might be interested if someone offered a similar kit for the Firebird. But really I'd just like a good looking, brighter set of fold-down/flip-up headlights... so I wouldn't be ashamed (and blind) to drive around at night.
I'm interested in making my own set of projector-style headlamps (hence the above question), but it's a fairly low priority, and I would be more likely to just pay for it if I could find something I liked.
...I'm pretty new to this topic and haven't really done any research yet, so excuse my ignorance if I'm missing something that is obvious.

Matt, I posted a whole bunch of stuff here, but decided to start a whole new thread instead. Just go here:

It's been a while since I've messed with the lights so this was a nice way to refresh my memory.

e46 for the record i have e46's fit fine, and they sit slightly farther back in the headlight. There is one downside you need to remove about a 1"x1" square of metal from behind the headlight for the ballast to connect to the bulb.

I could use some info as I'm about to do this myself.
You said you are using TSX Projectors?
Where did you get the cool "cover/housing" the makes everything look nice?
Do you have any pictures of how you mounted yours?
