Here is a thread on Bi-Xenons, talk to "dchou" on there, he is very experience with the Bi-Xenon setup.

Yes it's to big for the high beam, maybe the low beam, but not to sure.
Anyways just took these today (saturday)

S2k projectors are still the most expensive, they are also really long which causes problems in a few applications. TSX projectors are almost on par but they are much cheaper and a little shorter. I'll probably use TSX projectors when I do my retrofit, although I did like the E46 hella Bi-xenons I used in my v6 accord. The cutoff wasn't as pretty as a TSX projector, but if someone high beamed me, they got to know what xenon head on felt like

i liked the bigger projectors like the e55 and ls430 ones, the e46 ones looked good too, the tsx ones look smaller maybe its just the shroud i want a good cutoff though for sure??? i know nothing, im just here to get info so im not unhappy with the results when i do, do it.

I like the e-class shrouds as well, but no point in spending money on them (IMO) if you are just going to paint them black. HIDplanet has some pretty sweet examples of homemade shrouds
However, I wouldnt buy the shrouds from hidtech, they are cheaper on ebay
