S2000!!!!

Other than that, I've heard good things about the Infinity ones, and even better things about the E55.

I hope they are all genuine projectors, not replicas (e.g., FXR) because I know some eBay shops do sell replicas.

You may want to hop over to HIDPlanet and they have plentiful of information about light output.

G'd luck with your project.

This company, http://www.auto-electronic.net/hidprojector.htm, makes and sells replicated projectors and The Retrofit Source is their North America distributor. Head over to HIDPlanet and review the rating of TheRetrofitSource.

I have already sold my FXR projectors; still have a pair of H1 TSX projector (replicas); and the Eagle Eyes CCFL projectors (halogen type).

Currently using E46 projector. Although it's not the best projector, but I quite like its light output.

The cutoff will the sharpest on OEM TSX or S2000 projectors. The smaller size of the projector housing makes up for in light intensity. But if you want a projector that will fit the headlight better, get the FX's.

Dunno if these two will be too big or not, but check out the LS430 or Q45 gatling guns.

Try asking around on retrofit forums like HIDplanet.

Also try PMing haknslash, he did an LS430 retrofit on his Highlander a few years ago.

As long as they're OEM factory parts and not replica projectors then that's fine.
