The best of the best of the best. See sig.
If you are uncomfortable about the idea of cutting your lights apart rendering them useless if you screw up bad enough.....get the Mini H1's that he linked.
If you have a spare set of lights and aren't the kind to get discouraged when things don't go as planned, don't waste your time with those. Get a full size projector like OEM FX with the FXr lenses.
For most people, the Minis are an intermediate step. They help you gain the confidence to do a true retrofit. Most people (on Hidplanet.com) that come in as noobies only keep their minis for a few months before moving on to bigger and better projectors. I skipped that step because I had spare lights and ample time to learn.

Any of these

OEM FX(doesn't come with a clear lens so you need to buy separately)
Bi-xenon: Infiniti FX45 - HID Projectors from The Retrofit Source Inc
Or the replica FX if you want to save some money.
Bi-xenon: FX-R 1.1 - HID Projectors from The Retrofit Source Inc
Or their new E55 replica. I'll admit that this is brand new and I've not seen any output shots but Matt says it's better than the original so I think it's worth a look.
Bi-xenon: Hella EvoX-R - HID Projectors from The Retrofit Source Inc

Or if you want a great deal on a really nice set of projectors, these are the second best bixenon projectors available(some say THE best but I disagree...not that it has anything to do with the fact that I have the reigning king...lol)

Got the suspension installed. Overall drop was about 2 inches. I didn't measure...just a guess.









I also have a brand new, never installed Vic Red SS rear bumper being delivered on Thursday. I assume that it was slightly scratched at the factory. Nothing I can't buff out though. Got it for 300 shipped. Now I just have to find the front and side skirts.

Very nice. I've been looking for an ss rear bumper for my sedan. I personally think that the rear needs the most work

Yup. I'm working on so much stuff all the time. Those have kinda taken a back seat to other projects. Really all I need to do is build a new harness for them and then mount and aim them.

It's easy. Used a hole saw for the bumper and then drilled holes in the bumper support to mount the lights. They came with all the mounting hardware needed.
