Where to find bixenon projectors for HID retrofit?
I've noticed many of you have grafted bixenon projectors from acuras, audis, bmws, mercs, etc. I'm wondering, where did you find these projectors? Being in Canada, you simply won't find any at salvage yards. They are removed and sold long before anyone can get to them.
They used to be relatively available on ebay, but they've darn right disapeared or become outrageously expensive within the last year.
Where are you guys finding bixenon projectors?

As for HIDplanet, I was hoping to pick up used/cheap projectors. I already have a set of Phillips HID's from a previous HID retrofit ready to go so I only need the projectors. If I didn't already have the bulbs/ballasts, the HIDplanet route would be the obvious one. To be honest, their Audi/Porsche kits are pretty reasonable considering it's all new components.

Try www.car-parts.com...you might be able to get an entire headlight for cheap...just get one that is crappy on the outside (the actual glass) but good on the inside. This is a database of a bunch of junk yards nationally...I'm sure someone will ship to you in Canada.

Now it's time to wrap my head around the wiring. I've gone through some of the wiring diagrams on that site. The biggest problem is, some of them are just plain wrong, and admittedly so by the posters. By any chance, does anyone know if the 4th gen is a positive switch or ground switch 9004 setup?
