Well, I sold the TSX retrofit HIDs (too much $$$ to say no). If I had to do it again, I would buy spare headlights first, so I'm not rushed, but they cost too much (even if you sell the old ones afterwards). So it may be sometime, before I run this setup again.
It appears that Nissan only makes one combination headlight for both Halogen and Xenon applications. The big difference is the bulb spacer/attachment hardware. The halogen has a standard twist in bulb holder, whereas the Xenon has a standard spring clip D2S bulb holder and backing cover plate. Any 3/4th Gen Mats/Panasonic ballasts should fit in the bottom recess under the headlight (need bulb holders with integrated starters).
Here is a link to the final TSX projector results:

Having realized that the same headlight (and I suspect same projector) is used for both halogen and xenon apps, I decided to try adding a H11 HID conversion (rebased bulb) kit. The ballast won't fit in the recess under the unit, but there are many others easy to access places to attach it.
As most people know, I'm a big advocate for complete retofits with projectors designed for HIDS. Having said that, the beam pattern is more narrow than the TSX projectors, but doesn't produce much, if any, glare. Certainly usable, albeit not as high end looking as the TSX retrofit. The bulbs I used came from VelocityGetter and the xenon capsule sat 0.5 mm too far into the projector. Didn't produce glare, but produced almost too much color. My camera seems to have a hard time capturing the color and violet flash effect that the human eye sees. Anyhows... here's the pics:
