    Considering that it's going to be a 100% custom mount that you will have to hand fabricate, get whichever ones you like

      Here you go:


      You can give my HID thread a look, too for some ideas but it's on a single (pre) headlight.

            Glad you found my write-up useful. Uno's Project "I wear my sunglasses at night" was done on a Post Kat, though. It's definitely worth reading, especially since you've got a Post.

              I'll be doing this soon on my 2002. I'm getting parts from The Retrofit Source and will be using the Morimoto Minis. They are a smaller projector with a good light pattern so mounting won't be terribly difficult. I've gone through those guys several times in the past and had great luck with them and their customer service. Another forum that I'm a member of has done 9 group buys with them so far and is trying to get another off the ground. If you want to get in on the group buy for the discount, send me a message and I'll tell you how to go about it.

                Just dont get the cheap projectors from ebay like other people around here do, the light pattern is awful.

                Myself, I'm partial to the Acura and Infiniti units. They look great and focus well.

                  The TL's and FX-R projectors are pretty nice but you might have some trouble stuffing them into a motorcycle headlight (not saying it can't be done, but it'll be tight). Morimoto makes a smaller projector that's easier to mount and still has a very nice light pattern. Google Morimoto Mini D2S (or the H1) or Morimoto Matchbox Projector.

                  BTW, if you like the Acura and Infiniti projectors, you should check out the S2000 and LS460 projectors. The light pattern from either one of those is insane!

                    I had a set of S2000 units and got rid of them they were fantastic...

                    The TL pattern isnt as good, but I like the big bug eyed look There's enough room for them in my headlight housing, I've just lost motivation on the project for the time being.

                      I'm torn between suspension and lighting... I think I'm going for suspension and will upgrade to Morimoto H1 projectors next summer.

                          If you want a baseline, check out theretrofitsource.com. They sell complete kits or any of the individual parts and pieces but, if you know what you're buying, you can piecemeal a kit together on your own and possibly save some money.

                            Yup, and when you do buy your projectors make sure they are the actual OEM equipment, not the chinese knockoffs that are cheap replacements.
