Yep, he's right. I didn't go with a kit. I pieced mine together from parts pulled from OE equipped vehicles.
I picked up my parts on the classifieds at hidplanet. If you look in the "university" section of their forums, they have dimensions and specs on all the different projectors available and what vehicle they came off of...
(Just click here)...Take a look at the different sizes and see if you can find a pair that will fit into the space you are working with in your headlight. The TSX's are pretty easy to work with and they have one of the best cutoff's.
Here are the specs on the TSX projector:
Acura TSX Low Beam (Stanley):
Diameter = 71.05mm
Height = 85.30mm
Width = 120.80mm
Length = 156.45mm
Length(seat of the lens to mounting holes) = 42.00mm
Length(mounting holes to end of bulb) = 96.95mm
Width(between top mounting holes) = 100.45mm
Width(between bottom mounting holes) = 103.45mm
Height(between mounting holes) = 41.50mm
