Im really sorry for not being able to input anything to the topic at hand but id like to ask for assistance to retrofit into 03-05 housings.
Ive read countless of threads but I honestly get a headache trying to follow it all. Is there anyone I can shoot some questions to in this thread?

Nut and Bolt method should work. Look it up on youtube, Lightwerkz has a great video on it.

Since the d2s 4.0 served extremely well for my purposes by themselves I could look for a high only option but I could simply get the clear glass upgrade for the outer projector and run low beam hid in those and call it a day. Since the original is a 2.0" the size difference would be an interesting mix and the 3.0" would fill the high beam area nicely.
Going to keep shopping around and see what sticks. Black Friday is coming soon.

So I've got some rx350 projectors inbound and a spare set of OEM housings.
Came across a wiring conundrum however. Since the low beams and high beams are separate circuits I'm guessing I will just have to find the hot wire for activating the high beams and split it for the outer and likewise for the inner so everything comes on at once. I know it will be a tight fit on these but I'm fairly certain there is enough headspace in there for either minis or the d2s 5.0 to hang out with the rx350.
I will be running 35w systems for both. I think if I bumped to 50 I'd start melting stuff at some point.
Glad to be underway on this project and just a few days before black friday too.

only draw back with 50w ballast, the bulbs life is shorter, and you get 20% increase in brightness, must use oem bulbs like osram or philips , they do well with boosted power, also your projector bowls might suffer a little bit. but it takes a long time, unless you use your lights for hours.

Generally for about an hour at a time. Still though the 35w will be fine.

I love my D2S 4.0 housings and Philips bulbs. I have stock high beams still. But been thinking about doing a retro on this as well. I’ll be keeping an eye on this thread.

You should see fine with a quad 35 watt setup.
For the highbeams you can split the output from the OEM connector, no additional relays needed since the solenoids don't have much of a current draw.
These shrouds are probably the slimmest you can fit on a mini-D2S type projector, and at the moment Lightwerkz is the only US source for them SL-1M - Projector Shrouds - Components, it'll be a tight fit installing a D2S in the highbeam reflectors so these shrouds will probably not need any trimming
. Their Black Friday sale will probably start tomorrow (Mon the 25th)

Good to hear those fit in the housing! I'm trying out the rx350 because of the great low beam but the d2s has a great high beam output. Can't wait to see what the 5.0 will do. I'm considering shelling out for the StiR lens for the rx350 setup as well.

I was definitely interested in those shrouds because I knew it was going to be a tight fit for dual 3.0" projectors.

Hey guys. I'm working on my 04. Doing Mini H1 bi-xenon in the low side. And mini HB LED in the hi side. Did any of you guys have issues with the shroud on the hi beams not quite fitting correctly?

try to fit the shroud again after final alignment of the lights, i would trim the shrouds on the projectors if modifications are needed.

Haven't gotten to that part yet but the high beam area is pretty tight. Not sure if the HB can be paired with the shroud mentioned above but it might help.

Lights are on order. Saved a ton but it still hurts the pocketbook.
Ordered all the goodies to build with.
