If you are talking about retrofitting and then putting the lens from the 02-03 headlights onto a 04-05 style housing, I've thought about it, but never tried it. I was thinking about trying the opposite. Putting 04-05 lenses onto 02-03 housings.
I searched but didnt find anything. I like the 04+ ctr projector style headlights but I like my 02 headlights better for some reason. I don't like the outline bubble shape in the lense of the 04+. So that brought me to the conclusion of retro fitting my 02's, painting them, hid, led signals etc. So has anyone else done it yet? I wanna prap as much as I can and research what projector will fit the best, tsx comes to mind at the moment. So any advice before I start would be awesome, and when I start on it here soon, I'll defiantly do a walkthrough and take pics. Thanks nick

No im thinking about putting a projector into the 02-03 housing and leaving the rest the same. Paint it and hid it. But is that outline bubble shape part of the lense on the 04+?
the parts aren't interchangable between the 2 headlight styles (lenses, shroud trim, turn signal area, etc).
And yes people have put projectors in the 02-03 headlight style.

It has been done...I think it was ocleris or something like that who did it.
I believe the member 'paulmofyourhand' successfully retrofitted some bi-xenon projector's into his 02/03 headlight's.
Hmm I would love too see how their's turned out. I've sourced out most of the parts I wanna use. 3 day weekend coming up I may just go for it. I really wanna see what they used to seal up the back of the projector after they were done..
Best of luck on your retrofit!
Post pic's of your progress/final product.

Yum, what shrouds are those? E46? The audi a better unit than the tsx? I found some tsx with a better lens for a good price so that's thing i need to decide on.I have some questions but I'll just PM you if you don't mind.. Thanks for the post up those look great..
Here's how john's tsx retro looked without the fg shroud.
this makes me want the 04-05 bubble lense on my 02-03 headlights, surely someone has done it right?
PM Moogen, he's the mastermind of 02-03 retorfits actaully. I just traded non-HID 04-05 JDM projectors for them.
