I'm thinking of retrofitting those Bosch mini H3 projectors into the fog light housing and removing the shield for my high beams (HID lows would always stay on). Do you have any opinion on that paul?

I've heard from the folks on Hidplanet that the Bosch mini H3's make only so-so fogs, and terrible hi-beams. The problem is, in removing the shield entirely, the light cant be focused at all and by the time the scattered light is through the projector lens, it's so dispersed that it's practically unusable. That's why bi-xenon projectors only raise the shield, to move the cutoff upward and allow more light to be focused in a forward pattern, with any projector if you remove the shield completely, the light output pattern tends to suck. Everyone on Hidplanet is fairly unanimous that if you use single-xenon low beam, you should go with reflectored halogen hi-beam.
