Size of projector inside headlight?

Do any of you guys know how big it is? i'm looking to replace that POS one that comes with the headlights with the Hella projector made to handle HID and its 90mm just wanna make sure it fits and whatnot.

If anyone knows please let me know.

TIA

I actually took mine apart and measured the housing. I ended up using BMW X5 projectors and they fit perfectly. The size of my projectors where actually the same size as the X5's. They are a perfect fit!
My housing dimensions were:
Height 115mm
Width 120 mm
Length 140mm

The actual diameter of the projectors were about 70mm the same size as the X5 projectors. They fit perfectly.

The diameter of the Hellas are 50mm. You would have to fabricate those to fit. They do fit. You can make them fit!

I'll post some pics soon.

The dust cap is 90mm. The actual size of the projector lense is 50mm.

Good luck finding a set of BMW projectors. Anyone that has them wants 200 U.S. or more.
Here's a OEM HID data base and dimensions for some cars. Just make sure you get the right size for your car!

Well since everyone seems to be saying the hella projector fits and looks nice I think I will go that route, now just to get a price, around how much should I be paying for it? I heard around 120$ each or something like that?
