Here are some pictures about bi-xenon conversion with new style G3 projectors.

How to convert from LHD to RHD:
Dismount the projector's house,remove the solenoid from diaphragm's plate.
42966
Mark the diaphragm's blade on the mirror side and cut a shape from zinc plated metal sheet(ananas conserve's can in my case,but any fruit's will do :p)
Solder it to cover the original diaphragm and grind out the marked shape.

42979
Fit everything on his place,very carefully,the smallest imprecision will presult problems in proper working.Is a PITA job.
42975
42974
increase th H1 slot to 22mm and rasp a canal on the bottom/right for angel eyes and solenoid wires,similar as it already have the H7 slot.
42969
42965
42976
Fit the projectors and test them well before the lenses will be fitted.
42967
42973
42978
I've used a 5 pin relay+ a switch on the dash to connect the angel eyes/sidelights.This will result that when the sidelights are on the angel eyes off and inverted.

The problem I've experienced with this projectors was,that they are bigger like the G1 type what Tomasz used,due this think,must be modified the plastic fitted to the lens as well to don't obstruct the levelling.
I work out two methods for this,first to heat the plastic with a gun and give a concave shape on the bottom,or cut from the bottom the projector's shadow.The first method is not the best.

That's good write up Csaba!
Blade diaphragm modification - why I didn't think about that way...? /Hissy
Nevermind. I can see from pictures that your G3 lenses have massive shadow pattern cut off. That I got are more subtle, but anyway, still doable.
Yes, I approached that levelling problem but wasn't bothered investigate further as I was pushed off by diaphragm blade issue. Have you considered to cut off little bottom that plastic black insert? If you paint with black matt stock reflectors it's almost unvisible.

The Mini Stage III Kit (H1) Is pretty easy to install as a single Projector solution. You could quite easily use 2 sets for 2 projectors per headlight.

There is a guide on OzVR4 for doing this.

If you already have HID bulbs/balasts you can get just the projectors, which is cheaper.
To get one set of projectors, bulbs, balasts and wiring is ~$400NZD.

I have done the full Mini Stage III kit for mine. One day I might get another and go with 2 projectors for each headlight, but at this stage I am happy with just the 1.
