I've seen a lot smaller halogen projectors for fogs of course, but I haven't seen any smaller HID headlamp projectors that I can think of. You mentioned size being an issue, so I just assumed you went with the smallest ones you could find. I haven't been looking into it nearly as long as you though.

On that shelf you can see a set of bosch H3 mini'*. Sure are cute little projectors. Really wide too. Lens is only and inch and a half or so.
"Fiberglass HL back" as in surrounding the projector and having it visible from the front?
Trying to fill in the area around the projector would be a big challenge as well as making it look good with the rest of the HL assembly. No doubt it'd smooth things out nicely, but it'd be hard to duplicate a true chrome look to make it all blend in I would think. It does look decent how you have it sitting now though if that'* what you are intending.
Got plans for projector fogs too?

by fiberglass HL back I mean everything from the glass back, custom. possibily keep some sort of modified HL bracket for ease of mounting onto the car, but other than that, make everything else. Maybe paint the visiable part black or white. (maybe get it color matched to my car)
you can see some photochops I made a long time ago, that sort of simulate the look.

also while I was in the shower I came up with a decent mounting/HL scheme/idea so we'll see how that turns out as it develops
Because everyone loves pictures:
Bosch H3 mini. One lens is clean and the other is dirty. Picture was taken to show how important clean optics are. If you cant tell which is which then I am the wrong person to help you.

Fog light that is currently on my car: (note: for the next 2 pictures the camera settings were the same)

Did some modding to the same fog, this one currently is waiting for me to install it.....

dillcc: If you ever come in contact with E46 shrouds/bezels be VERY careful. You can NOT handle them with your bare hands, you must wer gloves or you will destroy the chrome. Just thought I would give you a warning since most people dont know and end up having to paint them. :?
