lltysonll

lltysonll

Looks really clean. My S2K retrofit into my 07 housing is a real mess. LOL. How'd you clean off all that grey glue thing around the housing edge? Just scrape it off?

lltysonll

thats not my housing thats off a civic forum had to show something to a previous poster.

but to your question i used a heat gun heat the glue up and wipe off with a warm cloth and some goo gone worked for me .

have any pictures of your s2k retro?

Yanki01

LOL i've been working on it for the last couple months. First time I didn't have the correct shroud that would fit. And now one of them has condensation in it. I have to wait til it gets warmer to redo it. Right now its still snowing outside.

lltysonll

throw a silica gel pack somewhere and reseal it will help alot with condensation. i had them in my retro but just re sealed them really well and no more condensation.

lltysonll

what shroud you using?

Yanki01

i was forced to open them up to do this because we had a bad rain storm where it rained non-stop for 2 days. i had standing water inside one of them. at least about 10oz of water when i dumped it out. after doing research on what i should use, DAP kwik seal plus did the trick for me, also threw about 7-8 silica pacs in each headlamp. i have yet to see any condensation or water at all.

Just ordered 10 5gram silica gel packs from ebay. Did you use double sided tape to place them in the housing?

lltysonll

yeah i used double sided tape

man if i was you id hold on to those s2k for a while they are already rare and expensive but the best in terms of output and sharpness etc.

LOL I plan on keeping them for a while. Theretrofitsource is developing S2K like lenses that are suppose to be better than the originals.

lltysonll

really might have to check it out if my retros dont sell
wonder if its the same size as tsx lenses

question does the lense or housing make a difference in the light output (brighter) more intense

I'm not sure if the housing makes a difference. I think the ballast or the bulb does. Not sure though.

lltysonll

not sure its the bulb or ballast bc the tsx ones are low compared to TL & s2k ones

makes me think its the lens.

Wouldn't a 55w ballast be more brighter than a 35w ballast?
