xenon (single xenon) projector = only low beam can be used. the shield does not have a motor and cannot move.

my clear lense tsx's are definitely more intense and a little wider(not by much)
but yout sharpness and color blow mine aout of the water!
j0hnBlaze : i did my retrofit on my own and in parts came out to about 200 dollars (once i sold my second set of headlights) and ballasts and bulbs that i already had, so this can be a fairly inexpensive mod if you put alot of elbow grease! but if someone asked me to do it for them, i would charge a hell of alot since its sooo time consuming

i meant intensity in the overall width, the tfx seen to focus all intesity towards the center!
i would be hard to judge by pics, since its always a different story in person!
(i might be doing a retro on my pops 02 tacoma with murano bi-xenons with retrofitsource clear lenses! cant wait)

Yanki, lights look LEGIT! I've always been a fan of proper HID retrofits. I personally wanted to do it, but I couldn't justify 1k in parts. =( I went the cheapass pnp method which isn't very great compared to my sisters tsx or dad's g35.

yea, Lightwerkz (Ceasar) just posted these he finished. I like the angel eyes sooooo much on these. I decided not to get them because i didnt want too many wires back there. I had a hard enough time finding a spot for my ballast and didnt want more wires but these look hawt minus the painted shroud and sidemarker. I like to keep it stock with the amber and shroud chrome....
