So this is my first time attempting a retrofit. I have 08 headlights and TSX projectors.
Let's get started...


Driver's side 08 headlight

baking headlight at 225 deg

Finally got the headlight apart after alot of prying

Comparing the tsx with the stock projector

What had to be trimmed

what had to be trimmed 2

what had to be trimmed 3

what was used to mount the projector and level it out in the projector

tsx mounted in the headlight

mounted 2

back of headlight

I still have some trimming to do before I can seal up the light and then on to the passenger side. I will post mounted and wall shots once im done. To be continued.....

A little off topic, but when are the angel eyes for 08 models coming out? I heard oznium is making them.

s2k will involve alot of trimming, here is a 08 retro with s2k's http://high-intensity.org/forums/showthread.php?t=553

yup and a lil expensive too.. but i'll see how it goes. I dont think its much deference though when it comes too light output

megrog2

so you replaced a projector with a projector...

You should have done the retrofit on my 05 headlights and given me your 08's!!!

that is pretty nice but before taking the shield out, you should've marked with lines where the shield was. That way, you can align those marks with the tsx shield and that'd save you time on the aiming process since they already match the stockie ones. Anyways, looks good man. I'd trim the ears on the left side and use the lower mounting hole.

I have an 07 so but being that this is my first retrofit the 08 headlights are easier to bolt in another projector

There is nothing to mark on with the projector out the headlight the, hole is pretty big.

striker_1818

yes it is. Whiteout helps to mark it on the black brackets ;)
But you can always go the difficult way andd get amore accurate aiming. Do not rebake your headlights to put the lense back onto the headlight housing until it is well aligned otherwise it will be a pain to bake and rebake and re-rebake lol

The black brackets are are no where near the projector hole on the shrod to mark, the hole is too big to mark on. Looking straight in the projector shroud you won't see the black brackets. I don't intend on sealing the headlight back up until I aim them.
