BTWm let me teach you another way to colormod these projectors after the washermod:
Step 1:
Get that metal stuff from a 16-18ga wire or just get some cardboard and cut it rectangularly as shown here. This is also called a cardboard spacer in case you wanna look it up on hidplanet



Step 2:
Put it on the right side of the projector bulb holder



Step 3:
so you can see, what i actually did was (and also because the camera is a 2mp cameraphone) i flipped the rectangular shaped "spacer" to show the back since it's white and will be seen perfectly fine placed on the bulb holder. I did this because the black spacer will hide underneath the black base of the bulb thus causing some confusion as to what's going on but anyways here it is:



Step 4:
Place the bulb into the bulb holder and secure it tightly, fire it up and you're good to go.

If you're not comfortable modding your projectors, please it is advised to take it to a professional and have it done there.

Washer mod on tsx projectors will result in these(notice the flares):



Colormod to eliminate the flares will result in these:

I don't think that I am going to color mod mine, I like the sharpness better then all the color. I am coming up with a better way to mount the projectors also when I get my dremel I'll post the brackets that Im gonna make.

you should use the stock projectors and retrofit them to the highbeams.


otherwise good luck, ill be watching

sweet. i love the clean output.

megrog2

I used nylon spacers to even out the projector in the housing, but right now im working on a mount out of sheetmetal for the top and bottom of the project to get it mounted level rotation wise. I'll post pics

Stock projectors are wack, taking out the low beams is less fabrication work for me.

If you don't put the stock projectors into the highbeam location, I say this is a waste.

megrog2

The stock projectors have horrible output compared to the tsx projectors. TSX is wider, brighter, and made for HID's. Aestics wise it may looks nice, but im going for better output.

The stock projectors are fine, yes I agree that the TSX are better, but you have the lights opened and you have an extra set of projectors. You might as well retrofit those into the high beams for even better functionality.

megrog2

hmm, I'll just stick to the stock high beams. Barely use them anyway.

faran_r87

any luck with it yet?

Don't be scared, just be aware of your surroundings.
