After installing these, I can't believe I ever used a PnP kit!

cool dude..the cut-off is like all over the place...Looks cool...I wanna do a Retrofit too someday..

JBGsTC

TSX projectors are notorious for that flare, plus my camera sucks. I spent like 2 hours adjusting them. You should definitely do a retro man, I went from a HID kit to this and I will NEVER put a kit in another car again. It costs to buy all the stuff to do the retro, but it's worth it IMO.

very nice!! so how much did you spend on the entire project?

chicotunner07

sweet, similar to mines

did you use a DIY shroud like i did as well?

JBGsTC

I used E46 BMW Single Xenon Shrouds, painted them gloss black.

I had about $500 in everything, but I didn't have to buy ballasts.

my flair isnt that bad...i cut a piece of o-ring and put it under the right side of the bulb...ill get some pics up tonight. but mind are rotated downward on the left side i didnt aim correctly...im redoing them soonn

krazyscion

very NICE!

the cutoff on the 08's rn't bad either...
but me like this one!!

too lazy to do retrofit

chicotunner07

^^yeah its very time consuming especially when ur aiming them since you have to take off ur bumper, i swear i removed my bumper like 6 time when i was doin mine........

Looks good man. But I'd probably just buy a made one too, instead of doing it myself. Nice job!

JBGsTC

I'm going to mess with the bulb spacing this weekend to see if I can get any of that flare out.

As far as buying a pre-made set, people are charging $$$$ for them.

bembowe

looks very good. very similar to mine. I used the same shrouds and painted them gloss black as well. it makes the headlight look aggressive. I cant stop admiring mine.

JBGsTC

haha, that makes me feel better, I've parked my car across the office every day since they've been done so I can just look at them...

rvpps2rocks

i say when your dropped on hotchkis the bolt on the inside of the fender behind the fender line is the hardest to take out

JBGsTC

Yeah that bolt does suck, I thought it was even harder to get back in place! (I'm dropped on s-techs)

Very nice retrofit! Actually to all retrofits. I think that's going to be my next mod after I got my in dash DVD/GPS unit. Not sure if you posted it but what brand HID's are you running?

JBGsTC

Clear Lens color-modded TSX projector, Philipps 85122+ bulbs, and Hella Gen 3 knockoff ballasts from my PnP HID's I had in before the retro. You should definitely do a retrofit, the light output is insane. If you need any help or have any questions just let me know and I'll do my best to help you out.

^ Ok. Thanks!
