this is my 2nd time of doing then gen 3 retro, using tsx clear lense projector, with 2 or 3 years old depo clear headlight.


here it is

you are very correct, it is sad but true a statement.

the most recent repair were the radiator and hoses, $100 for parts and coolant.
but it has good gas milage, 29 to 30 average mix for 25% city and 75% highway.
stickshift, enough torque to get me from point a to point b. just one fun piece of crap to drive around.


here is a wall shot inside my garage with half garage door closed during a sunny noon time.
i noticed the hazziness of the old depo clear headlight lense has taken away all the sharpness and blue color from clear tsx projector.

took me a good 1/2 day on Sunday morning, but took a long time for planning. i ended with 2 small scratch cuts on my left hand fingers.

as far as the gen 3.5 headlight lense, i would recommend getting the gen 3 depot headlight and do a grille conversion. clearing fluted lense never as good as clear headlight lense. i've been there , done it on gen 4 headlights

i've collected some valueable experiences which will make the retro easier and fun.

the one i have is a 2004 -2005 acura tsx clear lense projector, from ebay, market price is roughly around $100 to $150 last time i checked.

there are various low budget projectors that will fit, RX330 AFS is another one
i was trying to fit a LS430 projectors in, but the headlight housing is just tooooo small, about 1" short of height.
