Second HID Retrofit (TSX) (56k unfriendly)

[LE05]

finally got around to doing my second retrofit... here are a few pics. don't really have a lot of in process pics though, forgot to take them:









sorry for some of the blurry pics! i'm bad with a camera i'll get some better shots when i get them on the car within the next few days.

pics of the old retrofit and my car are here: finally, pics of my ride!

[LE05]

[clarkgrizwald]

/\ totally understand that. what about selling me the messed up ones? are they fixable maybe? btw lets see some pics of them on the car and output pics! im excited to see them! get to work!! lol.

[clarkgrizwald]

btw what do you have going on in the turn signal? it looks blue?

[JustAnotherAsian]

which projectors are those?

the black bowl shroud is especially nice. it's a nice change from the chrome ones.

nice job so far.

they're fixable, but it'll take a lot of work... not really worth it in my opinion. trust me, i'm just as excited to get them back onto my car. i'll have them on my car in a couple more days... just finished putting back together the drivers side. i just have to figure out a way to seal the back of the projector now.

silverstar signals! as you can see, i'm a fan of silverstars they look bluish, but light up orange.

they are TSX projectors (its in the thread title!). thanks for the comments!

[clarkgrizwald]

[liquidi3ladz]

Where'd you get the bezels?

[thapranksta]

Yeah, those are nice bezels. I like it a lot. What are they? Range cover with chrome flange?

i posted a link to the lamp replacement guide in the other thread... it has all the bulb types and numbers.

actually, they're part of a malibu stake light from lowes + the chrome bezels from hidplanet:


i took the bottom half and trimmed it to fit the projectors/bezel and then painted it flat black.

[thapranksta]

hidplanet chrome bezel = hardware store chrome flange

I've heard of those malibu lights before on hidplanet. Like I said before, looks really good. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Fantastic and very clean fabrication!

The headlight's reflector bowl looks completely different...great work btw. Sorry i forgot, but what were you running before? IF you don't mind opinions, i'm gonna go out on a limb and say, i;m not feeling the black shroud. I think it would look much better in a polished or chrome look. The black kind of makes it look a bit too plain, unless you wanted the stealthy look. I've been in the process of a revision of my 1st retro for a couple months now, just need to find a good source for my a custom shroud. Again good job.

I'd redo my retro but I'm broke and whenever I get money (if I get money), I've got a few other things in mind like my VERY LONG awaited wheels/tires.
