Ok so i bought a set of headlights last night for $50. I plan on black housing them but i also want to do projectors. I was wondering what type of projectors would be best and if any projector is better then no projector.

 

tsx projectors are popular amongst this crowd

 

definitly the tsxs. damn quenton black house/projos are gonna look solid on your car. are you gonna still do eyelids?

 

I went through 3 sets of projectors before landing on the TSX's, that's what I recommend, those or e46

 

i think im gonna try without the eyelids. ill probably blachouse the old ones and do tsx projectors on the new.

 

projectors ftw. blackack im gonna pm u soon about the projectors, i would have sooner but the glass on the projo was hella scratched so i need a new one.

 

TSEX ftw

 

Acura TSX projectors.

nothing lest.

it's the best a man can get.

 

The cutoff is so pronounced

 

if you got the cash, S2000 projectors...

OR TSX

 

Hey guys....holla to all my 1st gen acura guys, am kinda new here so am ttying to pay my dues, neways i jus wanted to know if u guys meant buying tsx projection lheadlights and putting them on a CL, can someone put me through pls.

 

search for threads by 97blackackcl

he has a huuuuge picture thread in regards to his retro-fit

(aka tsx projectors in his CL housing)

 

Well there are a lot of other options that have better results than the tsx projectors, however, most likely you'll be running into space issues.

here are a few:

TL projectors (in stock form have almost 2x the foreground output of tsx projectors)
SC430 projectors with either bmw zkw or 300zx lense swap (most likely what I'll be using in my next retro, shatters the tsx output and the cutoff is amazingly much sharper as well)
S2000 projectors: still one of the kings of single projectors, top 3 foreground output and one of the best in terms of width
LS430 projectors ....eh, dont even try...way too large...but arguably the best around

i hate looking at that thread cus it reminds me how lazy i am for not doing it yet. how hard was it for you to do this?? already got HID's wired up and ive already blackhoused them so i can do that easy. got a dremel too....

 

Hey chris..can you post some pics of the back side of your head light I would lke to see at what length you cut the headlight and how did you anchor the projectors after cutting the reflector's....

PLease....

my question is where the hell did u get a set of headlights for $50?!

 

he stole em of course

 

I have a few I can post up later on today, I didn't take a lot of pics of the reflectors out of the housing, but the few I did were lost on a corrupted memory card, and I was so excited to put the headlights back together, I really only have a lot of good pics once they were put back together. However, I have a few that show the proj coming out the back. As for mounting the projector, I used quiksteel to mount the proj right to the reflector so that I could still use the stock adjustment functions. The hole I cut was pretty small, since the wider part of the projector is sitting inside the reflector and mounted to it

 

This guy around the corner had two cl's and wrecked both. And had some extra parts.
