OK, random story, me and some friends went to the junkyard today. The guy claims they have no Cl's but i see one on the far side. I was all excited, until i realized that it was stripped of absolutely everything except one headlight. Thats when a forklift approaches us and asks us to move so he can flatten the car. So of course i ask if i could take the headlight, he gave me a nod, and said for you nothing
+1 headlight w/bulbs

 

lol what are you gonna do with just 1 headlight? practice blackhousing maybe?

 

retrofit practice

 

actually and this is going to sound ridiculous but probably both, just to make sure i get it right. practice makes perfect right?

 

awww. The junkyard man loves Chris

 

what can i say

 

nice grab bro!! good luck with practicing blackhousing and the retro!

 

black housing and possible retrofitting today

 

What projector would you be retrofitting?

Did you stay to watch the CL get smashed? I would have

 

hell yeah i stayed to watch it get smashed, it kinda hurt a to watch but it was cool as hell. and im not sure, either a late model integ, or tsx projectors.

 

teg projectors are not hid just so you know

 

alright, thanks. looking like tsx then.. just got to go get some.. which wont be easy..

 

TSX is the way to go, that's what I have for my retro, the cutoff is great

 

TSX projos are the way to go. Your best bet is eBay. About twice a week a set will come on for about $100 - $130. Make sure you get the clear lens TSX projos and not the fresnel lens although the fresnel lens TSX projos are a little cheaper so it's really up to you.

But I think that practicing retrofiting on a seperate light is a GREAT idea. I'll have my DIY by next weekend. It should help a little but there are so many factors when retrofiting so just ask questions when you need to. Good luck!

 

thanks for all the info, im hoping to get all this done asap, im not sure if i will blackhouse it maybe REDhouse it. just have to see how it looks on the test light.

 

just buy one more headlight. it will be cheap and do both

 

Just find another used light
