Haha, no way I'm posting cutoff pics... The projos are mounted upside down. Another reason why I have to take them appart.

once you take off the bumper its very hard and annoying to put it back on the right way.

Yeah, I had to put the bumper back on myself... Used boxes to hold up one side while I try to secure the other. Wasn't fun at all.

looks good. color matched shrouds arent really my thing. too much dark makes it look less oem to me.

you can hardly tell w/the ambers. Did u put boxes under the drivers side while you put in the passenger side? cuz the passenger side looks like a better fit than the drivers lol.

I don't know if it's just me.. but with nearly every projector retro on here, the projectors look like they're facing away from each other, so the front looks kind of googly-eyed.

They point forward, where the front end of the car slopes in on angles Mine look straight when you're looking straight at the car

The projos look good and all, but looking at your car, reminds me of an accord.

Those pics don't do it justice.

Haha, actualy, I'm thinking of keeping now. I have a little mod plan for it.


BTW, this is why I have to redo the retrofit...

My CL cutoff on left (6000k), bro's TL cutoff on right (4,300k).




This really sucks...

^^ Haha, you have to flip that little "blinder" piece. I don't know the correct name for it. We did that on a friends retrofit. The lens flips the light upside down and we had it on the top. Other than that, congrats on the new headlights. They look pretty good.

Thanks. Yeah, that's exactly what happened... I mean, It would make sense that the cutoff sheild goes on top right. I can't believe none of you guys told me the the lens inverts it!

i thought you would noticed from the original headlights that you had to hack up, how the reflectors are positioned, how it's flat at the bottom so to not reflect any light
but either way, you're almost done, and have tried doing a mod that only a few members on here have sucessfully completed themselves (to my knowledge)
i'd say pat yourself on the back for it only being upside down, everything else works
but that pic is so hilarious dude
...you didn't use them at all like that did you?

Nah, like most people, I just bought the projectors. Never had the original TSX headlights.
Yeah, but I have to hack them up again and refab the shrouds and backing and need a new reflector housing...
Haha, yeah, I guess it's a little funny..
Actualy, when I first hooked them up and found out that they were upside down, I just said "Fuck it..." and went to bed. The next day I forgot to unplug the HIDs so I couldn't turn the lights on and night came so people were flashing me to turn on my lights. I thought, what the heck right? So I turn them on for a little while and then people start flashing me to turn them off!
