Theyre not bad, but IIRC they are 3" projectors so it will be a tight fit. If you get them, spend the money on some clear lenses from TheRetroFitSource.com. The stock lenses suck.

The cutoff wont be sharp. You wont get the colors at the cutoff either.
TSX projectors are not $300. You can get a pair of them for half that. The TSX projectors are one of the best projectors on the market.
People with STIs put TSX and S2k projectors in their lights. Keep that in mind

Yeah yours is good, sorry not good great but im not sure how much is the camera, what I mean to say is its hard to compare unless its in the same place with the same camera
But the pics I saw of the STI out put were way better than my out put now, but defintly not as good as yours
from a scale of 1-10 10 being yours 1 being stock CL hids where do you think sti projectors are ?

Well, I wouldnt put the TSX projectors at a 10, but if thats the scale we're using, Id put the stock STI projectors at a 5.5. With the clear lense theyre more like a 7.
If I were to rate my output based on what Ive seen elsewhere, Id put mine at an 8 or so.
Basically, if youre dead set on the STI projectors, get the clear lenses.

IIRC TRS has a special agreement with the manufacturer so they are the only shop to sell them. You can look around the forums though. TRS has their own forum, but it doesnt get updated much. Theres also high-intensity.org and hidplanet.com. Check the Classifieds there. You may even find a better projector.

They may fit, but they weren't optimized for that projector. The curvature has alot to do with output. The ZKWs are great on TL projectors.
If I were you Id be looking for a set of Nissan projectors. They have nice color/output.

If you want something small, cheap, and powerful go with the TSX projectors, unless you can find a cheap set of S2k projectors.

Im done! they look way better that stock which I have always said look really cheap! they are really bright too it not dark out, but from what I can see they are really bright
Im not sure Im going to keep them the way the are because the lens is exposed so it probably going to get chipped but once I figure out a better way to install then I will get new lens

The cutoff is blurry because of the lense.

Check the spacing, You may have installed the bulb incorrectly.

Swap the bulbs between the two, if the blurriness swaps sides then the bulb may be out of alignment.
Are these kit bulbs?
