I don't have any cutoff pics but it is very sharp and bright.
Got this done by HID ILLUSIONZ of New York and they did a great job.
Email Rich, retrofit@hidillusionz.com for any questions regarding pricing and details

 

Looks effin sweet, but i would have painted the chrome around the projector gunmetal as well since it kinda looks like its surrounded by tin foil right now. Nevertheless, a very clean car. I love everything about it. Would you mind telling how much the retrofit cost? Did you supply your own parts to them? What all did you need to give them?

 

Wow, those look so good!!

 

shit looks nice!! very well done.

 

sweet!

id be interested in how much it ran you also. ny aint too far

 

is it possible to be done for the 99-01?

 

so clean, thats some quality work right there

 

 

you should email them. i'm sure they can.

 

Clean.

 

ecaf. pm me the cost of these

 

Just emailed Rich at HID Illusionz about pricing. Waiting for a response now. ill let you guys know what happens.

 

this is sweet....i would want the corner painted too tho.... but still looks dope.... 99-01 holla .. ill get em if it were up for grabs..

 

ya that looks awesome. good job.

 

theres a possibility for groupbuys on the blog/site they have

 

I got a quick response from Rich:

"Thanks for taking interest in our retrofitting service. I am assuming that
the Type S comes with stock HID's? If so, this will eliminate having to
purchase at least one set of HID kit. So if you wish to purchase all parts
from us, you are looking to spend about $1270 plus return shipping. This
will include labor, OEM FX35 bi-xenon projectors, clear lens color mod
conversion, TSX projectors, 2 pairs of shrouds, a pair of brand new OEM
Matsushita gen 3 ballasts, a pair of brand new OEM Philips D2S bulbs, and
direct plug and play relay wiring harness. If you wish to provide your own
parts, our labor on a quad HID projector setup is $450 plus return
shipping."


I inquired about a dual projector setup but he didnt answer that part so I suspect a dual projector setup similar to ecaf005s would be about half of that price. Hope this helps.

 

thanks everyone, i'll respond to all the PMs with more details. I didn't have to ship my headlights because Rich was willing to meet up locally. The parts I needed for my setup were a pair of SC430 projectors (upgrade over the tsx projectors), shrouds, and bulbs...you can purchase through him or supply your own parts. He'll also paint the headlight housing and do the color mod for free with the retrofit job.

I'm pretty sure the 99-01 headlights won't be a problem as he works on all model cars...check out his other site with more pics and youtube links:

The light output with these retrofits is great!

 

Looks great! They did an awesome job. Love how the paint looks kinda brushed and soft.

Woulda been a little cleaner if he had painted the reflector behind the shroud and more of the corners gunmetal as well. Woulda made the projectors stand out a bit more with the contrast, while hiding the corners a little bit since all the chrome kinda makes them pop out too much.

Got me motivated to start mine. Just need shrouds and school to be over so I can have the time and the project shall begin

 

Oh one more thing! Get output pics up!!

 

thanks for the headsup ecaf. i appreciate it man, im def not able to budget that out tho, at least this year. guess ill just be jealous for a while lol.

x2 on the output pics!

 

Sweet! I plan on doing the quad setup soon with mini projectors for the fogs.

 

long overdue cut off pics:

 

damn that's a nice retro fit... but a grand? damn

 

hot damn, sharp as fvck!

 

dude wow.. amazing cutoff

 

Wow, cutoff looks frickin sweeeet...

 

this.

 

bump, need to do some maintence on my subscribed threads

 

The one of the best front-looks i have seen! Sexy retrofit, amazing cut-off, great job! Whats with fogs? Retrofitting too?

 

lol looks just like mine, but I have tsx projectors but same exact shroud. Lemme tell you guys, its a lot of hours doing one of these, its not hard at all but it does require a lot of work and attention to detail. if you cut your shroud too much, you're eff-ed. If you guys have the money, I suggest buying a used pair of headlights, projectors, shroud, and a dremel and try doing it yourself.

 

i am going to do this eventually , but yeah the reason i got a used housing to pratice on first, i can F*** it up and not care (btw it is a factory housing that i got for like $20, very yellowed lense, but it works for my purpose though)

 

Thats what I did as well, I got a pair of headlights that were yellow as can be, after my retro, I put in my stock headlight lens on my retro. Well once I get my car back from the transmission shop my headlights will be on the bm.

 

these projectors ones , if so first dibs at them

 

that looks SO good...
