hey kaloown. u said theres a smaller one for 54 bucks. whats the difference between the smaller one and the one u got? they both swtich back right? just the smaller one isnt as bright?
if i were to do this (probably plan to clear headlights in xmas, then get these later on) do u recommend the smaller ones or the one u got? i got 6k headlights/fogs and nokya artic white drl, if that makes any difference in matching

As for which one to choose, it doesn't really matter, I would say get these if you are willing to pay an extra 20 something bucks for it, and I like it cause its bright cause I want people to know that I am turning lol. I think I got a pic of the comparison of the two bulbs since I originally bought the other version $54 one.

haha yea mate i realised that i just wanted to know which ones he ordered because our CU2 here in oz dont have switchbacks, and our headlight indicators have t20 bulbs.
i just changed my indicator bulbs to leds and im getting the hyper flashing, been more than a few days now and the unlike kowloon said my car hasnt "adjusted".
So im trying to suss out which resistor set should I get, the 3 ohm or the 6 ohm? any suggestions would be awesome guys!

What's up guys? I'm new here and just have a few questions....... What temperature are the bulbs in 09 TSX? If I wanted to replace my bulbs could I just buy the new bulbs (whatever temperature) and do a direct replacement or do I have to swap out the ballasts too? Does anyone have any good recommendations on where to purchase these headlight bulbs? Thanks fellas.

kowloon, since youve had em in for a while now, have you any downsides or regrets from doing this? and was the install easy?
i am too lazy to read the whole thread so just berate me if these were answered already

oem temp. is 4300K
if u wnat to replace headlights bulb, just get the bulbs (d2s i believe? or d2r...cant remember
)u can get the headlights from hidextra or ddm tunning. i have hidextra for headlights and ddm tunning for fogs. i want to change my headlights to ddm tuning so it matches. they are aroudn 15 bucks, not bad and great output. so i'd suggest ddm but w/e you like is fine too

install was not difficult but not super easy but it is straight forward. the reason why i say its not super easy is because you have to take out your bumper and unbolt the headlight to take it out. I think you could just try to get it through the fender liner but there's not that much room to work with.

I'm with you ed, I've looked at the DIY so many times and can't bring myself to putting my headlights in the oven. Switch backs def. seem the way to go though.

other than that, youre just melting the glue
you can do it the long harder way by using a heat gun.

You wouldn't need switchbacks if you still have the yellow amber piece in there. Just buy yellow turn signal LEDs since you'll be wasting your money if you get switchbacks since the white would not show through the yellow.

True that... why'd you have to graduate Kowloon??? We could have done it together. Might have to take ed's lead and suck it up

yo killer, no grigio did it yet, we might be the first! but here is a pmm, which is close to grigio in an underground garage i guess
i think if i go take it to a shop...i might as well ask them to black the housing for me

Hmm, PMM is very similar, nice pic find
you know what after seeing it on the PMM i still feel like i like the yellow on grigio for the contrast it provides...to each his own though since i can see why it would be attractive as well!
hoooray for personal preference
