Finding the power source you tapped into. Do you have pics of where and what the wire looks like. I tried googling but no luck for the drawing.

I know you mention the windshield wiper primary wiring but I don't know where it is.

Green wire = switched power = Angel Eye (+). This means the eyes are on anytime the car is running.

Run the Angel Eye (-) to any body ground.

One more stupid question Kennedy... and sorry for being an idiot . Which gauge wire should I ru a 12 gauge or 14 gauge?

Thanks for the help and keep you posted.

It doesn't need be any bigger than the wires on the Angel Eye ballasts... and I believe that's 16 gauge.

This is a low current application, no need in running big honking wires. Use a fuse where you tap, no more than 1amp on it.

I'd have to disagree 4 rings + TL-S retained diffuser with black corners > ZKW + CF

I guess you havent seen the TL projector output yet throw the clear ZKW lens ?


ZKW + TL projector + 85122+ bulb FTMFW , only thing that batters this combo is a either LS430 projectors with 85122+ bulbs or Clear lens S2k projectors with 85122+ bulbs . Kennedy knows what I am talking about . Kennedy's combo is awesome, lights' headlights are awesome as well, both take the cake when it comes to attention to detail and choice of materials used .

BTW its ZKW or bust .

- TL-S headlights... no thanks. I prefer 55W high mounted fogs opposed to those 15W DRL's. My focus is about more light output while achieving the best look possible, not compromising function for visual appeal. -1 for you
- 4 rings, no thanks. That gives that BMW look others question. I don't care so much about that, but the single ring is so unique even hater's can't hate. Even
- Retained diffuser... + 1 for you. Wish I could find a set... JnC?
- Black corners... meh. Mine are masked, looks as good as having a diffuser. Even

- ZKW... JnC said it best. You wasted your time taking your headlights apart and not installing them... What's the saying?, "Go big or go home". For what you spent on another set of TL-S headlights you could have had a set of ZKW, and the superior output it provides. -100 for you.

It's now in my top5 mods: SuperCharger, ATLP Exhaust, Volks on Teins, ZKW headlights.

- CF, touche... That's my dig. I now have a series of emulators. That's OK with me... Emulation is the highest form of flattery. -1 for you.

Just having fun...

Looks pretty f-ing awesome. I have a few questions about some mods u made. I did the exact same thing to my lower grills and i love it. Did you paint the plastic in the two lower grills black? It's hard to tell. Also, did you use the same color on the main grill's cross bar? If not, what color did u use on the main grill? I've been wanting to do something w/ mine and yours looks really nice. Is the cross bar on the main grill the same color as the bottom edge of the main grill? Last thing, What did u use to color in the acura logo at the bottom of the front bumper. Yours looks like it has some texture to it as opposed to just painting it in. Sorry for all the ?'s but I've got the wdp 06 tl as well and i've found it harder to find colors that go well with it esp w/ the grill. Thanks for any info. Later.

Scots...
Lot of questions, unfortunatley none are aboutt he headlights.

- Painted "recently repainted" the lower grill frame a metallic gunmetal, a color I picked up at autozone. In the pics in this thread, they are only primed... which was fading after a year.

- The lower grills are NOT painted the same color as the crossbar. That would have been ideal, and I wanted to do that, but couldn't at the time. I chose the gunmetal color recently for the lower grills because it goes really nicely with the CF lip spoiler I now have (from ua6spec),

- The center crossbar (and headlight trim parts) are all colormatch painted the color of the inner grill (as you refer to the bottom edge). It was proffessionally painted with a flat texture to match well...

- The ACURA logo is an domes carbon fiber sticker from ebay.

Hope this helps

my headlight will look similar to this soon....im using 3m di-noc carbon fiber on the chrome part after i remove the amber reflector. i also plan to paint the chrome strip matte black and possibly put a slight spray tint on the turn signal reflector(so it looks darker but still shines)
