The TSX has a more blue hue; while the TL is more white.

The projectors are made by stanley, to be completely honest, the best projectors used in either a honda/acura vehicle are the s2000. I'm in the process of getting quotes for a dual projector retro-fit for my headlights.

What do you get with dual projector? Two HID's? That would be nice.

When we turn on high beams in our TL, do we actually get brigher overall light(does light make two arcs?) or is it just little top cut-off part opens? I think some Cadillacs actually have two HIDs for high and low

yeah that is the only weakness of the s2k projectors.., the bosch m3 projectors are the smallest bi-xenon projector on the market however.

Just stick your finger in and bend the shield toward the bulb. YOu get tremendous purple, because you rid the yellow of the specturm to get purple. My car is way more purple than any BMW or S2k. I have projector in my car on my 99 TL. The best projector is the A6, get that!! Super purple with the right bent.
