visit lightwerkz.net
They're located close to NYC in Clifton, NJ. They do similar work with retrofitting your headlights. They did it for me recently on my '05 BMW M3. They used the TSX lens and the housing from another car and the cutoff and light output is amazing. I highly recommend their work. Any questions pm me.

I removed the fronts, I still kept all my others. My orginal plan from the get go was to black out the lights, thus no need imo for an overlay. However I wanted to let bluebat use my entire car so he could show all the options available.

Ok here are some pics, sorry the weather is really bad here in San Diego today, its raining so the lighting isnt the best on these shots, but I think it will serve the purpose. Also, I know my car is dirty, and as soon as the weather turns I will wash my car.

Those look f**king sweet!! They look like they came off of a Transformer or something, great job JnC!!

I was at my local Acura dealership today telling the dealers about these headlights and was even able to show them on a computer in one of the offices..their reaction , wish they could have seen them installed. Congrats!

I am very happy with how it turned out. JnC did an amazing job. If I had a lighter colored TL, I think I would have color matched the insert ridge piece that we left the factory silver color.

Here are some night time pics, with lights on. We replaced the stock projectors with TSX rep projector lens, and the stock bulbs with Phillips D2S model 85122+. The output with these set up is amazing, very sharp cut off. With a flash the projector beams look yellowish, without the flash they look more white. I think they look more white than the pics show. Also noticed I changed out the turn signal bulbs with LED switchbacks, so they run white, and turn amber when the signal is on. Only problem I am having at this point is my parking light the headlight side marker isnt lighting up. I am switching this out to LED also, I think I might of blown a fuse, so I will get that working this weekend.

Are the lights above the fog lights, not sure exactly what they are..just tint overlays or are they actually blue light bulbs? Shit looks mad sexy..

Well that is the front turnsignal light, which I have a smoke overlay on, plus I changed the light out to an LED switchback. So it now runs bright white, then changes to amber when turning. To do this you have to add a resistor to the wiring line to prevent hyper fast blinking. Its all very easy to do, there are a few threads that explain in detail.
