Hi, I just installed some new TSX-R lenses on my car (courtesy ACKTL05). I was trying my panorama function on my new galaxy nexus... here are the results lol.

Before:


After:



Here are my new halos (lights off):



Lights on:



I would also say removing the tint and upgrading the lens had about a 20-25% increase in brightness and also increased beam width substantially. So bright now...

Wow that looks great! I love the halos what did the halos run you? Looking at your picture has made me rethink the tsx lens swap and the halos!!

Did you have to ship your headlights too?

Ya its been unusually warm. Only 1-2 weeks of -30 C. I think January only averaged -9 according to my gas bill and Feb will probably be even higher.... Global warming lol

Looks good. That is brighter. Im not sure if I wanna do it tho because the stock brightness is pretty damn good already.

How hard was the halo install?

I got AckTL05 to do it for me, pretty hard. You have to remove the bumper and bake apart the headlights to get at them.

I wired them to always run when the cars on and the DRL are disabled.

I wanted the halos as DRL

Gibby, I like the headlights. Besides, your NBP looks good against all that snow....

They look good. Its amazing what a lens can do for the lighting.

Changing the 3G TL projector lens there is a huge difference as well, but 20% or more better lighting is always worth the money.

P.S. - Hate the snow but your car looks so good in it.
