My E36 M3 now has TSX headlights!

I posted a sales thread a while back selling headlight casings and people were wondering what I was doing with the insides, here's the finished product on my TSX retrofit:

ZKW headlights
DDE Enhanced
Philips 4100K D2S bulbs
Hella Gen3 ballasts
Acura TSX projectors with 2003 S2000 bezels:

Headlight photos

I've been meaning to take some day time shots, I cant believe I forgot to do it today.

It took me 3 weeks to design, find all the stuff, then install it. I can probably replicate it now in a couple days now since the design is done.

nice. i did the same projector retrofit into my second gen TL (check my avatar). yours came out nice man. by the way, does the BMW already come with projector halogens? or was it reflectors?

My TL was a reflector headlight, so i had to custom fabricate the whole thing.

like everyone said. day pics please
