I just put S2K AP1 projectors in my 2013 Accord since I sold my TL, best projectors by far. After not visiting the forums for awhile I was confused when I remembered you had a silver s2k and ended up seeing yellow. Made reading the thread fun. Now im thinking about picking up a S2K too. Beautiful car and congrats on the TL-S

At least you were able to get another S2K after getting the house

I dont want to thread crap but TRS recommended it over the TSX-R. Due to winter and the holidays I didnt have much time to try my hand at the retrofit so I just sent it off to lightwerkz in NJ and thats also what they recommend. Here is what they look like if interested :P

Gawwwwww......

I'm afraid to ask how much set back that was, because I would highly consider doing it. Or I could always ask my buddy who lives local.

4G TL projectors are a direct swap I believe about to do my gf's brother's '15 Accord ..

Not if you do it yourself. Plus you have an s2k and 3G TL the best low beam and bi-xenon headlight respectively money can buy... So you don't really need to retrofit just lens replacement if anything

$1300 parts and labor. Was a little more because I asked them to paint the whole housing and shroud to match my wheels Ill be putting on next month. They are also considered one of the best retrofitting companies out there. I guess thats like saying they are the Apple of retrofitting?

The 4G was originally my first option, just to get HIDs rather than halogen. After some reading I decided to just get myself a Christmas gift and go all out. Since its a direct swap its simple and easy anyone can do it.

Now because of this thread I kind of have an itch to just buy a S2K.

no sorry I wasnt clear, they barely fit in there but are not a bolt on like the 4G. I just figured S2K would be a better option since its rated one of the best low beam projectors on the market.

Sorry :|

Thanks for the blue balls


Another option I found was a bi-xenon direct fit bolt on to the newer Accords... gonna try that on one of my friends.. when i eventually find time to do it, I'll post pics somewhere around here..

Thanks guys...yeah, I looked and didn't see any nails. I'm used to dodging them in the work yard.

LOL...I will admit, I do take some calculated risks for cool photo spots!
