I think i'm posting this in the appropriate forum. I just wanted to share the latest mod to my car. All work was done by me over a 1 week time period. Here is my retrofit I did a few months back. I paid $150 for TSX clear lense projectors with brand new Phillips bulbs. I retrofitted TSX projectors since they are pretty easy to retro and are lighter in weight than most bi-xenon projectors. I did not want the hassle of a bi-xenon like I had with my other retro with E36 M3 projectors. Plus the bi-xenon are a little heavier I think. I did not want the extra weight to make the reflector vibrate while driving. Thus far the TSX's work so well I am happy with only having a low beam. I also painted the cutoff shield flat black to prevent excess glare to make the cutoff a little sharper. Other parts include jb weld,2.5" ace pipe flanges,3" pvc piping from Home Depot,satin high temp paint,Krylon fusion plastic paint, and other stuff i'm forgetting. Below I posted some pics I took yesterday of the retro, enjoy! :
Thanks Angelo! I received and read your message. Right now I am trying to keep busy with work. I will get around to trying a machine on the car in about a month or 2. I really want to get a 2009 Honda FIT so I need to pay off some debt before the first of the year.
When are you going to do an H.I.D. retro in your Mazda Angelo? I'll help you if you decide to go for it. My friend that I bought my projectors from also has alot of projectors/bulbs/ballast from many different makes/models he will sell to me really cheap. It's not as hard as it looks/sounds. Let me know. Thanks again for helping me clean the headlight lenses!
Thanks alot for doing it PROPERLY with projectors and not just throwing a HID bulb inside of a reflector... I see that far more than I care to mention these days.
It looks like a really clean retrofit! I was actually thinking of getting this done for my DC, hehe.
It would be a piece of cake to do an HID retro in a DC Teg. S2000 projectors can be substituted in place of the stock oem projectors. It looks really good on teg's too!
