There are no projectors of any kind on my car. as with any aftermarket ("black jdm") housings, the beam pattern sucks, period. I just want to put in projectors (of any kind that iwll fit) into there so that I can improve the quality of the light dispersement. Right now I am lokoing at just getting TSX projectors, something simple, not anything crazy like an s2000 until later on.

if anyone can help me on this, please let me know. Thanks for your responses thus far.

Yes Im familiar with baking and resealing lights Ive done a retro on my old 1st gen gs with tsx projectors with the washer mod for extra color on the cutoff line, on my ls430 I swapped the tsx lense in place of the ls430 lense because the tsx is crystal clear as opposed to the ls430 which is slightly fresnal. My buddy has a solara and he wanted me to do a tsx retro for him ,check ebay for a pair of Solara headlights so you can still drive your car when you need to and you can retro the spare lights

Aww thanks mike!!


Smuv:

any idea what I need to get for retrofit?
I already have H4 hids (55watt)

Do I just need the TSX projectors?? [I dont think i can use my existing hids to put into the projectors?]
What about shrouds? etc? I don't know exactly what I need....
