Default c2ispy -- Valeo HID retrofit full-writeup --
So I've been contemplating whether to do a retrofit to my headlights for the past couple months. Well, I finally decided and I went and got these in the other day. I still got finals coming up next week so I wont be making any progress anytime soon. I fired these up last night and boy are they colorful and bright . I'll try to get some cutoff pictures of these puppies. Well, stay tuned and I'll make sure to make this as informative as possible for future retro-fitters!

Chris







More pictures to come as my project comes along.

Cool... I had a Fresnel Valeo just like that but I sold them and went to TSX.

They are H7s right?

Jeslet: How hard was the tsx retro? And what do people mean by clear lense? Is that the one to use for the retro?

I used TSX for the retro. Clear lens mean it is CLEAR unlike the Valeo above. Those lines on the Valeo are called Fresnel lens.

Sorry to jack the thread...
