Yeop got the whole TSX headlight assembly from a seller so I was sure there were no scratches on the lenses. hey your the one with the upgraded clear lense fogs right? Im thinking of replacing my lenses cause i forgot to ground one of them when i installed the bulb and it exploded and melted one of the insides. where did you pick yours up?

well I do agree that your stock cut off is more sharper then mine which is probably from the delining but I wouldnt know cause I didnt deline before I retrofitted. but from the picture there is substaintial amount of glare. and for oncoming traffic at greater distances i used to get flashed. One other thing is that the light distrubition is still no where near the same as the TSX, the old projectors will always have the hot spots. PNP still kicks halgeons to the curb 3 fold but retrofit also does the same to PNP

Yea the pictures show more glare than there really is though. In person it doesn't look like that. Dunno if its the crappy camera or what but in person you can see the two rise in the cut off lines clear as day, but defiantly the retrofit gives a better light distribution and no hot spots like mine.

Im not trying to put you down or anything like i mean your cutoff is probably the sharpest that i've seen in pictures as far as the old projectors go but yeah retrofit is just another level.
