    Retrofitting projectors into the CB headlights?

    Hey guys, I have a pair of newer 07+ MDX projectors just sitting around and I figure maybe I could use these for retrofitting the CBs headlights to properly house an HID setup. Anybody know if these things are worth using or should I search out some RDX or TSX projectors, found alot of junk searching so looking for some more direct answers in using the OE Acura stuff since I do work in the parts department at an Acura dealership.

    They should work fine, though I don't know anyone that has done it. TSX projectors have been done a few times with great success.

    If you have access to some TSX projectors at work, compare the shapes and sizes. If the MDX projectors are similar, they should work just fine. They're made for HIDs, right? I'm assuming so, since the MDX is pricier than the RDX or TSX...

      Yeah they're made for HIDs, D2R bulbs i believe, I wish I had a TSX to compare but its been ages since we've done a tsx warranty repair. Guess I'll have to find a set of extra CB headlights to start tinkering with.

          I've wondered about this. Is there any way to tell, just by looking at a projector lense, if it's HID or not? I bought my lights pre-fitted with TSXs, but after getting them I suddenly became very interested in lighting.

            All OEM projectors use D2s.

            The only way to tell is by looking at what bulb it takes. It should say on the housing, or just look up what model it came off of.

            Do some research in the size of those projectors. They may not be what you expect.
            What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.

            You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!
