My HID Retrofit !!!!PICS!!!!!

[haccord992h]

A few days ago i got a strong interest on doing a S2000 or TSX projector retrofit on my ""JDM"" projector blackhoused headlights from ebay (LOL!!) they really suck, i kindda like the way they look since i paint the housing like my car (Navy Blue), But the Output SUCKS!!! even with aftermarket HID.

So I decided to make it my next Project, i wanted the S2K ones but i could not find them where i live (Cd. Juarez,MEX), so i went for the TSX. I'm using Brand new OEM Lexus/Toyota ballasts and 85122+ 5000k bulbs,and maybe making my own Halos, Maybe.

The ballasts and bulbs are arriving tomorrow and i will continue posting PICS and updates. suggestions, coments or questions are very welcome.

Good luck on your retrofit. Once you have a retrofit you'll hate the day you have to drive with halogens again.

I'm guessing you went with denso gen 3 ballast?

I'm going to do the same thing in the next few weeks. Just got my TSX projectors and waiting on the lights to come in. Just wondering if you have figured out a way to be able to adjust the projector once you have the headlight on and everything put back together on the car, like the adjuster screws for the original projector in the lights?
