HID Ebay Projector Mod

Thanks to Dr. Roy for the sweet lights. Acura TSX projectors in tinted chrome Ebay housing.

Here's some good ones...







I think they're a bit high, any input. Thanks.

You could ask Dr. Roy, but the TSX doesn't leave a whole lot of room for a bezel.

I do believe they are washer modded. On the cutoff you can see some of the flairing as a result. I think I'm going to lower them today as they probably are 2x too high.

They look very good. Were the TSX projectors a drop in size wise? Did you use the ebay angel eyes? Any pictures of the eyes? Anyway, well done. You should get some daylight pics of the lights off so we can get a good look at the tinted chrome, that's a new one on me.

Oh, and they do look a little high. Have you looked at them from driver height over 50 m away? (<---arbitrary number)

It's too hot to wash the car right now (dries before you're done washing) so it's too embarrasing to take daytime pictures. Dr. Roy did the install, but they do look like they are drop in size wise, but I'm not sure how big of a pain they are to mount. You can see the angel eyes in the video link. Thanks for the comments.

I love the cutoff!

I'm lazy and afraid of breaking expensive things so I payed to have it done by someone who is very good at it. I've modded XBOX's and other things where looks are unimportant and I just didn't trust myself for this. So, first is the three most important pieces:

1) Headlights - $300 or less (I got mine for 75 with shipping from someone who didn't like them)
2) Ballasts - $100
3) Bulbs - $75

Not as important
4) Wiring harness - $20 to make depending on tools owned
5) Bezels & Shrouds - $50
6) Clear parking/turn lenses - $20


Not doing the labor - Depending on who you get $150-$300 wouldn't be unreasonable.

YEP! Never put them on. Sent them to Dr. Roy when he was doing MDXs and finally decided on the TSX, he said you messed up the connectors and sockets pretty good on these, he had to make custom connectors for the turn signal and driving light.

That will be fixed this week, didn't have the time. First they were too low, now I need the just right.
