Oh wow, loving em! I'm guessing you purchased the TSX headlights themselves to get the projectors ? (Sorry if you did, I see the pic above but I dunno if those are TSX headlights lol)

Yea that’s the most important part! ~If you want to play you gotta pay~

Yes its the TSX projectors with the tsx shrouds. I am just wondering how to make the rough edges look good, and should the chrome be only on the shroud or the whole inner low beam. Or do like a blacked out kind of look. So will post pics with them on soon. I am going to the store for some washers right now! To do a color mod!!! Then all I need to do is do the aiming, maybe tonight. If it's not to cold! We just had a snow storm! Shouldn't be too bad. Thanks for all of your reply's guys! Keep em coming!

If you've cut your bracket to mount cefiro, you can't get these to work for you car. From what I've read.

make sure you install and allign them with the covering lenses off, fitted on the car, i find that it's the best aiming/alligning result.. then remove the headlights to bake them closed with the lens.

i'm doing all black inner with chrome shrouds. this way the black gives it inderior depth and the chome accentuates the rings around the projectors in the foreground
then again mine is a Dual Projector setup, so i want the chrome to REALLY accentuate the projectors side by side.

finishing it off will be the most challenging part. making it look clean will take patience, effort, time, and skill

Good Luck Vlad Molodetz

what color is your car?
I like it the way you've got it set up with the chrome bezel, but it looks kinda off with the smaller one in there still.
Looks really good and 10000000x better than I could do I'm sure.

yea i am debating either cutting the little sucker off, or spraying it flat black. Anyone else is welcome to pitch their idea in on this matter as well.

car is black

car is black
black car will look great with black background and chrome ring

my advice is to cut-off the smaller ring, it would make it look cleaner, just be careful not to flake off the chrome on the shroud, tsx is kinda fragile to work with.
just take your time with it

also check to make sure the projector is mounted out enough (closer to lens)
the way i had mine set up the first time, part of the beam pattern would be cut-off on the bottom of the black trim and on the divider in the middle. plug it in and test it
post some pics of the cut-off before and after washermod, if you can

will do that! but first some pics on the car. To late and to cold to aim and hook up electrical stuff, not to mention they are not done to the point where I want to aim them. Got to start working on the other side as well.

thanks a lot! I will cut the little chrome piece off. Since like people said, it would look cleaner! Anyways, I don't know if I should be sad or happy. Well I am happy, and someone here will be too! But I just bought an Evo8 . and this car has got to go, and so do the light's when I am done with them! I also got an extra set of tsx headlights with clear projectors in them if anybody wants them.
