Hey guys,

i know most of you don't check the c32 forums, so i thought i post my pics.

It took me awhile, its my hid retrofit using aftermarket eagle eye head lights and clear lens tsx projectors.

I'm pretty happy with the results.

The step by step break down is on this link. Let me know what you guys think.

Much props for doing this! Although I don't like how the lines are so apparent on the Eagle Eye lenses, great work nontheless!

yeah the glare lines are gay, but still better then the oem frosted lens.

Hi everyone,

I got a new project now.

My gf liked my tsx retro in my mercedes so much, she wanted it on her rsx. I got a pretty smoken deal on some tsx projectors for $120, so i decided to give it a shot.

I bought some eagle eye ebay projectors to start off.

Materials used

Dremel

heat gun

philips screw driver

flat head screw driver

mirror clips qty = 2

8-32 2.5''screws qty 8
8-32 2'' screws qty 4
8-32 washers
nuts
springs

JB Weld

separate harness

stock light



The great thing about the eagle eyes is that it uses a separate bracket to hold the projector to the head light. This made working on them a lot easier then on my retro.



There's three mounting points on the bracket. Thankfully the bottom two holes mount perfectly with the tsx mounting points. This made setting up the rotational alignment a lot easier.


here's another pic of the bracket without the projector to give you an idea.


The tsx projector is a little wider then the halogen projector, so I used my dremel to wider the bracket a little to accomadate the tsx projector. It was pretty quick with a dremel and a grinding bit.


Here's how i setup the projector. The springs are used to keep tension on the projector so the projector doesn't move around when you go over speed bumps. Ignore the rubber stoppers, i found out later i didnt need them.


Here's a mock up with the head light bracket with the tsx projector. I used the mirror clip and screw to hold the top half of the tsx projector to the top half of the bracket.


Thankfullly the eagle eye projector and tsx projector are both 2.5'' so it was a perfect size for the cover to fix over.


Since i'm using the stock location on the bracket. The tsx projector sits in the stock location so i can use the stock rubber stopper to seal up the projector later.


Here's a pic of the cut off with 3 washers on the bot. As you can see the rotational is slightly off but i can live with it.



I'm going to be jb weld it later today. Once i got it mounted i'll post some pics.

I just finished my gf's retro. I very happy in how it came out. I think it came out better then the one i did on my mercedes.

I'm actually kinda impressed with the ebay led and ccfl o nthe ebay head lights.

Here's some teaser pics. I'll try to take more wall shots once it gets darker.

Great work!

I'm planning on buying some Depo's and getting the retrofit done by HID Illusionz.

I don't have the ***** or skills to do it myself.

thanks...i would suggest getting the eagle eyes though..you'll have more projector options. From what i read on the depo thread, you can just buy depos and swap out the projector for a hid e55 projector.

From what i heard, the depo projector is a replica of the e55 projector just the lens and reflector bowl isn't as good.

But yeah i got my first set of retros from them when i got lazy and didnt feel like retrofitting anymore. They do pretty good work, i got my retrofits from them when it was still called customlightz.
