easier said than done... there's a lot of creativity and such required to make these... it's far from plug and play.

I have 3 pairs of mdx projectors
3 pairs of lexus rx330 afs projectors
1 pair infiniti m35 projectors
etc


no other bixenons in my current stock though... the rx330 projectors would fit easily and make for awesome low beams though.

If I do, what will likely happen is I'll just randomly make a set and put them up for sale


or decide I want to do something different, sell the ones on my car, and make new ones for me


too much hassle making them to order... I don't have the time to be consistent and get stuff done in a reasonable enough period

And I believe you have to have some kind of title to sell stuff on this site <_<

But the idea of Two Projectors as headlights sounds... devious
If I hadn't already ordered oem BiX's I'd watch this more carefully

yeah its definately not a weekend job. But at least the retros makes your car look more unqiue since everyone just opts for the oem bixenons or depo lights.

I hate the fact that mercedes does all the wiring in the light... been dealing with that all day. Lights are done, just need to get the wiring all taken care of.

The projectors now really look like Laser Beams, or something along the crazy weapon lines. Haha.
It'd be really cool to complement it with daytime projectors!

I was considering putting projectors in place of the high beams as well... wouldn't be difficult to do, just take more time.


likely if I put any more lights in, it'll be projectors in place of the fogs

that's not what I was referring to... I meant more of the wiring of the wires for the high beam shield and for the ccfl ring that's sitting behind the bezel. I have to find room in the headlight for the transformer for the ccfl ring, and deal with running the wires to the high beam side of the headlight to tap into the city light

I'm half tempted to put some of the rx330 projector in where the high beams are and run 2 pairs of hid low beams...

but I don't want to deal with even less room, and frankly don't care to put the effort in

it's not really difficult per say, just a lot of wires in a tiny space... I may just yank out the whole harness that came with the lights and make my own

possibly... I'm just not all that worried about it. My time is limited. Perhaps in the future.

lol...i think i'm washing my hair that day...cough cough. I would say its better just to open up the head lights first so we can see how much space you actually have. i would just get teh fx projectors with tsx clear lens replicas.

Thats what john has on his civic and his cut off is much sharper then my tsx's.
