gonna take off the tape tomorrow, and take some pics with the reflectors ON.
then I gotta take off the "high beam" reflector, and see if I can fit the TSX projector there, yes. we are talking about quads. and by quads I dont mean quad exhaust!

you'd have to get smaller projectors, or maybe trim the tsx ones, i tried it on my old car before and it was a *****... plus it might look awkward since the projectors don't line up but i say go for it....

yup it'll work if you do a smaller projector but not sure if they have a 1.5-2in projector and also not sure if it'll look good at that point...

Zeek, I don't ride 
Alex, I think if it was a small projector, it'd look stupid. I'm trying to fit a similar sized projector, but it seems like I wont have enough room to work with.

that's what i was thinking but try it, worth a shot....something similar still wouldn't work, i think the tsx is 2.5" but if you modified the housing it might....

I thought it might look good at first but after looking at the pics in your link, I didn't like it at all.

I think the balcked out headlights will look way better on advans car. I agree it doesn't look good on the link...the car doesn't look right. It needs to be lowered and have a more aggressive front end. I think that's why it looks out of place.

thanks guys,
Alex, I think it's easier to do it on a E39,
sigh...I have to take apart the headlights again today, I have to make a socket for my HID kit. this is a CLK facelift headlight, so it runs on D1S, and it has ONE missing ballast, so I have to take the other ballast off as well, and make a socket, to fit my D2S HID kit
