Re: ebay lights, retrofit

those are pretty easy, but you can really only fit two types of smaller, low performance hid projectors in them either the audi/valeo d2s single or e46 bosch single. ive done a set with the valeos and it turned out okay.

Re: ebay lights, retrofit

yeah its bigger, some people even fit TL projectors inside which are some of the biggest and brightest. im sure s2000 would fit too but the tl are bixenon lo/hi so those would be good if you want hi beam.

Re: ebay lights, retrofit

http://www.hidillusionz.com/ is one of the best. they should be able to do just about anything in oem housing, but they dont work on projector housing.

Re: ebay lights, retrofit

you can ask if they work with aftermarket "oem style" cause those are only $100 shipped a pair on ebay brand new and they look exactly like oem. since they are gonna cut into them anyway, the original reflector being sucky isnt an issue. i have some on my car now and they are pretty nice. the light output sucks ofcourse.



pic of the output (left) compared to oem 92 accord (right)

Re: ebay lights, retrofit

i just went to that site you recommended gearbox and sent them a message on what the going rate to have tsx projectors put in our stock housings and if it does matter whether or not the housings are oem or knockoffs. i like my hid's but i'd rather have them with projectors and i don't like any of the aftermarket projector headlights for our car. as soon as i get a response i'll post it in case anyone else is interested.

Re: ebay lights, retrofit

yeah good choice man. projector hid is so much better. just remember with 01-03 headlight, you want to get a bixenon projector that does lo and hi beam in the same projector. the best are acura TL, but there are a few others like E55, rs6, e46, etc.

Re: ebay lights, retrofit

My reply:


First off, we would like to thank you for taking interest with our
services!

We do recommend all our clients to go with OEM headlights because the
quality are far greater than aftermarket headlights. But if you rather go
with aftermarket headlight we have no problems retrofitting them as well.

Any portions of the retrofit headlights you want us to paint low gloss
black is free of charge.

2003 Honda Civic TSX Customize Retrofit Quote:
- Single Projectors Setup Labor
- Acura TSX Clear Lens Projectors
- Shrouds What style shrouds did you have in mind?
http://www.hidillusionz.com/html/cus...ngel_eyes.html
HID Kit:
- Brand New OEM Matsushita Gen 3 Ballasts
- Brand New OEM Philips 85122+ D2S bulbs
- Wire Harness
Your looking at spending roughly about $835 + return shipping, I'm not sure
if you already have an HID kit.

We don't require any of our clients to pay a down deposit. All you have to
do is send us your headlights. We'll retrofit the HID parts into your
customize headlights. We'll e-mail you pictures of your finalized retrofit
photo-shoot, for your approval. After you approval and payment completion,
we'll ship your headlight back to you.

If you have any questions please feel freely to ask, e-mail us back or call
us @ 212.300.5906. Thank you for considering HID Illusionz to retrofit your
customize headlights.

-Mike

Re: ebay lights, retrofit

is it alot of money, but think about all the labor, getting the parts peice by peice...look around here for people who have done their own retrofit, even when they sell them they're at about $600 and up...it really comes down to what projector you wanna use...that's where there dollars really add up
