Sorry it's taking so long. It's been raining here and there.

I just need to clean, aim, mount, then assemble every part back together.

7thgenerasiancivic, I got tyc projector headlights right. If i want to put TSX project lens' instead of the TYC, is it fairly easy? I can take the existing tyc len's out and fit the TSX ones in, correct? How much time am i looking at to do that? thanks, lmk

how'd u waterproof the back of the headlight housing? did you just put back on the stock rubber seals?

I did the same retro but my shrouds are really ghetto so i'm gonna redo them when I have some free time. Where'd u get those range covers that curve in so much to cover the sides of the projectors?

Re: DIY: Retrofit TSX Projectors

um you dont mess with the adjustment screw. headlights have four bolts and two are underneath where you need to remove the bumper to even see em. then you can stick it in an oven on low heat to soften the goo and open the two halves.

Re: DIY: Retrofit TSX Projectors

yeah sedan has both adjustment and its as easy as unscrewing them. i think with others you need to make a hole or something idk. just be sure you can put it back so it holds the reflector
