Rep Power: 320

gear if you can find me $120 clear lens tsx projectors..i'll buy them now. The going rate seems to be around $160-180 even on ebay. Probably because they don't make the first gen tsx anymore and the newer ones are fresnel lens.

i thought about getting the hid planet ones too. I'm probably going to do a hid retrofit on my gf's rsx.

You dont have to worry about the bulb holders, you can just use paper clips...its works fine. The bulb holders are just a piece of metal shaped in the form of a V.

I would also recommend using nissan oem head light sealant. It seals better and its also easier to take apart. You can buy it online for around $20 so it doesn't really kill the bank. I would also recommend picking up a heat gun. It'll save you a lot of time from the hair dryer.

you know retrofitsource has clear 2.5 inch lenses on ebay right? im not sure if they fit tsx but they might. most stuff on ebay is so overpriced, i stopped looking there a long time ago.

here is clear tsx for 140, ive seen several go for 120 in the past few months. i personally dont think theyre worth more than 120.

2005em2 if you get the free tsx shells from buckshizzo, just throw in the rs clear lenses for $80 and you have a good set of projectors for under $100 lol.

Clear vs fresnel lens, whats this all about?

 
Rep Power: 812

clear lens is totally clear, fresnel has frosted/circle lines/patterns in the lens to diffuse the light and make it less sharp.

Thanks for the paper clip trick. Nissan would sell them at their dealerships, right? I think I will stop by their dealership directly, because there's one close by.

Hmm.. these replica lenses... are they just as good as the real ones?

you can buy the sealant on this site too. its in cali, so it should get to you after about a day.

Hmm.. so this is enough for both headlights? Thanks!!

 
Rep Power: 303

Okay, well I just ordered them. Hope they work well.

 
Rep Power: 320

yeah one roll is enough. you dont want to put too much on or it'll make it difficult to reassemble the head light.

i also recommend getting a heat gun..they go for pretty cheap on ebay.

Rep Power: 303

I will keep you all updated on this thread Then, maybe we can start on yours
Um, well, I guess it all depends. But pretty damn pricey to have someone else do it. I'll just read up a bit and then put up with some trial and error.

 
Rep Power: 303

Awesome! No problem.. heh, it's really thanks to thefever. Cold Cathode DIY

You should post up pics! I love mine too! They're way better than the little bulb that Honda provides.

 
Rep Power: 245

Rep Power: 303

Rep Power: 245

Rep Power: 388

I did mine a long time back, I picked red, it just goes with the car so dont hate. I took it a few steps further so they wouldnt get busted when I throw my bike in the trunk or whatever. I made a DIY but never posted it... maybe i should?

 
Rep Power: 269

here's pretty good retro done on a 7th gen accord. i like the use of the L bracket to give you rotational adjustment.

just to give you some ideas.

 
Rep Power: 303

That looks nice Gearbox!


Whoa, thanks for the link. This is a lot of work. Not sure if I'll be doing what he is doing, but damn... nice job with the fiberglass molding. I, too, like the L bracket. That's pretty cool!
