I've considered doing the clear lens swap but it's not high on my priority. Switching between my S2000 and my ISF it still blows my mind how crappy the headlight output is on this car. If the 2012 headlights weren't so expensive I'd consider retroing some non crappy projectors in there.

The reason for poor output is due to its design. See post #15 of the link below.

Yup best bulbs in the business. When I had HID, that's all I'd use. Definitely vouch for them. They're so cheap now. Back in the day they were $350 a pair. (if you could find them)

Maybe a set of these bulbs and some pure white fogs, wondering if these are a gimmick or if they actually work...

If the clear lens merely sharpens the cutoff then it's not worth dismantling the headlights. I'd opt for a full retro before I went to that trouble.

Honestly the lens swap will make just as big of a difference (if not more than) changing out the bulbs
On my GS I had the D4S CBI's and the STi-R clear lens swap done and the output was so much better than stock. Well worth it.
For the side-entry style projectors, you would need to use the TSX-R lenses:

Can anyone confirm the lens size for the ISF? I wanted to order these bulbs as well as the lens and the LED fogs but didn't want to grab the wrong ones. Site calls out for STI-R.
Either way I missed the damn Black Friday deal for TRS, fack. Had a loaded shopping cart would have been a sweet deal at 25% off.
