Default My TSX HID projector retrofit to my none HID headlights
I finaly got tired of my aftermarket HIDs with my stock none HID projectors. I went and obtained some Nissan factory HID's with D2S bulbs and TSX projectors to do my retrofit.

on to the pictures.

New TSX projector mounted








TSX mounted on the left OEM none HID Lexus projector on the right



had to cut the rear of the light housing with a hole saw to be able to change the bulbs and attach the harness.



Shroud mounted







Finished product, I still need to Align the light beam hence why no pictures of that but the cut off is very sharp and I'm totaly satisfied with the end result.

Nice work! Looks very OEM. How big is the TSX lens compared to the Lexus one?

The TSX Lense is a bit smaller than the Lexus none HID one even so I was still able to use the none HID shroud so it worked out great.

This weekend I'll align the lights at my parents house and take some night time pictures and update my thread.

It's sealed with a ruber seal that only exposes the base of the bulb for the harness to clip on so I dont anticipate any issues with water getting in,
