should i trade my tsx for a set of audi tt projectors?? i was going to try and retrofit the tsx projector in my sc300 headlight but it seems to wide of a projector to retrofit. and i would really hate to chop up such a nice tsx projector.

what are the plus sides to a TT projector?? is the cut-off as sharp as the tsx??

I wouldn't do it. I'd use a set of Custom brackets to install the TSX in there. They are a more superior projector in terms of lighting presentation:

cuttoff
colors
foreground lighting
spread of beam pattern
etc

i just got my tsx projectors in hoot hoot and will be attempting a retofit. ill post piks as i progress except what does the custom bracket look like so i have an idea of what to make.

datsetup

just like these but i think i found a way to go around using that but i dont see how everyone saying the tsx's are too big when there much smaller then the stock just the wings on them but even those are only 4 1/2 inchs long.......if you can please take a pic of the tsx sitting in side your housing with out retro fitting yet....

i got the tsx projectors to fit. i bought a pair of aluminum brackets of lexus4jess. 50 shipped. i was trying to make my own like datsetup but i was hard to get it centered. there isnt much room to play with. the brakets from lexus4jess were made for e46 projectors, i just had to enlarge the center hole to accomodate the wider tsx projector.

here we gooo time to retro fit

these are the only pic i have, i took a couple more but they were hard to see

the only trouble i have right now is aiming them, and my left ballast is dying on me. the ballast is have is from a acura cl/tl, it has the intergrated igniter. what should i get for a replacement??

Just curious, the picture of the second link, is that a chinese new years rice cake off to the left side?

And to answer your ballast question. Your options for quality ballasts are phillips, denso, and mashuhita. Denso ballasts are very thin (at least the setup from IS300's is, cost a bunch though).

Don't forget the new Valeo Slim ballasts as well. Very nice. In fact Henry may still have a set.

i was planning on sanding the fluted lines out but read on the hidplanet.com that all the sanding and scratches causes the light output to decrease. i still need a ballast also, let me know if you know of one for sale

what did you use for the bezel?

heres a beam shot, still need adjusting of the lights. after a couple times of messing with the lights the ballast craped out on me. any hints on adjusting the lights??

datsetup

naw, i think thats wrong because....have you ever just put a bulb in the projector and just point it at the wall without modding it in a car do u see how bright and clean the cut-off is now if you put it behind lenses there pretty *****ty....now if you sand those lines off and clean it up its gonna look like there not behind anything get it heres my setup but 2 things wrong need new ballast and need to adjest the drivers side
