Default Projectors

I have a question about projectors. I have a PnP Hid Kit,but the other day I noticed that my passenger side projector has a small chip on both sides




my question is are there any projectors from other cars that will bolt up that are clearer than the stock projectors? (without modification, without fabbing brackets just put it in and goooo)

A retro is your only option but the end result is night and day compared to the stock projector..I did a TSX retro with halos and the light output and cutoff is amazing...

^^^ how simple was the TSX retrofitting? i was thinking about replacing the foggy lense with a clear one, so i would still be using my OEM projectors but with a clear lense. im not sure what the outcome will be, but it'll be a real easy project to do.

The retro wasn't too difficult just time consuming because it was my first retro, but now that I have experience I feel I could get it done rather quickly..The light output is amazing..It was worth the time and effort..

Are you talking about the TSX projector Lense only? Or the actual Headlight lense?

i was talking about the projector lense. im not too sure if retrofitting another projector would be fully adjustable. thats why i wanted to keep the original projectors in there but switch out the projectors lense with a clear one.

johnee78: can still adjust your headlight with the screw in the back after your TSX retro or is it a one time set, you put it in and thats it.
