Can someone talk more in detail about baking the headlights and taking them apart is baking them to soften the bond ? What sort of temp to bake at ?

So your just doing a lens now? If you do decide to do a projector swap why not go ahead and do a bi xenon projector in it? Your already going to be modifying the housing so why not modify your housing for a bi xenon. That would be what i would do at least. I am thinking about doing a projector swap in my gto. The aussie car needs something new and shiny. Good luck.

I would do the TSX lights, I know I went to see about changing my projector and the guy said that our car has good projectors, (I beg to differ) but wondering if this has a huge improvement. Sorry OP didnt mean to hijack your thread.
