Default TSX retrofit
I thinking of picking up some TSX projectors and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with doing this retro fit into a GS. I searched, but could not find anything about it. I know Luxur Mods has brackets for other projectors, but not the TSX. Does anyone know what would be involved with this? Thanks.

They are kinda small for the gs headlights, may look wierd. Stick with LS series or Q45.


To answer your question you would need to cut up your reflector and epoxy or screw the projectors to that, with the bracket you just replace the reflector with the bracket and projector.

TSX will fit in the high beams. I have TSX in my high beams in my retrofit that I will be getting in the next couple of weeks. For the low beams you're going to want LS460/M45/LS430/Q45..

I'm doing FX-R retrofit. Doesn't fill the large hole but it does the job. TSX are pretty small. You can try the FX-R or BI-XENON: ACURA TL / ZKW-R lens if you can 't get the Q45 or LS430 projectors.

Cool. Thanks for the input. Saved me from buying something! I'm gonna look into the LS460/430 projectors.

What about the projectors from the RX. Will those work or are they too small as well?

most projectors are small for the space, you just need a nice shroud to make the void pretty

Why would it look weird? Cause its small?

If the projectors aren't LS430/Q45 you get shrouds to cover up the empty space. I'm running FX-Rs
