Guys, I did a little research and ultimately have just completed a diy mod where I changed the lenses of my projectors and oh what a major difference.. It always made me wonder why the hell our headlights werent bright enough and didnt have that distinct line in which tsx or honda s2k's have when those headlights light up the ground.. Below is the link to what it was i picked up. I must say that the 6k bulbs looks so much better.. However, dont expect a complete transformation of light output by replacing the lense.. One of the main issues with our headlights is the design of the projector unit itself.. because it is a side mount bulb, the reflecting bowl design does not allow for maximum output as you would expect compared to a bmw or lex rx330.. for any diyer's out there, this is definitely worth a weekend project and also, the lenses itself isnt even too bad.. took me about 3 hours to complete and I also buffed the healdight lenses as well to make it more clear.. Just thought id share with you all..

interesting. awesome job on finding this out

 

Thanks for sharing. This is pretty cool

 

any before and after shots?

Andre

 

nice DIY Al....!

 

arr.. no before shots but chance has the same garax 6k bulbs so maybe we can do a comparison at night one of these days.. no pictures yet..

 

well thats pointless to post something so interesting and have no pictures =(

 

haha i will have some up of the process some point today.. however, no before or after pics yet since I cant find my camera battery charger but we will just have to wait till I catch chance one day..

 

Is it just me or am I the only one that doesn't see any DIY here?

Does AFS still work OK with this retrofit?

 

I think the AFS are still working cuz he's only replaces the projector glass only..

 

he is correct.. only the lenses were replaced.. very easy mod if youre somewhat of a diy guy... i was surprised to see how easy it was..

 

Nice avatar...im going there in 3 weeks.

 

Did you have to open the headlight? Bake it?

 

yep baked it and opened it up... very easy to do.. trust me... also, you dont even have to take the projector itself out of the housing.. the shroud is attached by 2 tabs to the projector.. just detach that and you will see 2 screws holding the lense housing onto the projector.. unscrew that and voila!! watch out however, those screws are in TIGHT!! i ended up stripping a bolt so i just drilled right through it and used a ziptie to get it back together... 250 degrees and 10 minutes or so in the oven.. i just removed the bulbs and that was it..

 

Haven't got any condensation in the headlight? Also. You have pics of the cutoff? I Really would like to do this mod
