TSX VS TL projectors
TSX VS TL projectors
I've been trying to decide which projector would be the best to retrofit into my GS, and i thought i decided on the TSX projector until i came across an interesting thread on hidplanet.com.
Does anyone know if the difference in light output is really that big between the TSX and TL?
Would the TL's fit into GS housing?

BklynGS send a PM to TIGUY99 his name is Mike, He has done a few retros for us CL members, I'm pretty sure he can help you out.
Thanks noop..... I didn't wanna say anything about Xotic SC's comment, but i read all the threads on hidplanet, and just wanted to know some different opinions from guys i trust on clublexus, before i go ahead with the purchase. I've pmed Tiguy with some questions b4 and hes been very helpful.... I know there's quite a few retro guys on this forum that specialize in the GS.
Tiguy if you get a chance to post or pm me some more pics, i'd appreciate it.

The s2k, tsx, and TL projectors are pretty nice. The self leveling/auto adjust doesnt matter to us anyways since the only thing we'll be using are the projectors. If your car has autolevel, then thats a plus.

I believe they're made by stanley. I have to admit though, those tsx,tl and s2000 projectors have some of the most colorful displays on the night-time road. 
And the Maxima's projectors also have impressive color.
BklynGS, I think you should go to hidplanet.com. There they have a fact page created entirely for the hidnewb and expert (it is called university). There you will find dimensions on all sorts of projectors. Since we know that projectors like the q45, s2000, valeo, ls430 have been retrofitted into the GS housing before (based on info here at CL) look for similar dimensions from those projectors and the TL projector you're looking for. If they match up, you're good to go. The only thing I'm a little worried about is the length. If the length has the same fit, then you're ready for retro.
Please search, you could've had the answer from day 1.

100% OEM TSX HIDS
does anyone have pictures of the TL or does anyone still want the TLs at all now? the light output was a lot more purple too and had a pretty wide color band but my camera didnt pick it up for some reason.

Ant post the # of your TSX units on the front part next to the lense. I've got some special information for you and other TSX owners on how to bring these beasts to life. based on the # I'll let you know which combination is best to bring out the sharpest most colorful beam pattern.

Maxima cars have E55 hella projector.All they have changed are the lens.They are clear.S2000 ,TL have a very sharp cutoff Line.thats all I like about them.But they are to fat and you can't use them in some small headlights.
