c2ispy -- Valeo HID retrofit full-writeup --
So I've been contemplating whether to do a retrofit to my headlights for the past couple months. Well, I finally decided and I went and got these in the other day. I still got finals coming up next week
so I wont be making any progress anytime soon. I fired these up last night and boy are they colorful and bright
. I'll try to get some cutoff pictures of these puppies. Well, stay tuned and I'll make sure to make this as informative as possible for future retro-fitters!
Chris
More pictures to come as my project comes along.

Cool... I had a Fresnel Valeo just like that but I sold them and went to TSX.
They are H7s right?

Jeslet: How hard was the tsx retro? And what do people mean by clear lense? Is that the one to use for the retro?

I used TSX for the retro. Clear lens mean it is CLEAR unlike the Valeo above. Those lines on the Valeo are called Fresnel lens.
Sorry to jack the thread...

Stock brackets huh? Let see what you can do
