I'd got with the accord projectors, as isn't the AUS accord identical to the tsx? I remember when I was in sydney, I didn't know that overseas our "luxury" tsx was just an accord over there and was blown away when I saw that haha. Also getting to see s15 silvias in person was pretty cool

the light step in the projector is minor you can aim your lights in anyway when you do the retrofit. I say just go for it, you wont blind ppl if you get the adjustment right its your way of SEEING! just do it!

that's wierd, I'd think you'd have an easier time getting them from a domestic accord? And sadly no, they pulled them after the s14s :/ - otherwise I'd have a varietta parked in my garage right now!

ahh that sucks. certainly see alot of s15s here.

anyway, the few headlights/projectors i found down here are in the $300+ range, where as you can get tsx ones for $200. might just get some sent from japan with some clear lenses for the soarer
