Default TSX Retrofit with Clear Lenses

I did TSX Retrofit which was done like a week ago.
I took couple pics but it isnt great quality since I didnt have much time.
The cut off pic isnt the best one since headlights were just turned on but once they warm up it has very good blue cut off line.
The cut off from like 3 feet away:

Delined headlights:



- Ballasts are denso/koito ballasts with Philips 85122+ bulbs.
- 9006 Harness from retrofit source.
- TSX projectors with factory clear lenses.
- Lexus4jess brackets

Thanks CL.

nice eyebrows,

Always thought that that SC headlights were the worse since the angle of the lens. From what i see it looks really nice

A nice little shroud would have made this retro perfect. Good job anyways. Now post some pics from far away.

Those look AWESOME! I guess Lexus4jess is a member here selling brackets? I need to pick some up soon. These lights beg for HID's.
Do you know anybody else selling these brackets? I heard Luxurymods sold them but I don't see them anywhere.

i feel retarded asking this question, because usually i dont ask retarded questions. Ive seen people do the retro fit...but can somone explain whats the advantage of tsx projector over sc projector? I understand clear lens...its looks good but the projector part puzles me. I've delined a headlights before and its a PITA., i much rather pay for a set of clear ones,..where can i get clear lens anyways? i've searched and couldnt find any.
