Just wanted to give a little update for you guys. I got the acrylic rod today. They are going to look really good I think. To answer chubbykai yes the slots will make light refract better. I plan on making these cuts to the rings. Hopefully I will get to start fabricating the rings tomorrow. I will post another update if I start working on them. Take care guys and gals.

DUDE!!! You totally stole my idea!! j/k. I am sooo glad someone else is on the same mindset as I am! I have some of my own ideas and as soon as I get my '08 headlights from SOMEONE, then I'll post up a thread just like this or within this one. My best wishes are to you bud, and I will definitely be watching this thread closely!
I do have one question, those chrome rings on the headlight already...do they come off at all or can they come off?

i have a question for you guys who are familiar with the 08 headlights. how hard would it be to swap out the projector for a tsx one? would you have to do any fabrication, or would it just involve drilling some holes to mount into. i love the look of projectors, but i don't have the confidence or patience to retrofit my reflector headlights. i also don't have the money to have someone do it for me.
