Another TSX retro Done!!!!!!! ye ya
After getting identical parts as Yanki01, I finally embark on my reto project. This is by far the hardest project yet for my tc. Aiming those projectors were a b****. but I know it will be worth it at the end.
Parts used
E46 shrouds
tsx projectors
umnitza halos
Matsu____a Ballast
Philips D2S 4300k OEM bulbs
Home made relay harness
first couple of pics are just testing fitment
comparison between stock and hid's
Bare in mind the hid's are not properly aimed
daytime comparison. This is what keeps me motivated. I love these pics
After several failed attempts to fit the shrouds with the projectors while maintaining the correct height and aim, I decided to incorporate fiberglass in my shrouds for a close to perfect fit.
Primered
Painted black. but had to resand as it was not smooth enough. checking fitment
I didnt forget the passengers side headlight, thats also in the works.
things remaining are the passenger side headlight. I also broke all three of the umnitza halos so I need to replace those. i'll keep yall posted.

Nice... Although, you got the wrong TSX projectors. The pair you have is the Fresnel lenses. These are the latest TSX projectors. The older model are the ones with clear lenses. I think that's what you want for distinctive cutoff. In any case, I am impress with the fiber glass extension.

BTW, your headlights looks great! I wish I could do that but I will do my project differently, I am going to experiment on the ANZO's headlight and try to do something different
