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.

 

Where about in KC are you? I'm in OP and would like to check out your retro in person.

Oh yeah, it's lookin' pretty good so far.

 

wow very nice on the fiberglass work!

 

SCHWEETNESS!....Man wish I had the Skillz to do that!!

 

f*cking sweet homie! Yea your right, making sure EVERYTHING is allinged right is a PITMFA....SERIOUSLY! Its driving me nuts right now. Looking good, cant wait to see the final pics!

 

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.

 

^ ah good eye!

 

yeah men, I got it from ebay. the guy told me they were clear and i got fresnel ones. I didnt bother to return it since it got some decent cutoff.

 

thanks

yo, l like very close to worlds of fun on 435. here is my cell 816-288-0713. hit me up if you wanna check it out.

 

How much did this run you?

 

well, I think am down about $700 for this project. that includes buying an extra set of headlights. its not a cheap project for sure. but the end result is well worth over buying any of these ebay projectors.

 

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Thanks. Did you need the spare set of lights?

 

wow after cleaning this up there isnt much left to it now is there

anyways good luck with your project and if i deleted anyones posts besides slow's repost it if you remember it. sorry it was getting outta control.


from now on all comments are going to be ON TOPIC if you dont like it DONT POST. its that easy.

 

opps i put this in the other thread

 

lol, you made that fool his own thread!



The fiberglass work is pretty good man! Looking nice

 

 

I just saw one post in this forum from somebody with a white tC saying too many ricers in this forum and I refresh my internet then now its deleted.... or am I dreaming?

 

No wonder I wasn't dreaming, it was you that deleted someone's post.... when somebody said "too many ricers in this forums" made me confuse cuz it made me think that I'm driving a Honda Civic, not a Scion tC....

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

 

I appreciate you cleaning this up. now lets this back on topic

 

*Borats voice* Very nice!
Cutoff pics !!
