hidplanet.com or eBay are your best options. Be ready to spend about $300+ for the s2k projectors though.

Well if you have the moolah ($$$) to spend for parts+labor, and you want s2000 projectors (which I think are the best ones to get), there's this company called lightwerks I've been itching to order retro'd projectors from. I'm saving for something else for now, but plan to hit them up soon. Steep price tho

he did mine (clink link in my signature for pics). Ceasar (lightwerkz) does some awsome work! I've tried a couple times on my own and it didn't work. I'm impatient.

i dont have TSX, i have TFX. BIG difference in output, cutoff & width. The TSX comming from the obvious, Acura TSX is an OK projector. I think the best thing for them is their cheap and easy to work with. TFX is what i have an its a Hybrid projector. Using Infiniti FX35 bi-xenon projectors and swaping out the lense with the Acura TSX "clear lense" getting the name "TFX". Using the TSX lense is produces a sharper cutoff and more color at the cutoff in which you will "NEVER" see on a OEM vehicle with projector HIDs.

the TFX is probally the 2nd or 3rd best bi-xenon projector out there with width and intensity. the s2k on the other hand is by far the best single xenon projector out there. Very sharp and wide from stock, slight modding will get color and you dont want to mess with it too much because then you'll start to loose the sharpness and width of the projector.

it just depends on what your looking for and what you want to spend. ill try to get some pics of the back of the housing tomorrow. It actually looks stock, he still used the stock rubber backing of the low beams so nothing special back there.

Well, I might as well go for the s2000 projectors since a lot of peeps think they're the best. I badly need them for my amazingly bad night-vision driving But I'm still saving up some extra cash for some nice rims.
Anyhow, I've since decided to get them from lightwerkz (Caesar, right?) since they're the cleanest retrofit jobs I've seen. I saw one featured car in Modified Mag that had their retros w/ the bezels (?) custom-painted red to match the car's theme. Looked so awesome (those would def. match my red seats).

How long did they take before they finished yours?

they have a waiting list, i think once he had all my parts it took about 2-3 weeks max? To save money on shipping i asked him, on the materials i got from ebay and HIDPlanet.com to ship them directly to him instead of comming to me then spend to ship it to him and he was fine with it. really cool guy to work with and yea he can custom paint the shrouds/bezels, side markers, anything really.
