If you are looking for a brigher and better looking lights than stock u have couple of choices.Ebay diamon cut is pre bright and cheap or best one i have right now is hella h4 conversion headlights with white silverlight bulbs. They give really nice light output and u have a really nice cut close to projector.
H4 conversion headlights with plug and play hid kit is a another option that i wont recoment. They is lots of glare doent matter what headlight you use. Best option is the retrofit. which getting projectors from cars that have xenon projectors with cutof plate whis gives you the brightest and cleanses look. what i used FX bixenon clear projectors 50 watts 6000 k ds2 kit ebay black projectos housing (i got the cheapest one and its glass not plastic!!) 2 perma poxy stick black spray paint this is what i got from ebay, its got a glass which is pre good lol projector in the middle is just a bent glass Attachment 720930 bixenon projectors Attachment 720931 i heat the headlight in the oven at 350 for 5 10 minutes and then cracked it right open Attachment 720932 Attachment 720933 try to see how i wanna put it in Attachment 720934 took the projector a part start cutiing the pieces that i dont need Attachment 720935 |

Cool man. I got some actual Osram Sylvania 4300K D2S with the AMP connectors when I got the TSX projectors.
Attachment 720966 I really like the way yours came out though, I want to see the difference between the highs and lows. I'm losing out on my high beam with the TSX units.... |
Why dont u try to put a driving light in side your bumper lens? i was at pepboy yesterday and i was a driving light that was really skinny and long right size to fit it there.I am still going to do that after this is done
Its been more than a week and i am still waiting for my hid kit to finish this

these are going to put out more light than little driving light stuffed behind the ftp anyways. I still might due fog lights but I have to find just the right lamps.

Also, I installed PIAA driving lamps with 6000k HID into the grill work. Wired so they go on automatically with the high beams to create essentially a 4 bulb headlight set up. |
njgreen- how long ago did you buy those tsx projectors? why not the minis?
|
So do these fit in the car?

I just figured he half-assed this project like he half-assed his Elementary School English classes. |
