My FX35 projector retrofit

Well I've owned my FD about close to 3 years now and while driving at night, the lights didn't do it for me. I've always wanted PROPER lights, no chinese, koren or whatever plug and play units. I wanted projectors with proper cut offs. Here is what I retrofitted in my 1993 rx7

Projector: Infiniti fx35 bi xexon projectors with tsx clear lens
Bulbs: Oem phillips d2s bulbs
Bezel: Tsx
Ballasts: Denso gen 2

I'm probably forgetting some stuff, anyways on to the pics..

*NOTE*

I am not a professional photographer and the pics ARE way clearer and brighter in person. The pics simply do not do justice. Plus it doesnt help that my car was vibrating

PICS!

I will take some additional pictures of the housing today when I get home from work. As for your FC, its my buddy who actually did the retrofit, I was going to do it myself then realized I'm too lazy and its not as simple as putting the projector in and fire it up.

For the record they now make FX35 replica lenses in true clear so you don't have to dick around with getting proper spacing of the TSX lenses on a FX35 projector for a proper focal point. They are what I'll be using on my FX35 retro coming this summer on the FC.
