Hey all. I don't visit much (i'm a regular on nissanclub), but I thought some of you would be interested in doing this.

Some of you know that for the past two years I have been trying to gain info on installing projector headlights. I contacted a few companies who make afermarket ones for Honda and other cars, but none seemed to have an interest in us. :soapbox: I then looked into retrofitting. Alas, I had to do it - and I'm (almost) done, after two attempts.
This is not a write-up, and it would probably take me forever to do one. Yes, I know it's not perfect - and I know only one of my angel eye rings works
Story time...
In December 2006, I did a retrofit with Lexus IS350 D2S projectors. They use 3" fresnel lenses. It was eh...
That's gone.
In June 2007, I started picking up parts for a dual retrofit.
I did a little bit more research and found that the Acura TSX and Infiniti FX35 projector assemblies were the best bang-for-the-buck.
Then, in early August I started working on cutting and installing. It took two working days.
Here's what I did...
new aftermarket clear-reflector headlights
removing stuff from rear of assembly
FX35 projector assembly
FX35 projector assembly, apart
FX35 projector assembly, shield
FX35 projector assembly, lens removal
lenses were removed because I swapped them for greater output on the FX35 housing. This is known as a TFX hybrid setup.
removal of reflector
fun with the saw
test fitting the TSX projector assembly with FX35 lens
rear shroud to cover up the mount
more cutting to fit the FX35 projector assembly (TFX)
painted the reflectors black
mounting the TSX projector assembly with FX35 lens
testing aiming... this took many attempts at many different distances
rear and front shrouds
mounting both assemblies
