HIDs done right! More to come...
Tuesday, December 20, 2005 12:44 PM
Here it is the real way to do HIDs, a complete retro.

Using color-modded TSX Projectors, night pics will show how intense these are.
Housings painted with Flat Black High Temp Stove Paint, both projector and stock reflector
These are 4300k Bulbs... and the pics tonight will show how much color you can get from 4300s alone without losing light from the cheap HID kits.

The housing is missing a bezel, because its replacement is in the working
More to come:
Dual Blue Angel Eyes on a switch
Some more work on the projectors these pics will hint to them in a crude way.


Clear Reflector on side marker
Halogen Projector for turn signal bulb

On to the pics:

First Hack job at headlight modification long ago:


Start pic - the bezel:


Stock TSX Projector


TSX Projector normal cutoff line:



Contrast Pic... Take a guess which is modded:


Color modded Pic of Cutoff:



We like cutting up stock parts!


TSX Projector Painted


Housing with projector: (Dont worry the lens wasnt fully on so that clip is supposed to be sticking out




Front Shot:




Am going to be fixing some more of the aiming yet and get some better pics of the output at night, wish I had a contrast of how crappy older bulbs were compared to these.

Here are some night pics, will get some better in the next couple days when i can clean the car up a little, its hella dirty.

Still need to adjust a little more to get the beams lined up perfectly but its pretty close for a first time.

Looks good so far. You gonna do anything for the highbeams since the tsx's are low beam only.

You only need the projectors from the housing. If the housing was intact i would take the bulbs and ballasts as well

that looks hawt but i dont like your clear corner lights at all, i think those with the stock corners(orange) would look SEXY

Well I think they are pretty close to being done, touch them up with some paint tomorrow and clean them up and seal them shut, mount the ballasts and I am done with this phase some more to come when stuff gets in.

Thugn - The clears will have some more done to them yet, right now there is no bezel and no reflector at all in the housing, the clears are getting a second projector lens to cover them and make it look like a dual projector setup, and the bezel being gone makes it look way off.

Also forgot to add that I still need to put my better chrome bezel on them to accent it a litte more
