cut down the stock silvia projector

trim it till you can slip through the front of the tsx projector, by this way, so you dont have to fabricate any branket hold the tsx pro into the right place.
you didnt even have cut the rear, the d2s bulb plugs right in the center.

It would also be really helpful if you could describe the wiring needed to properly set this up. Thanks

[bigOdom1]

yeah make a list of the parts that came with the tsx projectors

otherwise nice job

any D2S hid kit will work, plug and play to H1 connector(harness recommanded), no wiring needed

[bananatree]

all you need:
triple or double silvia s13 projector headlight
TSX projector
D2S HID kit
some screws(25mm), must long enough to go through silvia hosing and TSX pro

tools:
drill
anything can cut and trim down metel, I use a dremel rotary tool
philip screw driver
8mm socket

[fueled by hate]

take some output shots where there's some distance between your car and the wall.

I'd like to see front end shots of the car with those projectors. I kinda want to do something like this to my S14 kouki headlights.

TSX lens diameter is 2.5", so figure a few tenths of an inch more for the full bezel thickness.

Not trying to rag on you, but was the front glass pitted to hell? that cutoff looks horrible.

Here's my TSX retro from ~50'. They were a little low when I took the pic. I bought $20 Philips 85122+ bulbs on eBay too. :keke:

[krazydriver]

Thanks for the info!

Tops... that cutoff is awesome! :bigok:

[vutony]

the retro-fit is pointless if the cutoff is not something similar to these

Not completely true, it's better than a kit.
BUT you are right about the cutoff. Distorted cutoff = light being diffused = less output = not as bright.

[Anto]

YOU MAKE ME SO PROUD

Is that your retro, vutony? How is the cutoff vutony posted so much sharper than mine? What projectors are they? I took my pics from ~50', but my cutoff still isn't as sharp as vutony's from 25'. Do the glass headlights have any negative effect?

I NEED ANSWERS!!! I WANT ULTRA SHARP CUTOFF!!!

[bloodangels13]

my cutoff sucks like no other... i need to source me some tsx projectors.. i got everything else... I assume it wouldnt make much diff on install in two projector J's model headlights right?

If ANYONE has some tsx projectors for sale or can get me some pm me the price shipped to 22043-1408 and ill paypal you the money to send them to me

[Aoshi112]

join HIDplanet and look in the for sale section. Some as low as 120+ shipping
