    Default FINALLY my TSX retro DONE!! **Pics**

    Well after a long battle with putting these headlights in they are finally done and now I can see at night! I took the Acura TSX projectors and all its parts and did my magic. If you would like to see the enitre walk through process you can go here (http://forums.importatlanta.com/showthread.php?t=78929 ) and read on all the ups and downs from this build

    NOTE ON THE CUT OFF: when i took the pics I hadnt the time to aim the headlights they are all good now!


    NOW TO THE PICS!

    Well done, looks good. How much did it end up costing you?

    little less then 1k I would have been better off sending it to someone else to make it for me but had i not had the problem with frying ballasts instead of fuses I would have saved $275

    Good job on those! My friend completely kicks ass at stuff like this! Been doing it for years now on the side along with custom L.E.D taillights (not ricey by far) and the blacked out front housings with 1-2 projectors..

    I was thinking of doing LEDs in the headlights too where the like it on the bottom of the headlight but really didn't want to get more into it then i did. I have seen others with my car that have done it and it looks nice!
