When you become filthy rich after mass producing these cool products, will you donate some money to St. Judes or another charity geared towards kids for me?

K thanks ^_^

You did the color mod? Also I have a pair of FX 35 projectors that I am taking out of my current conversion headlights. Could you work with those. That plastic housing is bad ass. :rockon:

I'm doing more paintwork LOL. I'm seriously going to attempt to open the stock headlights so I can retrofit for Nee. Just that one of them has cracks in the lens...those annoying ones. I might use those G3 projectors if they turn out alright.

Thanks,
with the modern projectors you're limited to using a halogen mdx projector only. with oem you can use pretty much anything. get a set of oem style depos and use those.

These you can see with the light on or off, they're mild, and not all that large. You can't feel them though, the lens cracked from the inside.

OK thanks for the info i will probably just do that.

As for the projectors i see that you are using ones from Acura TL. My friends was telling me that one of the best ones are FX-R projectors. Do you have any experience with them?

sorry for the noob questions :)

its a matter of preference really. tl's are the best bi xenon projector. however, the are a pita to retro. e55's are decent, cheap, and popular for neons because of the size. fx-r's are a good combo of the previously mention projectors. its light output surpasses the e55's and is ALMOST competitive with tl's. and they're a hell of alot easier to retro than tl's

the best of the best projectors are s2000's but they're expensive as hell, and are single xenon only. a replica is in the works and should be available by x-mas so i'm told.

with all that said, you don't HAVE to go with the best projector because any one that you chose (other than e46's) will have a better output than stock
