Thanks guys. Shrouds are custom made. The bi-xenon projectors are from an Infinity FX35 and if you search ebay, you sometimes get lucky.

Does any1 have a complete retrofit run through (from scratch)? I remember reading a run through once a while ago..but I cant find it.

One other question, I still need the high beam function. Is it possible to use projectors complete with bi-xenon unit? I'm concerned about the rear part of the headlight since there's not much room even in stock condition

any suggestion?

I'm a new owner of a blue fit sport. I was a owner of a 05 carbon grey TSX until that was totaled at my University. I love everything about the fit except the lights. Stepping down from projector HIDs to regular halogens is a big jump. I miss the light output from the HIDs. I've been reading a lot about the retrofit, and it seems like the right answer to my lighting dilemma. Does anyone here sell the retrofitted headlamp? I don't have the time to do it myself, or does it even take that long to complete? Is there a guide available here?

Thanks!

If you dont have time I've seen people on HIDplanet.com offering their services. I think its like 800 bucks for them to do a retrofit. I think that includes the price of parts too but I never looked into it much cause 800 is just wayy too much. What you should've done is grabbed the TSX projectors from your wrecked car. Those are worth a TON!

The front end of the TSX was totally gone. Drunk driver hit it while I was visiting some friends at school.

Yeah, it was a lot easier than I thought. The only thing that I still have to conquer is aiming them (hardest part probably) and I don't know if I should try modding the projectors for some better output.

nice going..

planning on posting walk-through write up? what do you do to the back of the headlight? how much does the unit stick out?
