Here are a few more from earlier. I got them pretty well lined up now. I would suggest using a dremel and widening the holes where the bolts go to give you more adjustability.

My hood hits my intercooler pipe so I need to adjust the piping so the hood will fit better, but they do fit pretty well.

If you can't get the hood down any farther, you can pull off the front fascia and adjust the front mounting bracket up so that it is even with your hood.

Very bright!!

Aligment is critical, I ball parked them today and let's just say that I have no problem reading the overhead signs on the freeway! aleast one exit up!!! I have to find a dark palce to align them tommorrow. I was planning on getting the HIDs but I just might hold off and enjoy these.

Note I was running PIAA’s Intense White Bulb Type 9005
Wattage 60w = 120w, 4100K in both the HI and the Low beam sockets and there is no comparison.

Thank you! I can't wait to see what these headlights turn out like. I am kinda nervous because they might not turn out good and take away from the car.

Lol why would they not turn out good? You did a lot of work to put these on. I didnt remove the front bumper, but maybe its easier for you, keep us posted.

Believe me, I didn't want to do it. I had to remove the front bumper because I have the 2 intercoolers where you reach up to bolt on the brackets. and the only way you can really put the intercooler brackets back on is from straight on. Everything is blocked once the new headlights are mounted in.

They might look good in my head right now but sometimes it just come out not as good as you thought,lol

Wow, with all these people replacing their stock lights, would anybody be interested in selling me their stock lights? I want to do a true HID retrofit with a TSX projector.

I believe "Jrprich" was going a TSX projector retro on his, but never finished. He couldn' find a suitable trim/bezel for the projector.....and his wifey bought him a set of ACA's. I believe he sold the project in progress to another forum member.

here's the original attempt.

I was going to limo tint the insides black, but I think that it would look better if I didn't.

I went with painting the outside, so it just matches the body of the car and makes smoother blending.
