What projector/reflector are you using it from? Im about ready to retrofit hids myself.

i just bought a cheap eBay angel eye projectors, because the diamter i was working with was close enough. the Nissan hid kit came with D2R bulbs and i don't need that..

this is what i bought... some parts i already had

2000 Civic Single angel eye projectors $35 eBay.
2003 Nissan/Infinity *Matsumura/Panasonic* HID Kit off of G35 $200
2005 Audi A6 D0T projectors $130
Osram D2S bulbs $60
High Temp black paint $11
JB welds, extra stuffs $30 tops

it'll look something like this for A6 projectors, but this pic; the projectors needs to be aligned and re-aimed
& you can also tell the differences on using flash and no flash

has a pretty decent cutoff.

wow nice, that what i always wanted that bright of light since i've seen it on an EVO, damn but so out of my budget, so is it the HID that makes its spread out evenly or is it the HID, or would i have to get both for the evenly spread bright white, like the one i;ve seen on an EVO?

 

[EK9]

yea EVO's projectors are soo expensive ... over rated IMO

it's both combination of HID and HID Projectors.

here is my deal: Most people will charge you $300 - 400 just on labor alone.. that' kinna outrageous... i only charge $200 for oem housing and $170 on TYC projectors .. and that's TYC only. others varies..

i can get HID Kit for $150 - $200 tops... Projectors .. varies depending on what you want.. EVO, S2000 are hard to get and very expensive, if you got the money there you have it

But i love the output on TSX ... i let my cousin drive my car... i was in front with my accord.... a lot of blue/pruple/white/yellow... some angle when we were turning i saw a bit of red

Ok, time for my questions..

I saw some pricing for your labor and had a few more..

How much for you labor if I wanted TSX projectors and using OEM headlamps? I can probably provide you with the HIDS. How will the connections be? Do I have to splice into the stock wiring system to get this to work? What about Bi-Xenon, won't work huh?

What is the average prices for TSX HIDS? I want to know so I can offer a lower price at the junkyard. If the price is too high for tsx, what other projectors/hids do you reccomend on getting?

Hey $200 for stock housing and i will paint the housing black if you want.
TSX projectors are going to cost you around $200 - $280 depending on where you buy it, if you can find one @ junkyard try to get it for cheap. So on TSX projectors it varies. Bi-Xenon will be bit harder on wiring system if you want bi-xenon that's not a problem for me but you'll need to do the wiring through your harness and crap.

Splicing your harness question i have
1)Yes you can go ahead and do that
2)I can make you a little harness so it'll be plug & play for extra $10 that's just parts no labor charge
3)You can run it yourself to the battery and have a switch or whatever.

If you can not find a good price for TSX i only have 3 i do rec.
1)Audi A4/S4 H7 Valeo DOT or even ECE with H7 adapter
2)Audi A6 Single not RS-6
3)BMW E46 3Series

Here are some night shot of the TSX into my civic headlights.. i made the passenger side flare up a more so if there is a person walking or jogging at night or any object i can see it... i think that's how it is in Europe ..

 

[[civic]]

It has a real nice cutoff. Is it possible to make the cutoff more straight, or is it just the way the projectors are? Can I adjust the beam while the lights are in the car?

I saw screws in the housing for adjusting, explain how those work. Will it also be visible to the eye when installed?

Thanks...

 

[EK9]

the cut off can be str8 .. i had them str8 before i just wanted the flare up more so it give off a bit more color...

screws will be mounted and secured, you'll need to adjust the lights by your stock deal... there is one phillips screw below, a nut screw at top and not the least the crappies screw ever.. the plastic wheel deal...you'll need to adjust with that..

 

[LatinEM2]

so what will the total price be for the one that u made? TSX's projectors...

 

[EK9]

I'm selling this one for $615 + shipping 3.5% Paypal Fee But i can do $600 for Clubcivic

$190 for TSX projectors
$200 for Nissan Maxima HID Kit with 85126+ 5000K Phillips bulbs
$25 for beezles
$200 for labor

 

[ferio-moreno]
