Hey IvoryGT,
Thanks for the great write-up. I have two questions.
1. Does this mode actually cause the OEM 4300k bulbs to look bluish? I've used Ultinon's 6000k color temp to get that look. So just want to know if I won't need the Ultinons after this mod, or if it will just enhance the output of the Ultinon bulbs.
2. I'm kind of nervous about trying this one on my own. Maybe you can PM me a price to do this mod for me if I sent you my headlamps?
Thanks!

Thanks. So the light will overall be pure white, and only the cutoffs will be bluish. Does this mod also expand the height and width of the OEM beam pattern?
I found a set of recalled '06 projectors and was thinking of retrofitting them into my '03 6MT. If I can still get that bluish tint without buying the D2S Ultinons, I'd rather preserve the light output of the OEM bulbs.
Just waiting for IvoryGT to get back to me on whether he can help me out with this mod!
Thanks,
Brian

1. Can you describe the "flicker" you're talking about? Not sure I know what you mean...but it sounds interesting.
2. So the TSX projectors produce about the same color light as the OEM's, right? What about the height/width of the beam pattern? Is that increased?

Alot of other cars with projector headlights do it, just start paying attention to tsx's and s2000s at night, they have probably the best flicker. You are just using the tsx lense in the g35 projector, so the output and beam pattern is alot like stock
