kk well i have some extra lens but how do you mount the lens? do you need to fab a special bracket??
also when the oem lens is changed to for the 2.5" tsx lens, does one have to modify the cutoff plate??

the 06 stock projector lens are 2.5 the signal light will require a 3" lens as i just learned after trying to fit the stock lens into the signal housing.

however the signal light opening in the headlight bezel will hold the stock 2.5" lens

the projector headlights lens is 2.5 the turn signal is 3" i just figured this out the hard way as well. I ended up putting a TSX-R clear lens (2.5) in the projector and an RX350 lens (3") in the turn signal

Ok I am doing my retrofit and I started on the turn signal lens. I bought the FXR 2.5" lens and its atleat 1/4" too big. Way too much grinding if I wanted to go that route. So I searched and there are some 2" lenses that will fit. You can get the fog projectors and cut out the lens. Those lenses are 2". I have an 04 sedan in case you were wondering.

So in short. Dont waste your money on the 2.5" becuase they will not fit. You need at the maximum 2.25" but I think the 2" would be perfect.
