Sedan S2000 Projector Retrofit Complete
#106
Those projectors / bezel above are the same ones on my 07 SL 550, and all the headlight has been the same ever since the latest generation SL came out. They just use a wimpy bi xenonj bosch projecotr inside though hehe.
But if you don't plan to modify the rear of your sedan casing, and you push the TSX projector as far back as it'll go, at lesat on the 05-06 sedan, those bezels will cover the front, but once you step to the side, you'll notice a huge gapping hole. If it's not from the top, it's from the side since those SL bezel only cover up the top, and the top of that bezel or shroud is rounded top, not like a box so the more u cut away from it, the less width the front of the bezel becomes.
I used a LS 430 bezel for the 06 tsx projector I did a while back and that barely fit, and the LS 430 bezel actually goes deep before it flares out for me to shave and cut.
Best Regards,
Larry

Larry,
I would like to know your $0.02 on my S2000 conversion, even if you PM it to me because it's not good.

And yes i forgot to mention those are bi xenon projectors on the SL that's why the lens is larger, because they have to push the lense further away from the back half of the projector for the solenoid bi xenon parts so to retain the proper focal output of the light, the lense has to be further away and made larger in diameter.

If so i'll be happy to post it here if you don't mind, this way others can learn about the good things and the "not so good" things hehe.

Yeah, I would like to know what you think. You are the most respected retrofit guy I know of.
So far everyone who has seen them have been very impressed but this was my first retrofit and there are a few things I would change if I could.
If you can offer advise that helps others please do.
