Projector Conversion

Who else has done projector conversions on their headlights. Also has anyone thought of using the projectors out of the Q. If they would fit they would look awesome.

I would love to see what others have done with their headlights so please post some pics!!

The Q45 projectors are nice, but you'll lose high beam function since they're not bixenon. They will be near impossible to put in the low beam section.

There are a few sedan and coupe projector retrofits. Look in the lighting section of the forum. I did the very first G35 retrofit 3 years ago, I've since revised the lights. I'm almost done with my 6th G35 retrofit, just waiting on some clear lenses. (I'm not doing those for anyone in particular, I'm just trying to get lights out of the house, tired of all these headlights and HIDs sitting around).

I just finished a S2000 retrofit on my sedan.

If you want low beams only the S2000 and TSX are the best ones made right now. The TL is the best bi-xenon.

nice your quads look really sharp...did they improve how far you get light down the road? or the overall light pattern?

Sedan projector

Just got them installed, loving the look! & it's 2x brighter!


Only did the low beam, don't really use fog/high beam.
My fog is upgraded to Osram Silverstar, ~30% brighter than stock.
But the projector really put the fog into shame.

Do you have any other shots of the installation of the TSX lens? (the process of installing it). I have been trying to decide how to install my TSX lenses now, and I can't tell if I should pull off the existing shroud on the stock headlight and mount it to the bracket behind it, or mount it directly to the existing shroud by drilling holes through it. If you look closely on yours, can you see the mounting holes of the TSX lens behind the shroud? Thanks.

Sorry, I can't help you here, I have no clue how it was done & what was done to it. PM Litodevil maybe he could help you.
