I tried but I get a message saying I'm not allowed. Yeah I worked on it all weekend and a total of maybe about 13 hours.

Do you have any nightshots? I'd asume the cutoff would not be as crisp as a single projector? Since the light is dispersing at multiple beams. I'm guessing brightness is between standard HID and projector HID, post night shots please'

Yeah the light output isn't great but it's ok.

Nice reto. From those pictures is looks very OE. Too bad we didn't get projectors in the sedan until after the redsign. ):

Actually, the cut off on those with a little modification can be great. It is slightly fuzzy from the factory, but you get some great light output from the 7 beams. Beautiful projector. Looks like a perfect fit too.

Nice looking car too, btw.

Make sure to set aside a weekend to do it. I had to take care of my two young boys while doing this so if I had the time I would have took pics step by step to put together a DIY but just didn't have the time.

I know for the price that we paid for the G you would think it should have come with projectors.

They look like they were a direct fit into the fog light housing were they? I think a set of TSX projector retro fit for the headlights will finish it off.

Looking good, definately post some night shots of the lights. Also your cardomain page mentions IS300 lip spoiler. I did a quick search on eBay, but can't seem to find the one that you have. All the results seem to turn up the M3 style lip spoilers. Any more details as to where you got your spoiler?
Thanks,
