Real Q45 projectors will run anywhere from $300-500 for a pair.

You are probably right. However, for those looking for a cheaper solution I'm sure it will be fine. As for me, I'm fine without Q45 projectors... or any projectors for that matter.

Would you be ok loosing output over the existing reflector oem setup?

Also can you even run D2S bulbs in those?

IMO the only way to do a projector retrofit is the right way the first time with no regrets.

I second that. That goes along for the whole moddin process as well. Save up and get what you really want instead of settling for something that you'll be happy with for a couple weeks or so

is it to get xenon lights for non-premium bitches?

Because Acura has some of the best projectors out there. Well... Stanley has some of the best projectors out there and puts them in Acuras.

It puts down the light so much better than reflectors, premium or not.

+1

For output, go with the TL's bi-xenon projectors or the S2000/ TSX's low beam projectors.

As of the Q45 projectors, the geniune ones are north of $300+ for sure
