Are OEM TSX bulbs 4300K? That looks good for 4300K.

EDIT: nvm Aaron you just answered my question.

They did. Thanks! I hope the fitment works on the rear. If not, they will go up front!

what about dropping in some 350z projectors...with the shroud ? Also i noticed the cadalac had some cheap lenses tooo. i did find this on youtube, i think its worth the look to retrofit on your own. it is a 4 part video so here is part 1...the other parts will probly be on your righ .

Funny you said that, because I had a friend retrofit 350z projectors in my 98 Eclipse (my previous car). They're just harder to work with because of the shape.

You can make it work, and is probably worth the hassle if you want to retain the silver in your housing (since the projectors are silver as well).

I did my own S2k and TL swap a few years back and it's not that hard. It just takes time to get everything cut out, mount and aim them and then do the finish work with the shrouds and oem shroud. Anyone with average skills can do this mod.

As for ballasts and bulbs I highly recommend Philips 6000k ultinon bulbs. They have great color and still good output.

I'm happy to take on other retrofit jobs as well if anyone else is looking.

I have been wanting projectors on my car for a Long time. If you will start doing it i will defiantly want it, but it depends how much also. It's nothing crazy, just the low beam projector installed and that's it.

i doubt those gatlin gun shrouds will fit up top but will fill in the spot down low nicely. As everyone knows im doing retrofits if anyone wants em. I do it cuz it fun and noone else what to do it. I cant promise the 5 day turnaround as requested by Aaron cuz of the hb meet but i will get it done asap.
