thanks for all the comments guys, the total cost on parts i believe was about $150 (including projectors, shrouds, and shroud centering rings)...i used regular automotive clear like if you were painting a car, wetsanded with 1500 thoroughly, then 2 coats with a 15 minute flashtime in between...total job took me about 12 hours, from start to finish...it definitely is a labor intensive job, with many trial and errors...a dremel is a huge necessity for this as you will have to get into small areas....all in all, i've never done this before, so for you all thinking about it, it can definitely be done with some patience.

had mine done few years back, I went with Accura TL lenses BIxenon, even tho headlights look nice I never had a perfect cut off. I will be replacing my TL lenses to lenses from RSX I believe their size is 2.5 inch instead of TLs 3.0 inch.

very nice! was cutting into the stock OEM housing needed? Im thinking of buying the same Morimoto D2S Minis and was wondering if i could fit them into the headlights without cutting into it.
