Custom Made G35 Coupe Projectors!
Interesting, I did not know there was a demand for TSX headlights. I work as a service advisor for Acura, and the TSX and the MDX headlights both have moisture problems and I warranty a set every week, warranty does not call for them and we throw them away, I wonder how much it would cost if I provided my own TSX headlights?
Have to be honest here! The bottom looks great, the top looks like $HIT. Coke cans only work if 90% don't show. In your case it looks like you mounted projectors in coke cans and glued them to your headlights.

I dont think $800 is steep at all, look at his first post..
1) dual projector retrofit
2) paint housing
3) CCFL in the clearance
4) demon eyes
5) cleared out turn signal
find me another vendor who will do all of this for <$800...

Then on top of that the labor (prob. quick of painting your housings), not to forget the clearing out of the turn signal in teh headlight which is also not simple.....thats at least a weeks worth of labor if not more...

Thought I'd bump this thread. There's alot of irony going on if you read from the first post on.
Ed was getting his lights professionally done.
People were waiting for installed pics. I would have loved to see beam pattern pics with all 4 projectors on from about 25 feet (how come no one with quad projectors posts beam pattern pics?)
I was still waiting for my TL clear lenses, and since then my retrofit was completed, with pics littered throughout.
Here's the part I don't get.....
But when you go to hidretro...
http://www.hidretro.com/page46.htm
There's the exact same pics of the lights?
I'm trying to see if they had to extend the dustcap for the low beam with JB weld and such, because that tends to hit the fenderliner, but all of the pics just miss that angle to be able to tell this.

He's actually professional. He quoted me $900 for parts AND labor. I guess i WILL shop around..
But regardless, you did a nice job.

You say you did all that custom work yourself....but need to take them to your "auto guy" to have them put in????
What's the deal with that.....that would seem to be the easy part.
