Ive been doing some reading on a couple forums (HIDPlanet, Retrofit Source, etc.) and I'm really set on doing q45 projectors on the bottom with tsx on top. Now my problem is I still want to be able to use my high beams. I've read there is a way to mod the TSX to be high/low but it is very difficult. Has anyone modded there TSX projectors to be high/low? Really kinda torn here looking for some projector guru advice

Just a pic for reference

 

Don't have any useful tips but where did you get the gatling gun projectors from and are they OEM?

 

If you're talking about the picture that's not mine that's another members on the board i was just using it for a reference, haven't bought the projectors yet because I still haven't decided if I'm willing to lose the high beams. If you're looking for some I seen a FS thread on here where a guy was selling a set of OEM ones.

 

Oh shoot, thanks for the info, thought it was yours. I was gonna say use the Q ones as low beam, but i'm assuming the tsx is a better project for the low beam?

 

Ya the Qs aren't the best lightoutput, don't get me wrong they are still better than stock but i just love the way they look. Glad this thread could be of help to someone LOL.

 

Hopefully someone can help you out now, lol

 

Hopefully my ADD doesn't kick in and start making me buy parts lol.

 

Lol...sounds like me, haha

 

the q45 projectors look nice, but do you think the light output from G headlights is that bad? I think its very good.

 

I'd lose the TSX projectors. If you want both high and low beam on them, you're going to have to mod them to be bixenon with a movable shield and solenoid. Larry on HIDplanet did it, but back then, your choices for bixenon were mainly E55 or RS6 projectors. The TSX was more compact and had a sharper cutoff compared to those two.

Nowadays, you have more options. I would fit a FXR in the top for low/high function, and go with the Q45 in the lower portion.

 

Nice thanks for the info! I was looking at FXR but for some reason the thought never crossed my mind because i kept hearing about how TSX provides the best light output.

I don't think its that bad but it could be better lol also I wanted to go with a Quad set up and if I didn't do the retro I'd have too much glare IMO. The 8000ks i have on right now from the previous owner do set off some glare so i doubt putting another set would help. To be honest i just love the look of the Q45s I think they're going to look sick.

 

could always go with g35 projectors which are bi .Then color mod by moving the guide up and bending the shield

 

Ya looks like i got some more reading to do, Already bought the shrouds so hopefully ill have all the parts within the next couple weeks so i can get started
