Bang for buck go with TSX with clear replica lenses from retrofit source.(MATT). If you have baller budget than upgrade to S2K.

Ya, TSX's are meh, for the same price or less, RX330/50's are great with a clear lens. SC430's are fairly rare but as good as S2K's if you can find them.....

was wondering which ones had the closest mounting spots that matched up with the oem g35 fog light reflector mounts? by looking at the rx330 projectors.....they look very identical but idk what the measurements are between each spot.

just bought some tsx projectors with clear lenses for $100 shipped. will get them put in as soon as i get them in. and i'll get some clear lenses for the oem projectors up top.

i still have a couple Qs as far as the mods to do to the oem projectors if anyone can shed some light. ill shave off the glare guard and put on clear lenses but im not completely understanding the trimming/bending of the shield. im not tryna be all perfectionist (like usual) with getting the absolute best beam/sharpness/color but i want the beam to be clean and even.

dont remove the glare guard . Its not needed . If you want purple sharp cutoff you will need to grind the heavy sheild to move it up and bend the cutoff shield . If you want a yellow/reddish not as sharp cutoff just do the clear lens replacement

so you dont have to grind out the guard in the actual housing itself? just slot the shield so you can move it up some and bend the cutoff shield. any chance you might have some pix?
