FX-R retrofit into 2006 sedan
FX-R retrofit into 2006 sedan
As you all know, the sedan doesn't get that nice easy setup the coupe does, and to make it more difficult on myself, I chose to put the FX-R's into the top, preserving the H4 halogens in the lower bay. The G37-R shrouds I purchased went totally unused, due to space constraints; I kept the factory ballasts. Bulbs are 85122+. The project took parts of four days, totaling around 30 hours.

Before, low beams, about 50 feet, through the windshield.

Final bracket design, right headlight.

Reflector cut to fit, left headlight.

Bezel just before cutting, left headlight.

They're hard to see, but there are two small acrylic wings attached to the projector at left and right, painted metallic silver. These hide the screws, brackets, and back of the capsule from easy viewing at the front.

An overhead view of the right headlight. No shroud looks fine IMO, because the FX-R lens has a chrome ring.

Cutoff, about fifty feet, same lot as before. The lot is not perfectly level, so don't mind the slope. Picture taken from alongside the left front fender.

Same as above picture, except picture taken at 6-8 feet.

High beams. FX-R at high, plus the H4 bulbs at high.
