The wiring harness is the group of wires in the back of the headlight which supplies the power for the HID, the H4, the signal, the clearance strips. I need the wires for my retrofit wiring.

The bezel is the plastic chrome piece that you see in front of the reflectors.

PM me if you're serious about buying one of the lights.

Unfortunately I can't take on any commitments for any retrofits for anyone. Work's going to get busy in the next few weeks, and the amount of time and labor needed for a quad projector setup is crazy. Littodevil on hidforum I think charges $2500 for quad projectors. Even that seems a little low to me, based on the time and the projectors (TLs, S2000s, TSX's) involved.

OK, I have to say they are nice!!! But at the cost of just getting the '06 to bolt on, which I think is $1200 for the set is the work/cost of a retrofit really justifyable? I'm just wondering, don't get me wrong.

On a side note, I'm just looking to upgrade my '05 light bulbs. Can anyone give me some suggestions? What I'd like to do is get a brighter xenon bulb for the headlights, get a brighter bulb for the fogs (Sylvania Cool Blue or Silverstars any good?), and mabye a brigher bulb for the corner light (the long slit one). If you do suggest something, could you please give me detailed info., like model numbers and where to get them? Thanks.

You can get 06 projectors for even cheaper than $1200. More like $580. But in terms of retrofit vs 06 lights, it depends on what you're looking for. If you just want projectors, get the 06 lights. But if you're into clear lenses, washer mods, hybrid projectors, quad projectors, then you'll want a retrofit to get exactly what you want. Most people wouldn't care about the stuff in the previous sentence, but if you do, then you'll have to retrofit, or open up your 06 lights.

You can do a retrofit for $150 worth of material. That's not expensive.

OK, how and where can you get the '06 light assembly for $580? I've seen one side for $580 each. Please enlighten me.

Oh OK, that price is for the light assembly only. No bulbs, etc. I've seen the entire '06 light assembly package (bulb included) for $1200. Which will make everything a simple bolt on replacement deal. I'm really wondering if it will be worth it. But sure would be nice to have projector HID's again.

Good to see you around, Larry (littodevil), and excellent work as usual. It's cause of your influence that I went with a quad projector setup of my own with 4 stanley projectors. https://g35driver.com/forums/g35-coupe-v35-2003-07/80078-tsx-tl-quad-projector-retrofit-installed-will-update-better-pics-future.html

If you ever are successful in modding those Matsu****a ballasts let me know....

You look just like this lawyer friend of mine in LA.
