    Yeah, i saw the pics that Lightwerks have on their site. Seem like they do a good job, but they seem pricey too. cheaper than authentic JDM headlights though. lol

    I may just be willing to do this. im tired of having nasty looking headlights and doing headlight restoration every month.

    if you are down i can help open them up but as far as fitting a different projector and projector housing i would be clueless on doing it maybe if i did research i could maybe figure it out not sure though. seems like another project to add to my endless mod list.

    im down! i just want my headlights to have the JDM style (paint the housing black and put the amber on the bottom) and to double seal everything up again so that condensation in the the headlight is reduced. i don't really mind the light that my projectors emit.

    well i can do all that minus the jdm style amber part.The real jdm headlights have a amber reflector piece down at the bottom and a clear one on top. Our usdm ones only have the amber deflector piece on the top and no deflector on the bottom. The only way to achieve that look is to actually paint that part of the head light with amber tint spray.(this is from what i remember from opening my headlights)

    now the question comes down to this is is just pretty much swapping our the projector lenses into our current projector housing? If its that simple then it shouldnt be to bad if anyone is willing to donate a broken headlight for a good cause plz pm me :) ill pay shipping or whatever

    thanks i saw that thread but what it looks like he did was use the whole projector housing of the tsx and not just the lens. Im wondering if evo guys can get away with just swapping the projector without having to mess with the projector housing as well. Seeing how this guy did it though im not sure if you can do that or not i will be pm'ing him on evom thanks for the link brother!

    I just got a quote from "El Stig Garage" He told me $710 for TSX projectors with TSX-R clear lens and installation.
    I'm talking to one other Company from Instagram. I think he might be a bit cheaper. will see.
    I'll keep you guys updated.

    damn, that's a bit steep. I think you can probably find someone cheaper.
