I personally would not have painted the housings black......
Also, I would have cleaned/polished the lenses before putting everything back together.
Otherwise, looks pretty good.

I feel like they don't seem quite as big when there not crome lol they don't stand out so much. The car needs some body work and is most likely going to painted black over the summer

I feel like your bigger blinker light throws it some and think that it might look better with another in the other main light spot

Looks good man....you should get a pic a night with you in the driver seat and the lights shining up against the garage so we can see that nice cutoff line.

While I was doing it I had a few other ideas I didn't get to do with these like I want a smaller projector dor the forward turn with a switchback led in it. And I kinda enjoyed doing it lol and my friend does vinyl wrapping he offered to wrap the car for 500$

That's not a bad deal. What projectors were used?
Clear lense or Fresnel lenses?

I would do business with you in a different way, if you made me a set of projector lights with NEW headlights and some tsx projectors/clear lenses. If that were possible I would possibly do it.
Of course I would buy all the supplies. And I have a mind set of clean/new looking headlights everything would have to be brand new and shipped to you. I've got a set of headlights on my car now, had em for 2.5 years now and still look brand new/factory. Back then I bought new headlights off eBay, took em apart, cleared the corners, painted the bezel and put it all back together. Made sure the lenses were clean along with the bezel on reassembly, still look fantastic.
I don't like the lenses when they are all faded and nasty. So that's why I just bought new lights instead of doing my old ones.
Then that means I'd have to buy new hid kit and adapters for the bulbs and blah blah blah.
Still a thought, if your down I might go through with it, but it would be a bit before I could go through with it since all the stuff I gotta buy.

That sounds like a good deal. Now the real question is how much to charge for labor? lol

i can do that for you sleepy. do you know the size of the tsx projectors? thats the only real variable besides for devil eyes or city lights being added to them. also would you want them painted? if so what kind of paint? the reason im asking is because i did a set for my friend using truck bed lining. it took forever to dry and was a real pita to work with. mine are just flat high heat engine enamel. the next ones i make for myself im going to try black crome

I believe 3-4.5 inch I forget I'd have to look. Gloss black paint I might paint em who knows ill have to total everything out and see what I want to do, I don't HAVE to upgrade to projectors... My lights work/look great as is but it would be a nice addition.

there going to be a tight fit might require some trimming but we can make it work i used a 2.5in projector and it was a nice fit.

Can you post a picture of them on a wall or garage door so I can see the cutoff. Its a huge factor for my consideration of these
where do i order HID lights from? whats better 35w or 55w?

when you put the projectors in the housing what did you do to make shure they were aimed, just by eye?

Before I mounted the projectors I sat them on the floor hooked them up to a power sourse and marked the light on the wall with painters tape and also marked the location on the floor. Also made sure they looked right on the car before finishing mounting the projectors . I changed the angel eye to the xbaled from trs much brighter and doesn't have the dark spot at the bottom like the ccfl ones do.

The projectors also have a high beam feature that moves the cut off line and allows a broader beam. The harnes came with splitters so the projector stays on when the high beams are on. Amazing for back roads and flashing ppl haha
