TSX reborned... - High-Intensity

JJang12 · 04-04-2007, 04:43 PM

I always envied the bright white light from BMW, Audi, MB, Porsche, and S2k. So I decided to build my own headlights. I had no prior knowledge of what to do and how to do. I just baked my headlights and began the retrofit.

2005 March

and the final outcome

Not too bad for first timer, right??

Here are some pictures shots from aboved set up...

JJang12 · 04-04-2007, 04:51 PM

I enjoyed my set up thoroughly for about 2yrs. Then... there was an accident. I had to ride in a rental car for 3-4 wks while my car was under repaired. Damn... Halogen sux. Even before my car was done repairing, I arranged with Caesar @ Lightwerkz for the retrofit. I chose Caesar to perform the retrofit after I saw all professionally done products. And here they are. Much much more improved then my ghettoish one.

**High-Intensity** · 04-04-2007, 06:35 PM

JJang12 · 04-04-2007, 09:05 PM

hmm... was mine that bad??? lol~ give me some credit to my first retro-fit on WRX cars

i didn't know that e46 bezel will fit

Man your new lights are so hot. I was trying to keep my e46 shrouds chrome when I was making my retrofit, but it didn't work. Very nice. Your car looks great too, I love the fmic.

**LightWerkz** · 04-06-2007, 10:10 PM

this was actually the second set of chromies I had done, the process is near impossible, and keeping the original chrome housings chrome after all the trimming that needs to be done, another hard task in itself.
