any chance to work on this yet Darryl? Hope it's not turning into too much of a headache

Hopefully it turns out pretty nicely. I've been wanting to do it but I need some sort of confirmation that things would work nicely before doing. However, from what I've seen the shrouds seem to be the only problem for now right?

couldnt get the bulb to sit correctly with the supplied bulb holder the bulb sat a little out of place so i rigged it. (couldnt thread anymore)

You have to trim the bulb itself in order for it to fit right. I used a drum sander on a dremel for it. Took like 20 seconds a bulb. As for the tight fit, it is a bit tight but it works fine, you just need to trim a little for shroud fitment.

Wow. I really interested in doing this. I have a couple of questions.

Once you set the projectors in your headlights, how do you adjust these up/down? Do you just have to use the OEM adjusting knobs?

Thanks,

From the looks of it, this is a tough fit for our headlights due to the fact that we're not cutting anything so the projector pops out way too much. And if you add a shroud on, it seems like a super tight fit. I think I'm just going to do a TSX retrofit this summer instead of this.

Fitment of the projector lens to the oem lens itself is tight. As for the shroud it will fit fine. Either way pulling up to a TSX with these put them to shame. I wouldn't change my decision if I had to do it again.
