Re: WHAT!?!?! Chido's doing a retro??? (56k warning) **UPDATE!**

Not sure. The headlights i had stashed for a while, the bulbs and ballasts cost around 170, the projectors and shrouds i got in a package deal along with a spare ballast and a bulb. All the wiring and components were misc purchases that i didn't keep track of.

looks like your using t-taps for your drls? i'm not sure how well that works with 12v lines and vibration. i was always suggested to solder for power lines. are those 14awg wires?

Can't wait to do a TSX retro for my car!

Yeah the t-taps are mostly for experimentation, and it is 14awg wire. Once everything is test fitted i plan on incorporating the wiring into the HID loom to keep the wiring super clean. :ugh2:

you should get the tsxr lenses for an even sharper cut off. i have them on my 5th gen retro and it drastically changed output and cutoff for the better and they are pretty cheap too. also if u lightly spray the cut off shield flat black it will take away alot of the "tsx flare" and help cut off and output.
