Save up and get a retrofit with S2K projectors.

 

S2K would be really good but pricey.
You can go TSX which are not as great but still good quality.

 

Yeah, I'm a working college student so budget is a big issue =P

 

Most people I think go TSX because of the price. Better bang for the buck I guess....
I went TSX and I love them

 

To be honest I dont know jack about headlights. Could the TSX (you are refering to the acura TSX-right?) headlight set just plug right in?

 

Yes we are referring to Acura TSX...

 

FX-R bi xenons.. they have a sharper cutoff then my TSX's

 

No there will be quite a bit of modifying required. You will need new wiring and new bulbs. I didn't do mines I payed someone to retrofit for me. I would do a search and your find lots of info on retrofits and might have a better idea on which way you would like to go depending on your budget.

 

yeah... from wat i've seen in pics... the rx330 with clear lenses is just as sharp and has a blue band on it.. i've been using a lot of them lately.. they are cheaper than tsx's also... but yeah retrofit would be best instead of aftermarket projector headlights..

 

How much would a retrofit run me?

 

Any where from 300 to 2000 depending on if you DIY or have them made and which parts/ configuration you want.
I personally like TL projectors a lot better.

 

Well considering I was willing to drop $300 on a set of aftermarket projectors that doesnt seem too bad. Im new to the retrofit thing, as to alot of other things not engine related. Whats does retrofitting entail?

 

s2k all the way..

 

but you will have lots of help from people here....just make your decision after considering all the options first

 

Well I dont think I want to try to retro fit, especially since it would be a first time DIY. Also because I have no tools or a shop since Im away at school. I just did alot more research on the pro street headlights. (Not sure if im allowed to post a link, direct picture link is below) A few people who have them installed said they love them, and their is no wire splicing involved other than the halos which are "easy." So unless someone can tell me otherwise I might save up the $300 to cash for the aftermarkets.

(posted twice)

 

Isn't the procivic one is the dual halo one with 3 LED next to the high beam? If so, don't get it. It's more a downgrade than an upgrade, trust me, I got the same design (but from a different seller and having different brand) before. The light is pointing outward, which make it very dark for your direct front, and you will need some cutting before you can put the H1 HID bulb in. Also, they charge you $300 just for the light, you will need another $100 for the HID kit. It's a junk.

 

The LED's are on the inside closest to the grill so yeah I guess those are the same ones. I'll have to take your word for it then. Do they make a good aftermarket kit like that?

 

I agree don't get those. If you can fork out the extra cash for labour do it because your have a cleaner nicer look. I attached a picture of mine which pretty much has an OEM look.

 

buy my s2k projectors! jk

 

If you have somebody do them for you, expect to pay a boatload. That set up looks really god, and DIY I would guess around 300-500 for everything, pay someone and you're looking at about 1k+

 

Go with TSX projector

 

I bought a pair last week just like the ones you put up a link to... ill let you know how they work out. I bought them and h1 bulbs for my universal pnp HID kit for less than 200 shipped.

 

yeah Im liking how the tsx look in CBRs setup, but if the rx330 are cheaper I might go with those. I talked to a buddy of mine and he just retrofitted his own BMW lamps. I might ask him to do a set for me since itd cut my labor cost to practically nothing.

Since Im new to the retrofit thing what are the bare essentials of what I would need?

 

u need projectors, headlights, bulbs and ballasts.. almost forgot u need shrouds too.. i really recommend a relay harness but u dont really need it..

 

RX330 with clear lens are pretty awesome for the price. I would say good as TSX, but close to half the price. If you take time to source parts, I say you can get everything for around 200-240. I got my Denso ballasts, D2S bulbs and RX330 projects and clear lens swap for around 200. Came out of RX330 headlights I took apart. The only thing you need is shrouds which you could make or spend a little extra money on.

 

Im guessing that price doesnt include the headlights you started with? Im starting from nothing and will need to buy everything.

 

yeah rx330 could preform just as well as tsx's... i think they are just as wide and just as intense, output wise.. rx330 with tsx-r clear lenses would give u a color moded look already.. u could get ur stuff from theretrofitsource.com or hidplanet.com

 

the halogen headlights done have shrouds.. shrouds are used to cover the projector once its set in the headlight..
