My new retro FX35/TSX headlights! (56k beware)

leetcoder · 10-14-2007, 03:58 AM

Here are some of the photos and videos of my new FX35/TSX lens retrofit headlight. Bjorn (customlightz) made this for me. :P. The cutoff is blue in the picture with my shitty camera, it is actually purpleish blue in person.

I just installed my fog light as well.

ALSO FOR SALE: First HID TSX Retrofit nearCOMPLETE 56k Beware
Im selling my old pair of headlights which I retrofitted myself. It is retrofitted with a pair of TSX projectors. I was too lazy to fix the shroud extension and paint. Asking for $350 SHIPPED PM me.

ooh just notice I need to raise the right side up a little :P

VIDEOS:
Sorry too lazy to fix the video... might not work when clicking the link..
You probably need to right click and save first and open it with a browser or adobe flash player.

Yeah I did. Tap into the high beam. Pull the DRL #37 fuse to prevent strain to the solenoid during day driving. Now when i turn on high beam, it turns on both the halogen and the projector high beam, it look pretty nice i'll post the pic when I get the chance.

TIM, by the way did you install your headlights yet? I want to see yours.

***Tim*** · 10-14-2007, 01:13 PM

You had to pull the fuse?

leetcoder · 10-14-2007, 01:15 PM

Yeah pull the fuse, because during daytime there is a low voltage going to the solenoid because DRL is on. I talked to couple ee people, they say it wouldn't do any damage normally but sooner or later it can wear off the solenoid. I need to figure a way to build a circuit the break off anything below 12v from getting through, in the meantime im leaving the #37 DRL fuse off.

Did you install your projectors yet Tim?

***Tim*** · 10-14-2007, 01:20 PM

Haven't gotten them yet.

Couldn't you avoid having to pull the fuse with a diode?

No if you meant resistor, don't do that it will get very hot. Oh BTW the diode only restrict direction of current not lowering the voltage.

You've looked into this obviously?
