As far as I know, this should be very close to what TSX looks like stock.

deltatechx · 05-21-2008, 03:48 AM

pnp HID > retro 'cause you can actually see shit out past the cutoff :P Hope there's never a deer standing in the middle of the road, you won't see it till it's too late. Yes, the cut off is far down the road, but the light isn't more than a foot off the ground so all that would be illuminated would be 4 skinny ass legs from the knees down. Of course you could always aim your lights up, but then what's the point of the retro?

And of course I'm a total hypocrite, the second I get the money together I'm getting an S2K retro :P

I can testify that a bixenon retrofit saved my car from certain doom in that same scenario you just described.

yes but it doesn't blind other drivers, if you are on a dark road with nobody there, flick on your high beams
