I'm doing a TSX retrofit into my 00 ITR. I have the ballast/ignitor, bulbs, projectors, but the ballasts didn't come with the headlight harness connector. I went to my Acura dealer and they want to sell me a whole headlight harness, and I've searched the wreckers but none of them have the connector. I'm just curious if anyone might know where to get a connector. It's the same connector on the 02-03 TL and 04 an up TSX.

Here's a pic of the connector on the ballast; I'm looking for the headlight harness connector to plug into that.

 

check HIDplanet.com, you should be able to find exactly what you're looking for - probably even instructions on making your own

 

I've been trying to get on there, that URL has been down for a few days for some reason.

I believe all you need is a female connector. I forget the exact name of it but I got 2 at Pepboys for like $10. You'll love the tsx retrofit. I absolutely love mine.

No Pep Boys in Canada, eh. The online selection isn't extensive enough that I could order one from them.

I tried partsource, Carquest, Canadian Tire, dealership, and wreckers. No dice so far.

That retrofit looks HAWT! Can't wait to get mine done...

What's that all aboot? You guys have something similar to an Autozone or Napa?

 

Yesss, we do have Autozone and NAPA, I will try them next.

DC2R714 - does your retrofit simply connect to the balast off the stock harness, or did customlightz make you a new harness for the HIDs?

 

I had them make me a harness, but I added the plugs so that it was plug n play. I am using E46 ballasts though so they might be different than the OEM TSX I am not sure.

 

what did the guys at customlightz say? or if they are that cheap at pep boys then hop the border or get a friendly neighbour to the south to ship you them for some beer or something.

you just need some female connectors. I am using the same ballast as you
