Default ***** THE 92-95 civic retrofit thread

Ok im getting ready to do my tsx retrofit into eg headlight. I see damn 96-00 retrofits and examples all over the place but cant seem to find many 92-95 civic retrofit examples or writeups. I would assume the process is much the same as any other retro but thought it might help to have a thread dedicated to this headlight style.

So lets see them! I just ordered my gear today so ill be retro'in the the next few days, i saw one nice retro on here for this headlight but thats all ive seen... 1.

Where you all hiding!? My main question is how to make a good shroud for this headlight that keeps it clean-lookin.

just a thought, I remember reading that the stock glass on 5th gen headlights has the ridges/ lines or whatever you want to call them, and that distorts HID output.

IN for same issue.
tried to prove HT folks wrong about "retrofit FTW" bullshit. bulbs, PNP kits, custom kits, projectors, anything and everything that don't gotta do with retrofit, i've done it. hated it. not EVERYTHING on HT is bullshit/misinformation.

i wanted to do something similar to this setup.. with the TYC one pieces but im worried that you cannot adjust the projector causing it to be just all bad.
