Default projectors retrofit on 08 fa5

I need some help on deciding wich projector to use on my 08 fa5 , i can pick from s2k's ,tl's , or tsx i have them all i just dont have any real experience on projectors ' i always bought after market hid kit and fit them right up on the stock headlight , but I got tired of lighting up trees and houses bc of the glare that these hid cause
plus it would be nice if some tell me where to star on putting the projector on the headlight , how to hold it on or how to seal the headlight so u wont get any water leaks

thanks

personally id go with a bixenon setup. e46 3 series bixenons arent really all that expensive now. s2k's are by far one of the best xenons i have ever seen but theyre way too expensive for my taste. i would go with a e46 or TSX retrofit.

You use the Lo-beam portion of the headlight for bothyour low beams and High beams. The High beam portion will only be used for DRLs from now on

http://high-intensity.org/foru...nt=20

That's what I'm talking about. If you look on the last picture, you can see the High-beam function of Bi-xenons. SEXY! If you need anymore help, definitely feel free to ask me.

PMed you also!

Hi,
I need one AP1 S2000 projector right side if possible; if you got one at a good price or get one in the future let me know, my email is: mexusa@optonline.net
Thanks.

Now regarding what projectors to put in a Civic, The TL's will be extremelly hard to fit them and in case you really want to put them in you will have the hack the headlights on top, back and bottom; so the best you can get will be to use S2000 projectors or TSX and if you really want bi-xenon the hybrid TFX (tsx lenses on FX35/45 projectors) will fit.
