I haven't heard or seen anyone just swap the lenses on cheap projector lights and use an HID kit. You can get clear lenses from retrofitsource for pretty cheap. If you try it out, take pics and let us know if there was a difference in your lighting.

There are several 2.5 Clear lenses that may work, other than the TSX lenses.

It's hard to predict the outcome without actually trying it.


Good luck

I'm not sure if you meant Lexus RX, but none of the RX series had clear lenses. They either came fresnelled, dimpled, or slightly frosted. I have three sets on hand is how I know.

The retrofit source sells 2.5 inch replica lenses which fit the Lexus RX, that's probably what they meant.

You could also try these other 2.5 inch lenses from: s2000, halogen 2k+ celica, z32 300zx, and and bmw e30.

Are these aftermarket halogen projector headlights? If they use H3 bulbs, they will almost certainly be crap no matter what lens is on it.
