Default Update on Denji housings w/ TSX projectors swapped w/ TSX-R Lens

Here is what I have done: Denji Housing with TSX Projectors-TSX-R Lens swap, OEM Phillips 4,300K bulbs with aftermarket ballasts:

Before the TSX swap:


After the swap w/ TSX-R Lens:




I could see "SOOO" much more better now vs the stock or upgraded halgen bulbs.

^^I def love the cutoff compared to the OEM TSX Lens. The TSX-R lens def makes it more sharper and crisp for the cutoff. I also did the washer mod and added 2 washers on each nipple of the projectors to get the "rainbow efect", pics can't tell you but, it is there if I had a much better camera.

No worries. No, not the TSX headlight lens, the "projector lens". Has nothing to do with the lens of the headlights. I retrofitted the projectors into my Denji headlights as you can see in the above pics with the car and replaced the OEM(fresnals) projector lens with TSX-R(clear) lens

Where do you source some nicer lenses for TSX projectors? I have a 2008 and I know they changed them a little. Wouldn't mind taking them apart and modding them.

You have to find out if the projectors have a 2.5" or 3" lens. Then choose one of the following. They all have slight variations, so of course you want to pick the one that works best with your projectors.

You can try searching the hidplanet.com forums. Someone may have already done this swap.

Awesome, thanks! I am sad that people complained and they had to change the clarity and sharpness of their lenses. When I have time I think this would be a fun mod.
