///BHRpowered Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 shrouds aren't part of the projector, any clips holding the projector together would be good just search ebay for "tsx projectors" they'll be sold in a set almost always, Its rare to find imcomplete projectors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoN_BLaZe34 Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 ....okay dokie then.....I see your new to HID's what you want does not exist, sort of, if ebya or ricers tell you different there dirty chinks and have no idea what there talking about. The "color" you see twinkling in oem hid's, 4300k color temp that is is an optical illusion, the color extends as a fine line along the cutoff of the beam and as the suspension moves and the car travels over surfaces that cutoff line goes in and out of your direct line of sight, causing the color. SOME projectors, by which I mean hid retrofits can be modded in various ways to project a thicker band of color, but you cannot change the color so to speak. Some projectors, like the TSX ones people have used washers, regular out washers from home depot as spacers, moving the shield further away from the bowl of the projector. Unless you have a custom HID retrofit and projectors that work like this then therei s nothing you can do. Even 4300k bulbs in factory projectors won't benefit from this. What year is your car, and have you done any color mods? I'm one of the few people with a retrofit, by far the most custom, I know for a fact I'm the only person with bixenons in a 95-00, and only 1 other person with an 01-02 I know of (don) has them. My cutoff color has been generated first by the projectors used, combined with a gasket spacer mod, and a lense swap. Avoid google, useless search engine, its not called a washer mod, just shield or cutoff mod, color mod etc. explain to me how your retro is "by far the most custom" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 well don, I have the only set of bixenons beside yourself, but you had projectorsI took the reflector of another car, custom trimmed and mounted it, created a cable system to hold and aim the bixenon projector, then tweaked and trimmed, then after all of that was done my projector itself is modded in several ways. therefore its the most custom.

SteveSter Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 While on the topic BHR what could I do to a retrofit on my lights with a projector. I dont like the 95-96. I like the Especs but that would be impossible to find. What is a simple list of things I would need to put projectors in my lights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 You could do a full on retrofit, basically cutting a hole in the baxk of your projector and mounting the projector, a might more complex, but actually its considered a true retrofit since most cars didn't use to come with projectors Its been done on atleast a few millenia, none recently though. I'll have to really dig to see if I can find some pics, last one was 97millenia, and that was like 2003/4ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveSter Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Hmm I'd like to see how thats done, sounds ghetto rigged a bit, I think the hardest part would be aiming it just right. Isnt it easier to do what you did, gut the lights and get the insides of another light that fit there that already come with projectors?

///BHRpowered Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 not really, thats generally how all retrofits are done, a projector into a reflector I have seen it done, and you need to add a shroud, IMO it doesn't look very good on the millenia, not at all factory, but alot depends on the shroud I guess, I like mine much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

///BHRpowered Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 tsx's projector still have color steve - you are correct, my first retrofit used an S4 lense along with an ECE valeo projector that came with the housing, mounted ok, but it still takes some work, and a good bit of trimming through trial and error, the bixenon I had to mount the projector, trim it some, then basically just fab a way for the outer shroud/highbeam to be held onto the projector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will get pics when I find my fucking camera... 4300K H11 55W slim ballst kit installed. Nice purple line at the top of pure white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 you should not be using 55w projectors, they degrade cutoff and are 2 much for regular driving, make boost ballasts which can be controlled when needed. Matt - do you have a link to this kit? whats involved in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mts Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 are you talking about? They are 55W HID kit not projectors, the projectors are stock fog ones on the car. And they are not too much, the lights are incredible and light up the road in front exactly where they should. As the stock headlights on the Fusion are reflectors, I will not install HIDs, but rather am researching a proper retrofit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
