JDM one piece projector retrofit

I’ve finally gotten all the stuff together for a retrofit. I figured I might as well snap a few pictures and show my progress. The part I’m a litte worried about is sanding down the flutes in the lens and I want a good cut off so they have to go.

Here it begins.

After some slight prying w/ an assortment of screwdrivers. I would definetly recommend anyone trying this to attempt to use the screwdrivers as little as possible. Once the plastic is hot it easily gets distorted when prying. I did most of the seperating with my hands alone to prevent this.

And this is what is going into the headlight.

I haven’t decided on any shrouds just yet so for now this is all.

Parts used:

JDM one piece headlights
TSX clear lens projectors

Any comments and/or advice would be appreciated.

As long as the headlights are open, should I remove the glare gaurds on the foglights? I know a lot of people don’t like the “nipple” it makes but I’m not sure if it’ll cause too much discomfort for other cars coming my way.

hey tip. paint your glare guards black. it looks bad ass

I think you mean for me to paint the reflective part that normally spreads the halogen lighting out. Even though it will improve the lighting w/ the retrofit I don’t really like how it looks.

By removing the glare guard I meant this part.

edit : shoot should’ve read the whole post :giggle: I’d say remove the glare guard on the fog haha looks better.

Oh ok I see.
