You shouldn't be splicing any wires or anything for this mod so you shouldn't run into any wiring problems...

Yea.....but I would recommend upgrading your lenses to TSX clear lenses while they are open. You will get a much better light cut-off.

You could also get some chrome blinker bulbs and LED parking lights to complete the removal of amber.

that looks nice.

you wouldn't have to do anything wiring, just plugs.

TSX projectors are great but cost a lot of money haha but the chrome orange light bulb is definitely a plus, looks stealth but still lights up yellow. much better than amber bulbs.

That actually isn't a bad idea at all. We did that on clubrsx a few years ago and it was pretty fun.
