+1 for Lightwerkz. If you have the money its really worth it. These pics really dont do any justice.

No doubt Lightwerkz is worth the $, but I like to try things myself and I can't afford to be without headlights for 2 days. I just need to suck it up and go for it.

What kind of paint did you guys use? My car is OBP so I was thinking gloss black with a red accent.

None at all. Perfect seal.

Caesar even does the wiring harness so that your brights and lows run when you switch on your brights.


Remember to get these running lights(WLED-WHP LED Wedge Base Bulbs):

http://www.superbrightleds.com/mini-wedge.html

This makes the driving light match the headlight.

Also ask Caesar for the chrome blinker bulbs (if you want no amber at all in the headlight)

For those that want to paint yourself.

Make sure you seal them well!!

Bake the paint a little while it is drying in the oven @ 200.


While you have the lights opened up(those that have 06/07 models), you can always just change your lens to a clear lens from a TSX or an S2000. It will make your output much more crisp.

You can get them off e-bay pretty cheap, and they should mate up well to the stock back portion of the projector.

The output will be good enough to run HID bulbs, and those with STI's will get a better output than your OEM lens.
