Hey guys,

I have been wanting to do a TSX retrofit for a while and was hoping there was someone around locally that could do it. Also if there was someone that knew how to do the red trim around it. Here is a picture:



Thanks

wait wait wait, those are BMW lenses? I thought those were TSX projectors...and how did they get the red?

noooo those are tsx lenses... but i think the bimmer ones are nicer. made from the ashes of gypsies and homos and polished by the tiny hands of russian children.

i digress. the bimmer lenses fit the LFT without any significant retrofit. guys on legacygt spend about 400 on philips balasts / bulbs, and OE bimmer lenses. it clears our outer light cover, not sure on those lights tho

LOL, bimmer are probably better quality in the long run. Well does anyone else know how this is done with the red trim? and if anyone local can do it??

The red trim is just paint. There's a ****load of work in those Lightwerks retrofits, Caesar does killer work and is well worth the money and time. You end up with a proven solution instead of someone who "can probably do it fine" and half-assed/misaligned lights..

Yeah i just got done talking to the guy that actually owns the car i have pictured and he had Caesar do those lamps. So i sent Caesar a email and am awaiting a email back. I think its probably going to run about 750. Does anyone in the sacto area have work done by Caesar that i could posibly check out\?

Not locally that I know of, but at least one of the Fairfield guys, Adam, had an S2k conversion done, mag blue housings, a few other bits, and it came out looking pretty factory.

to me the projector lights make it look like the car is crosseyed or something

Good to hear, everyone i have talked to so far have told me the work is great and they have had no problems thus far.

i can kinda see where you are coming from, maybe no cross eyed but the smaller lights on the outside look a bit off but i like the brightness of the projectors

Ya it looks less balanced or something... dunno something just looks a lil off with them

So new question:

The HIDs we have in our cars. To make them brighter is it just a simple bulb replacement? What output is our lights, 5500K? What output bulbs can it support?

Thanks

What kind of headlights do you have? The 2003 WRX headlights weren't HID, IIRC.

I have tried to change that for over a year now and for some reason it wont change. I have a 05 STI so i have HIDs.

IIRC changing the kelvin scale isn't going to make the bulb brighter it will just change the color with our set ups...

Why are you trying to get it brighter though? you have high beams, and if that isn't enough through some bright *** fogs on that. They headlights are meant to shoot a straight beam, that isn't going to blind anyone infront of your car
