2002 Acura RL w/ LS430 projectors
 

I just thought I share my lastest retro with the RL community here. Here are some pics:

here is a short and brief DIY on how I mounted the projectors; there are alot of steps that i skipped so if there's any questions, feel free to ask me:

Mounted but not aligned

Noticed the red circles; that's where I used 2 bolts to mount the projector

I marked the top of the reflector as the center and where the projector should be pointed; still not yet aligned

The rear of the projector and its markings to align the projector so it would be level and pointed in the right direction

Test fitting the shroud; not yet trimmed

Spacing the lens and testing it out in the basement

Mounted, aligned, and cleaned

now thats awesome!!

how much did this cost you

WOW, i still don't have time to do retrofit in my headlights... but when i see effects i know it is worth any labour!

parts wise, it costed me about $375. labor wise, costed me a weekend. injury wise, developed a cold from staying in the garage too long in this freezing mid-west weather. :thumbsup:

that's awesome

very nice!

Wow, that looks like a lot of work. Did you heat the lamps to separate the glass from black plastic backiing?

Those look really good.

very cool man, looks good

wow, very impressive.:thumbsup: The width of LS430 projectors is insane. You use TSX clear replica lenses, spacer right? I just check out your thread in hidplanet.com. Great craftsmanship, I am speechless.

amazing, looks OEM!

that came out really nice!! its good to see someone willing to do a custom mod around here. its not always about what you can order and bolt on, some people forget that.

yes, i had to heat the headlight inside my oven to take it apart.

yes, i used the TSX replica clear lenses from the retrofitsource and a spacer. the width is amazing with these. i can light up 5 lanes of freeway easily.

damn.. nice work. everytime i see projectors i think they would look better in the Highbeam section.:confused:
