FS: 05 xenon projectors

SOLD********


Not the entire headlight, just the projectors. Good for a NAMer up to the task of retrofitting. Its not too hard, and worth the effort. I also have some extra housings if you need them to practice w/ but they are not in great condition. If you need help, I could walk you through the process. I took these out of 05 xenon headlights, and put in TSX projectors for better output.

They have a clear lens w/ a line down the middle of the lenses. I've bent the shields slightly to get max sharpness and just a touch of color.

Lenses and bowls are perfect. Comes w/ bulb holders. TONS of pics here. All the output shots are after color mod, which the camera doesn't really pic up much. The last pic, you can see the color mod because I used a different camera.

$100 + actual shipping is what I paid, and I only used them for a week.


























TSX vs Cooper comparison (glare in pic makes Cooper look brighter than it actually is BTW)


Right color mod, left none. (shot w/ different camera, so color looks different)

Hmmm, would LOVE to have more color. I'm not too impressed with the cutoff though. Wish it was sharper. My wife has a TSX and the HID is just incredible. Do you have pics of your setup??

Best of luck with the sale.

I'll have pics of my TSX in a few more days. The JB Weld is still drying... and yeah, the TSX are just incredible, especially going from the reflector xenons.

After modding the cooper projectors, I was pretty happy with the color and sharpness. They just weren't as bright as TSX in the end.

BTW, to mod your projectors, just remove the bulb, and pull the shield towards you. Just do it a little (1mm) at a time, and if you pull too much, just push it back. Its completely reversible.

Here's a link to my little project.
