bringing this from the dead....
When installing the TSX or the FX-R, cutting the housing is involved?

* TSX requires NO cutting of the housing. You can a section of the projector to make it fit.

* FX-R 1.1's are what I've been using. They've been superseded by FX-R 3.0 which have different mounting hole locations. Havnt had the chance to use the new version in CT9A HLs. FX-R 1.1's require major trimming of the turn signal housing. Not advisable for the faint hearted..

Stick with TSX's

Wheres a good place to purchase them? I've used TRS in the past and they have great service and prices but when I looked on the website all they really have is the
fx-r 3.0 and rx-afs....

^^ speak to Matt at TRS and asked if they have any LHD FX-R 1.1's instock..

As I said, it's going to require a lot of work to make them fit... Other requirements to make them fit:
* custom brackets that take into account the mounting holes of the OEM projector + the mounting holes of the FX-R
* the FX-R sits a fairway forward than the OEM unit.. This will clash with the OEM shroud that covers the projector. You'll need to Dremel it out and fit a shroud that has more "depth"... I've used an E46-R shrouds in my retro's..

^^ don't say I didn't warn you...

Just go TSX's!! Much much easier

So, I spoke with Andrew at TRS and he feels like the RX-AFS is the better choice if comparing the TSX. I guess they have the similar specs....Not too sure what to do right now.

No LHD FX-R....

Lightwerkz does good work, so do HIDillusionz, Lightmodz and BlackFlameCustoms

And no, I don't know why they all use the stupid Z at the end

Lightwerkz also just did an Evo retrofit: http://www.hidplanet.com/forums/show...l=1#post598925
