I would love to do this, but don't have the ***** to do it... It seems like you have prior experience doing retrofits. How much experience exactly? How long did th is retrofit take?
Would cutting out the fake fog, and installing a real fog be difficult?

Other than that, the only other experience I've had was switching from a fresnel lens to a clear lens on my 350z. It was already bi-xenon and had a decent projector so I didn't mess with the projector. Just put the headlight in my oven and wait lol.
As far as cutting the fog to put a real fog, yeah I think that will be difficult. The fake fog is just a fake lens mounted on that chrome housing. On the black back housing its completely empty and sealed. There are no brackets for you to use or even a hole for that matter. You'd have to cut your own hole, and mount it to the housing, etc etc...

I wasn't interested in using the bi-xenon function on the TL projectors. I heard TL projectors have an awkward shape and has the bi xenon solenoid on the bottom. I wanted to insure a good fitment with a lot of room for flexibility (aiming and position the projector) so I went with the smaller TSX.
Yes, the ballast, bulb, relay and lens was from TheRetrofitSource.com

looks like a job well done. Are the base and hid equipped headlight housings the same just with different projectors (one halogen and one hid)? I was considering picking up a set of base headlights to work with on a retrofit so that I don't have to tear apart my only set and take my time. I just wanted to make sure that the housings appeared the same from the outside.

Looks awesome man. I bought 35w Morimoto's for my '05 TSX and the visibility is so low. Now i'm thinking I should upgrade to the 50w because yours are super-bright!
