Hello everyone, I've always been lurking on here but never posted before but now I need some help. I've finally decided to commit to doing a projector retrofit for my evo x since its depressing to turn on my dinky halogen lights.

I am going to purchase a set of headlights, TSX projectors, HID kit, and some other stuff. My main question is about the shrouds and fitting. I consider myself pretty good with a dremel so I think I can custom fit anything but I want to get some second opinons on what to do.

If I decide to go ahead and get a pair of the E46 shrouds, I am curious on how they will fit and look in the housing because I don't think they are full circle and I don't really want the projector to be exposed. Will these also fit with the tsx projectors? I think e46 shrouds are 3" and the tsx projectors are 2.5 (lemme know if im wrong). Someone experienced please feel free to help

Thanks guys!

 

Personally,
SSS HL vs Non-SSS HL with E46 shrouds + TSX projectors = SSS HL wins asthetically. Looks so much better

However,
SSS HL vs Non-SSS HL with TSX projectors = Non-SSS / TSX light output.. TSX low beam is wider / more intense than SSS low beam

At the end of the, both projectors do a good enough job at lighting the road at night but you cant beat the look of a SSS HL...

There are 2 versions of the Replica E46 shroud:
* Normal &
* Extended (full circle)
If you look closely at some of the Lightwerkz HLs youll see both versions have been used..

Good luck

 

thanks for the reply, could you descripe what the SSS? Is that the stock projector headlights?

 

^^ Yep.... OEM MR HLs

 

Ok guys, little update on my status, I ordered an extra set of headlights and the projectors and I recieved the projectors today. However, they are not TSX projectors, they appear to be FX-R replica projectors and I was wondering on your guys imput on them. How do they compare to TSX? Does the fact that its a replica mean they won't be as good as oem FX-35 projectors? Also, they seem to be slightly bigger than TSX projectors and I was wondering if they would fit my headlights. I dont have my pair in yet so I'm going to the pro's here to see what you guys think. Heres a picture of them:

 

bump comn people someone has to know something!

 

im also looking into retrofits for my RA and i was told that as long as its not bigger than 3" you should be fine without much modification. 2.5" is ideal though, i beleive the FX is 3".
