The light color outside the car is beautiful, and next to my car stock there is NO way the G37 is as good or better, in my opinion it is very poor in comparison. The STi lights are also better than the G, I've driven one. BMW again are also better. I wouldn't let the tech pull your leg too far, I think he sounds a bit biased.

The stock TSX has 4300 bulbs, just like the G. The FX also has 4300, which a lot of people use for bi-xenon conversions.

Summary is that you can put the 6000K bulbs in to give it a bit better of an external appearance and add to driving light, but it's going to take changing lenses or even the projector housing to actually bring yourself up to the Acura, BMW, etc. look.
x2. Most if not all factory HIDs are 4300K...difference is the housing configuration/lens. My old TSX had amazing lights...wouldn't even consider changing them. My personal favs are the S2K and S4 HIDs. Unfortunately, the G37 housing makes the HIDs seem a lot more yellowish.

Agreed! and from my experience the loss of visibility isn't noticable.

The kits are available on EliteEv's site... We will need the H1 conversion kit. When I was looking at the back, I think some minor modification may be required to get the wires to fit through and install a conversion kit, but it shouldn't be hard.

I hope to have my kit soon so that I can install and get a review up.

Is the H1 kit included with the Fog Light Kit? Modifications as in cutting some of our housings?

The kits are essentially "plug and play" in many cases. The kit would include the H1 bulbs, the "plug and play wires" and the necessary ballasts. Since I don't have the kit, I'm not sure if a modification is required but others are reporting that it may be necessary to get the wires into socket since the current wire appears to be built into the grommet that seals the hole. If it is necessary, I'd say it will be minimal, but you wouldn't have to modify the housing... It would be more on the back of the headlight on the grommet that seals it.

Once I get the kit, I can confirm and post a DIY.

Thanks everyone for the feedback on the review... Just trying to help.

Although a DIY has been posted, I took a few pics during my install so I'll have a few additional pics in a separate thread up as well.
