You said you bought the TSX-R lenses. Just a question....how'd you know that those would fit over the FX/G35 ones that they have on their site.

So you can confirm that the TSX-R ones will fit into the G37 headlight?

No purple hue when seen at an angle? I thought the lens is what gave all Acura HIDs the purple hue...

Oh man, reminds me from back in the day when i retrofitted S2000 projectors in my 2000 Civic Headlights, I loved having that sharp cutoff, and that was like 4 years ago. Honda has always had a crazy good lens, ive been on bmw forums where they look for tsx/s2000 lenses also to put on their cars! I think its the best one there is!

oh man i was thinking about doing this a lil over a month ago. i just didnt know if our lens was 2.5" or 3", then forgot about the whole thing lol.

now that i know its a 2.5 im good to go.

just to make sure this is just a straight swap of the lens itself right? no modding is needed for this?

Very very nice. I always thought the pictures of peoples 6000k headlights looked rather 5000k to me.

I like the look of the upgrade but how is the projection and can you see further and better?

Ordered mine yesterday. Should be here sometime tomorrow. Debating on whether I'm going to have someone put them in for me or if I'm going to do it myself.

Neverbonestock - how long did it take you to install them, and what temp did you bake you headlights in?
