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

NeverBoneStock, is there anyway you can post pictures of your headlights shining at a wall 25 ft away? I'm interested in the cutoff line. Thanks.

wow surprised so many people are into this. I originally swapped these in when i first baked my lights to take out the amber. but so many people said that was too hard i thought no one would do this. I personally didnt like the TSX ones at all. i had a pair left over from my AP1 S2000 so i ended up swapping out to those. like those a lot mroe

I dont think the cutoff would have changed just from a lens swap, you would have to modify the shield to get more color. But I am interested to see a pic as well.

What are the main differences between the TSX and S2K lens? Are the lines sharper? No further modifications were necessary I assume, since both lenses are 2.5".

Very nice. I purchased some STi clear lens for my 350Z over a year ago too, but have never installed them lol. Too afraid to open up my headlights.

Nice. Seems like a good reason to open up the lights again.
