New Headlights

First off, a huge shout out to GoFightNguyen for the great DIY write up on angel eyes and TSX-r swap. These took me roughly 10 hours, mainly due to waiting on paint to dry. Enjoy!!

Nice job, looks like a clean install. I'm sure you like the clean cutoff w/ those new TSX lenses too

8K bulbs are pretty low lumens and pretty blue ... you will get much more function from a 5-6k bulb. Work looks good, not digging the blue but the cops might.

He's not hating, what 2008G-Man said is true.. its a known fact that 8k hid bulbs decrease the amount of output on headlights. You pretty much upgraded the cutoff only to decrease your output. I see it as a down grade, not an upgrade. Of course everyone has their own preference, if you want it to aesthetically look good in your eyes than it's all that matters anyways.

Rice. Now that would be hating . Good job on the work, taking apart headlights is nerve wrecking.
