Completed Retro-Solutions Head & Fogs

OK - I've been feeling "the love" about not posting the night shots of the Projector HID Headlights (with blue AngelEyes around the high beams) and the Projector HID Foglights Todd at Retro-Solutions built for me.

Damn John, those put my aftermarket ones to shame. As soon as I get the cash I'm going to have Todd do some for me. Both the look and output of yours are awesome. Do you remember which projectors he used for yours?

Forgot to post this picture. This is the headlight / fog light as shot from the rear of the RSX. It shows the cutoff on the right side.

Note: The small circle shows a warning sign that's 1/4 of a mile down the road from where the RSX is - and, as you can see, I'm lighting it up:

Stanley made TSX projectorsfor the headlights with 6000K 50 Watt Digital HID kit.

Blazer 894 for the fogs with 5000K 35 Digital HID bulbs (I reused my original fog light Ballasts from last fall).

I could not be happier - with the lights - and the craftsmanship!

I think I've been flashed only twice and both types I was cresting a hill and the opposing car was coming down the hill.

High beams are standard Acura fixtures (with the blue CCFL Angel Eyes and blue LED "City Lights" replacing the standard white "city lights") with PIAA Ultra-white bulbs, although I never use them.

A BIG AW to Todd!

They look like the rest of the car. When the spring detailing gets done, so will more pix. As for sending them to you, well Baaaahaaaaaaa -Don't hold your breath!
