I made my own with an hid kit and I love it. I could use those without headlights and it would be perfectly fine.

Anything is possible, but you should have your projectors protected. I would want a rock hitting the lens on a set of tsx's. This is why I went with the projectors I used. They are small and handle an hid kit very well. I could stuff them inside the stock housings while retaining the stock adjustment screw.

Beginning of my fog retro

Theres no glare, output is awesome, and for a $15 projector how can you beat it? I will take some better pics in the next few days. Ive been too busy to take any output pics. The output pic in that link doesnt look like much, but my garage door is tan color, and you have to picture the stock headlights with silverstars in them and you will get an idea. The projectors I used are discontinued. Search "halogen projector" on ebay and a set might pop up every so often. They go for about $40 on ebay. The projectors were originally made for a c5 vette.

I feel like I've posted these shots a milion times already. Heres the ebay projector fogs with Rockblocker tinted film and 3000k HIDs.

I have the same as crystal and afraid to put the smoked tint on cause of the hids really melting the fog film.

They won't melt the film at all, I've had no issues with that in the past couple of months.

Somebody made a thread about buying these except they took off the halo. And he said the back was labeled upside down or something, but had no complaints about the quality of the product.

Yeah the projector is bolted inside the housing upside down. You need to unscrew the two phillips head screws on either side and turn the projector 180 degrees. That way the beam pattern is proper and the housing fits into the factory bolt holes on the bumper.

I also pushed them forward a bit by using some 1/4" washers (about 6 per bolt) so they didn't look so sunken into the bumper and came out a bit more. Whyconform did something similar to his also, but used a spacer instead of washers.
