I was toiling over those projectors but ultimately decided on fx-r's for the bixenon. Did they fit well? that was another concern of mine.

they look great I'd love to see some more night shots!

Just put these in today.
Ebay; fitment is tight, and and I have yet to align them, but they have a nice cutoff and make my car look angry
Got any more pics? Different angles, with and without the halos on, leds, day and night perhaps?

yeah, got the clips in, by forcing it with rage and muscle. but i broke one the drivers side clips off
and, yes, the weather stripping on the sides pulled off
i was rather pissed at that, like I said, fitment sucks. I am going to try my stock brackets and see if that helps any.

The 98+ camaro guys have it easy on the projectors. I have a 98 Formula and two 93-97 camaros. There's not a whole lot of options there.

Where can you buy replacement weather stripping? Mine has ripped off completely, and my CCFL halos went dead after a year anyway to replace those?

Which also just came out and cost considerably more than the Camaro options. I'm in on the next GP for them so I can't complain, but that's about it on the options for drop in setups.

All the ricer halos and led's don't look good at all. Just my opinion. Retrofit is where it's at. Plus the projectors are way better. But a lot more money too.

so, these are bad iphone pics.
I wanted the HID fog lights to be whiter, quite disappointed in how blue they were.
considering getting HIDS for the projectors, vision is fine, just prefer a whiter light.

4300k is pure white, 5000k is still pretty darn white. what do you have in your fogs?

When you get HIDs in those projectors, please get some nice cutoff pics and stuff like that

The TSX projectors fit like a tight condom on a huge dick. No but really, they fit very easily and well. I will never look back on this mod. Only wish I'd done a nice halogen hi-beam projector, but don't care that much about it.

After i get everything worked out with mine and finish up the bracketry im going to start doing them for people on here, so everyone that wants REAL projector headlights(im sorry if this offend's anyone but, i cannot stand any single one of the aftermarket one's for camaro's, they just look like they should be on a civic) get ready! They willl be made with Lexus RX350 AFS Projector's(IE awesome cut off line and great broad color spectrum, one of the most used retrofitted projectors available)
I would definately be interested to see how they look and how much you are going to charge

I asked for 5000k, but I have no idea what they gave me.
Dont know if I'm going to do hids any time soon on the projectors. Night vision is already improved with projectors and the HID fogs. I do want matching light colors for the headlights and fogs though, but will probably wait until next year.

Finally finished them




I didn't break any tabs, but was able to get both clipped it. much easier now that its warm out. No alignment/cut off shots BECAUSE ONE OF MY DDM HIDs HAS BURNT OUT AFTER 3 USES!!!! The weather strip sucks and peels off if you look at it wrong, i went cheap and used 3m/scotch "permanent" (ya right ) double sided tape to adhere it back on. Driver side fits perfectly (not aligned yet) right now, and passenger side is sitting deeper in with similar adjustments..may need to space it forward, no big deal.

^^those look cool, although you should unplug either the halos or the leds because with both on it just looks overdone.... I would probably go with the led strip...

I kinda like those more than I thought I would. Interested to see how well they actually work if the bulbs arent burnt out.
