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

Thank you for being the first to take on this project. I just ordered a pair of s2000 AP1 len on ebay and will post up comparison pictures for anyone out there who is debating whether to get the s2000/tsx for our headlights

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.
