TSX-r lenses?

I'm pretty sure all headlights are the same. I've done a few cars and the steps are all same. The painting would be the same. The only difference would be the placement of the LEDS.

^^ Nope, if you've actually seen the TSX lenses then you'd know. Super sharp cutoff lines. ___/----- vs //========

I believe I used SMD 5050 LED's from superbrightleds.com
I ordered a ton of them a while back and was planning to install more in my headlights.. Decided to play it safe with only 10 around each projector.

They came with wiring. I just positioned the LEDs and ran the wiring behind the projector. It wasn't that hard, just took some time. I want to re open it and install more LED's and possibly paint the internal parts all gloss black.. Should look super duper

Sorry but I didn't take any pictures of that. I did however have to drill a small hole (half the size of a dime) in the back of the headlight... to run all the wiring from the inside of the headlight to outside of the headlight. I was going to use one of the existing holes for the one of the bulbs... but I thought it would just be easier to make a new hole. It's been over a month now and no water build up in the light, all of the LED's still work and no paint cracking or anything. Everything looks great. I'm hoping it'll stay that way...

More of a hyper white I suppose. My halogen light outside is messing with the actual color.
