Thanks. Do you mind being a little bit more specific and explain why he should not use the FX35 lenses. If your saying using the infiniti fx35 lens, no it was not used. If your saying because of the heat generated by the projectors, he put a metal plate on the housing floor to hold the temps. I noticed a square metal plate right in front of the lenses and asked him why it was there. I'm not sure if all projectors generate the same amount of heat.

You will need to PM paperboy. Let him know exactly what you want for a precise quote. More work = More $.

Went to Fast Intentions for a small 1 hour job. In the process, Tony discovered bad differential bushings. Time to replace. Not going back to OEM so I'm looking for Whitelines or SPL. The latter is much more expensive. I have to baby the car for a little bit until I can get is scheduled back at F.I. or Corner 3.

My car up on a lift. For some reason my driver side bracket needed to be re-welded. One hour job and I was out. I met Blake and saw his boosted Z and saw his dad's GTR. The red one below.

Tony's shop is clean, yes there were some boxes or parts laying around but it is clean. I like well run and well kept shops.

axmea? · 07-21-2014, 01:53 AM

More headlight shots. My son saw and loved how nice it looked. Got so many thumbs up on these lights since I got it done.

I need a better camera. Sorry guys.

So, for your headlights, you used four STi-R clear lenses? One for each projector and one for each signal light?

Trips · 07-21-2014, 02:08 AM

I might suggest to replace the amber looking parking lights to 6k leds

They came out great!

The two stock projectors were replaced. One set was STi R the other was either the TSX r or FX r. I compared between the STi and the OEM headlights. The stock projectors had rings that you can see when examined. The replacements were clearer and void of any imperfections. On my way home, i can tell how much better these projectors were. The lines were distinctive. The signal light was cut open and the projectors were put in it's place using epoxy.

Thanks G. Let me do some research on the 6k LEDs. It might have better temps too so I might just do that.

Clarification:

The headlight projector is the STi-R 3". I measured and it is a tad under 3. The top is either the 2.5" TSX-R or FX-R projectors. Paperboy retrofitted the base of the housing on the signal light projectors with an aluminum plate and then painted with high-temp paint.
