Mechanic bench seat goals 🤣
I know this is an older video, but I just bought a set of these and tried to install them. The power box that bolts to the bottom did not line up with the bolt holes. The box said its for a 2004-2008 TSX. The instructions show the mounts looking identical to the OEM lights. Maybe they shipped me a different year model.
You might have to do some trimming on the plastic because i had no issue with one side that had a oem ballast (powerbox) it bolted right up but i had a aftermarket one that dint bolt up but 2 of the 3 lined up so i put 2 on that side
@@oscar_cu2 the guy I bought them from said my TSX was made in Japan and these lights are made for TSX made in the USA. I had to send them back.
@@decapolis01 if your car is rhd i agree, if its not then that was cap its just the ballast
@@oscar_cu2 Looking back I think it would have fit if I had bought a set of the American version ballasts.
@@decapolis01 basically whatbi was trying to get at
I don't know which headlights to get. These or the euro r. Or just save my OEM headlights and sand them and reclear them.
Hope you go to the Springfest meet at Pacific raceways this weekend.
I been lagging to post videos up. I have unfinished videos and work done without filming lol.
Plus, your videos are great for installation instructions.
Thanks man I appreciate the support and im going to be out of town for work for the event sadly so I wont be able to make it, plus I still am waiting on wheels and a few body kit peices, so my car is nowhere close to done lol Im also thinking of redoing the paint in the summer same color because I love the blue,but it definatley needs some love the paint has chips and scratches all over lol
Could you please show us how you soldered the wires. It doesn’t make any sense in my head.
If you know how to solder you T the wires and put paste, and then put the rod on top, and heatshrink goes over it, i cant show it that car is gone but its pretty simple
@@oscar_cu2 I have all the tools I am going to try to wire the same headlights I hope it goes well. I will try to figure it out but I have an idea.
@@oscar_cu2 what paste did you put? All I was going to do was solder the wires together and put some waterproof electrical tape on it.
@@DR-UTAH its soldering paste , it should come with your solder kit if not you can get it online, you just rub it on and makes the solder so much easier and stronger, but yes grease and heatshrink is a must
I’m definitely trying to buy these.....any issues with leaking or condensation?
I did not take my chances i have yet to find perfect aftermarket headlights, i suggest clear silicone around the entire headlight before installing something i forgot to show/ mention in the video
Hey I just got these and asked my Mechanic to install, they had told me that they can’t install them due to the fact that the aftermarket’s don’t have a self adjusting bulb motor compared to oem having that motor and if I was to install them lights on the dash would come up and it would mess up my car electrically? Can you confirm or help me on what I should do..
That is cap they just dont want to do it, if they convinced you the oems have a self adjusting motor theyre crazy i installed these on a 08 and a 04 no issues
homie how did u plug in the ballast? im lost if u need to splice it
Please do a night time video
Its at the end of the video a night time walk around
How's the quality of that projector lens? Can you swap in the OEM TSX lens, which happens to be one of the more sought after in the retrofit community? Would be tough to compete with OEM quality..
To me the lenses are good, I dont see the big difference between the stock projector lenses and these, I do not retrofit so i couldnt tell you if it would be difficult or easy to get the oem projector on there, but the brightness of the lights are the same, the projector makes it not blinding, but still really bright, just as bright as oem, im not sure what a better or worse projector would be if theyre equally as bright
Does Anyone know where the igniter has a little like ground connector where does that connector even go ? Or is it just loose
The igniter is what connector from the ballast to the bulb
Hola, tengo un acura tsx 2007 y las luces no alumbran bien , no se mira bien en las noches porque no proyecta la luz y e preguntado en lugares donde venden luces y me an dicho que esos carros en esos años tienen el problema de los proyectores que no reflejan bien la luz, mi pregunta es , si esos headlight que instalaste alusan bien y as tenido buena luz con ellos. Gracias
Gonzalo Ontiveros vale la pena el cambio alumbran mejor y se ven muy diferentes y elegantes
How does the cutoff lines compare to the stock ones?
Any update on the headlights? How are they holding up, any issues?
None so far because i siliconed them no water and i also added silicagel packs oem standard, for moisture and other do get water in them mine have not
good job
soso nice!! how much mileage did she have when you bought her?
It pretty much had 10k less than the odometer(240k), but rebuilt engine amd trans gives it about 30k according to the receipts lol
@@oscar_cu2 oh wow, you've poured a lot of money and love into it huh?
@@jupo. well i didnt ive only put about a grand, the previous owner put a lot of money into it lol
i have the same headlight been replace ballasts like crazy keep getting water in them
Any aftermarket headlights i buy I seal I should have mentioned that somewhere, they just dont seal them like they do in the oem factories, so I use a weather proof clear silicone, with a caulking gun another fix is to seal the ballast with the same caulk because ballasts are expensive
what year is your tsx and do the daytime running lights work w these headlights?
05 and yes
They would work on any car lol drl just needs power and ground.
I have same car and color if it’s an o4
What did you do for them not to fog up mine only lasted like 4 weeks and they started fogging up. It rains very bad and they fogged up. I put silicone around the headlights but I don’t think that did anything.
I resealed them with silicone and used dessicant packs inside the headlights non oem things will always fog up
Did you have any trouble installing the ballast. And did you use the existing ballast or a new one?
Existing ballast
Will these fit an 04 TSX?
Although these would be pointless since the 04 doesn't have daytime running lights?
yes they do work i have them on mine, just a little wiring and splicing u gotta do nd she should be good💯🤞
My cars dont have drl i made them work that way by splicing them to the little light they still look amazing
@@harleysdead5047 hello, what kind of splicing would I have to do? I just got a pair for a steal.
Did your HID boxes bolt up nice to the new head lights or did you have to rig it up? I had to return some because the bolt pattern was way off for the hid box.
Nope they ligned right up and had no issues with the hid box
Hey man I know this a very late comment but I just finished installing the driver side one but I can’t seem to get the high beams to turn on know the problem?
They should turn on right away by pluging in if not swap your other high beams to these or your fuse blew
My headlight connector doesn’t fully fit one of the headlights
The ballast? Or a plug? They should all fit if installed correctly but if the ballast isnt oem that could play a part in why it doesnt fit
I just had these headlights installed about a week ago. They look great but one con I have I at night, the headlight seems like it is aimed really low. It’s like all that is lit up is the ground, I wish the light was aimed up more. When I’m driving I have to use high beams sometimes in places I’ve never had to before with the oem headlights because it’s too dark. Any tips on how to fix this?
Hey yea i have the same issue. At night, I cannot really see that far in front of me which makes it dangerous for me to drive. Were you able to fix the problem by buying new bulbs?
The headlight has adjusters that you can aim the light up more if needed
@@oscar_cu2 Thank bro for the info!
@@oscar_cu2 do you know how to do so?? I have the same problem lmao
@@andressandate There are tons of videos on the Tube that describe how to aim projector headlights, it's pretty much the same for all of them. I did it on my TSX a few years ago, easy peasy.
Did yours end up with water inside of them????
No, i should have mentioned I sealed mine with clear weather proof adheasive, because I have trust issues with after market headlights no matter how nice they are they will get water in them so i didnt take my chances and sealed them
@@oscar_cu2 what sealant did u buy/use
@@marlinwoodruff2292 i used clear silicone, its just a sealant for anything but you can get it in your auroparts ask them whats good to seal headlights
You got any idea if the headlights will fit a European Accord 7 2003?
They should
Can you make the check mark, rgb? Is that even possible?
Yes very much so ive seen them done on a camry you just have to open it up and replace some of the leds or add an rgb layer of leds next to the existing leds
Are these the black ones or smoked black
These are clear lense black housing
@@oscar_cu2 thank you
buenas tardes disculpa yo soy de mexicali, & quiero esas micas pero es confiable pedirlas por esa pagina que pusiste & como puedo hacer que me lleguen?
Si el ali express si ws confiable todo lo que ordeno llega con tiempo pero te dan el estimado, es igual que el eBay
Why didnt you show the balast part
It was a pain running the wire and i didnt have a tripod to record at the time but with a coat hanger or a thick wire you can get it in there
@@oscar_cu2 i dont get it tho, i ordered the same thing you did and its all different inside
@@yarittromero5156 different in what ways? Are you saying youre unable to put the balast on?
@@oscar_cu2 exactly
Did you mod where the hid ballast mounts up? Mine dont line up right.
Nope mine lined up good i didnt have to do any mods, i just had to flip it a certain way till it worked but realized i should have just looked at the stock one lol
It might be a year thing, mine dont line up right and im waiting to try out a mitsubishi ballast that an amazon comment suggested
@@jakepalmer1747 how that work out not sure if i should get them
Question. Would this headlights fit an Acura 06 TL?
Nope tsx and TL are different cars, the headlights look similar, I have both cars, they do not transfer over or fit
what are you? 4 years old lol
No their different headlights
Are the projectors any good? I’ve heard that these are worse than OEM.
Me personally i dont have an issue with the projectors, theyre just as bright as oem if not brighter, idk what they mean by worse
NW_ innovations okay, thank you and by “worse” I was referring to the light output not being the same as oem, but I was just wondering because I’ve been wanting to get these and wanted to know.
@@DavidHernandez-st4pf to me theres not a huge difference from oem maybe worse quality projector, if that, but i think its pretty good, i like them I think theyre worth the money forsure
Should of went with the Depo clear blue’s bro those the ones I got and look better tbh, these remind me of the Lexus so it’s not that unique
Didnt like the euro headlights, and no they dont look as unique, but i think the daytime running light is definatley good looking, I go for the modern look always so it just looks like a newer car and not a 15 year old acura so the car looks and feels like a 2020 car
NW_ innovations I see your point, nice
What is this depo clear blue are you guys referring to? Any link?
Sai Droid rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F302835900049 i wish I could post a pic of how mine look bro but I’ll upload a video of my TSX this weeknd for sure
@@saidroid3220 they’re just the Euro version with clear/blue tint side markers instead of the ambers
should of got blue corner euro R reps
I wanted a more modern look cl7 euro R is over played
What cable did you solder?
Little orange light
Thanks!
Акура тот же 7й аккорд тайп s
What year is this tsx?
2005
Are the headlights not plug and play?? I almost bought the bundle but now that I see I have to solder wires... no fucking thanks :/
They are but if you want the leds to work you have to splice it is not that hard
Wow
Bro lol
Changes the whole car!! Lol
