About black housing headlight

That actually helps alot, thanks. I think I'm going to make a separate thread where I'll document everything that I'm going to do to the headlights (blacking out the housing, angel eyes, clear lenses)

Also, do I need to buy spacers if I use the TSX-R lenses?

You will need spacers so you could buy them and save some time
Or you can make them yourself out of a cereal box (or anytype of thin cardboard)

1. Trace out the lense on the cardboard and cut it out
2.place the cardboard in the projector and trace the inside from the back and cut out

I have found with the TSX 2 cardbord spacers and cutting the one shield looks perfect
but always test fire them befor you seal up your lights
 
I have been wondering if the spacer made out of cardboard from cereal box safe enough since the lens will heat up quite a bit in there. I have been making them from some thicker aluminum, but there are time I have found it not thick enough and have to stack quite a few to get to the focal point I wanted.

Retrofit source spacers are cardboard
 
Oops, I meant to say thicker aluminum foil in my original post. Yeah, I can't imagine making them out aluminum. :smile (2):

Nothing on the lens itself. But once you get the lens off, you can see the cutoff shields in the projector. There is a round part and a curved part. Then there is a v shaped part in front, cut the v off.

What does that V piece do? If left alone, how is the cutoff affected by this?
