Agreed. TSX are decent for the price.

I'd run FXRs though if I were retrofitting.

Unfortunately there will be no true "plug and play" kit option that will yield great results. You will have to open the headlights and swap in true HID projectors or find a way to modify the halogen projectors to eliminate excessive glare.

i will be swapping out the projectors when i bake the headlights to paint the housing... probably go with the fx-r

The FX-R is pretty nice, actually, very nice especially for the price. But I fell in love with the RX350 bi-xenons. I was in the process of retrofitting them into my current car but I put that project on hold.

The FX-Rs are really nice, one of my favorite bi-xenons out there. My favorite single beam is the AP1 S2K projector, you can't beat their output they are just a little expensive and hard to find sometimes.

i don't need bi-xenons for the fr-s, since it's got a dedicated high beam, but i also don't want to spend more and get the [used] s2k units...
