I wanted to share my project with the group.
I’m in the process of retrofitting my headlight with an Acura TSX HID projector. My plans are to run this projector with an aftermarket 55w ballast & bulb.

If you want to do this, I will try to explain it the best way that I can. This is my first retrofit ever, so please take it easy on me lol…
First step is to remove your headlight from your bike.
Preheat your oven to 275F. You are going to place your headlight into the oven once it has heated to the 275. I used a cookie sheet to do this step with. Once the oven has heated turn it OFF, and place the headlight assembly into the oven and time it for 10 minutes. Take it out after the 10 minutes is up.
For the next step you will need a flathead screwdriver, because you will need to pry the headlight apart. The silicone is a pain in the rear to seperate at first, but once it goes it becomes fairly easy. Your headlight should look like this once you took it out of the oven and pryed it apart.
You can now take out the high beam projecter with a philips screwdriver and a 10mm wrench on the backside of the assembly. It pops right out. It's pretty close to the size of the TSX (length). TSX bottom / Halogen high beam top.
TSX is smaller in diameter though.
Remove the mounting bracket from the original high beam projector and place the TSX into it. I used a Sharpie Marker to mark where the bolts were hitting on the bracket, and I drilled them out. Three of them had to be drilled out of the four.
To be continued...
