VXCL Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 From another thread- thought others would find this useful TSX vs FX vs E39 vs OEM H7 Projector Output TSX -nicest cutoff, very bright, small focal area, spreads light the worst, emits no light above cutoff FX -spreads the light more then tsx, largest focal area but not as bright, cutoff isnt as nice, emits the most light above cutoff E39 -largest projector w/ 3" lens, speads light the most, emits a decent amount of yellow above center cutoff, brighest focal area but the smallest, emits some light above cutoff OEM H7 -output is much less then D2S Xenon, cutoff is not crisp, window in cutoff allowing for output down the road, light spread similar to TSX, small focal area similar to e39 Both TSX and FX units are similar. The TSX is brighter and the FX spreads light better. I'm guessing you could mess with the fx to create some blue and purple in cutoff if desired. peace PICS go in order right to left as follows: TSX -> FX -> E39 -> OEM H7 (far then cu) MAYHEM #122/22 STS NNJR SCCA AUTOX4U.COM XENON RETRO GUIDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forestir Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Interesting. My OB's projector headlights is one of the features I really love and won't do without in future cars. Yet it's something I'd never really thought about before, and certainly never compared while car shopping. I observe that Acura TL's also appear to have excellent beam coverage. Did the original poster ensure the exposures were set manually to be consistent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_luv Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Good job VXCL guys remember that we can tweek the projevtors with #8 washers and lens spacers and different len's so what you see isnt what you get theres always room and a way for improvement.

Did the original poster ensure the exposures were set manually to be consistent? i took all the pics myself and yes they were all taking under the same conditions and same camera settings. the oem h7 units are one of the best i've seen for that type of lighting. also just to be clear all of these projectors are rated good or better by the majority of lighting nuts. This comparison is for the xenon retro nuts like myself. MAYHEM #122/22 STS NNJR SCCA AUTOX4U.COM XENON RETRO GUIDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edkwon Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 so, is anyone one of these illumination patterns supposed to be clearly superior to all the others, cause while they are different, they all seem fine to me. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniStiGuy Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 you can add my RX picture as soon as I take it off my camera. Its like the Fx one. OEM HID's Rx330 Retro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Repsak Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 fx projectors wont fit unless some serious modding to the projector...belive me i tried, If you know of a way to do it please let me know I have a set in my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniStiGuy Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 yeah we know fx's wont fit because of the odd shape of them. My Rx330's though I'm saying are like the fx beam picture. I think besides s2000 and fx's the rx330's are the 3rd widest beam on the market. Well maybe the LS's are probably a bit wider and diffenently the most intense on overall output (they are BRIGHT).

Repsak Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 they are just way to wide to put in the oem spot, event then I think they stick out too far to be able to put the housing back on, at least from my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_luv Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I got my hands on a tribeca housing and yanked the projector out of it, I must say the out put is very nice and it has clear lens, but its built simular to the S2K projector with the projector and the highbeam is one componet I also would like to add that it is a partly full inclosed projector rather odd but I will post pix later on today.

mr_luv Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Ok Ok OK I will dig it out and stick a cheapo hid bulb in there and fire it up, the only good thing really is the lens the projectors look like ish. lots of gaps and openings.
