Even tractor trailers yield to GG when they see him barreling down the highway. No one in their right mind would mess with that Jeep!

It was a good time. Glad I was able to make it down there!

I am coming for sure. It sounds like my buddy is also in. See you guys around 2.

I have only done the MDX projectors, so I don't know if it was exactly like the RX330s, but it sure seemed like they were. As far as the year goes, I can not remember exactly, I seem to recall my projectors being 06 or 07. I'll see if I can find the packing slip when I get home. I played around with the color mod, but I did not like it so much, I really prefer the cutoff line being sharp.

Which BWW is this meet happening at? I have some tentative plans for Saturday, but I may be able to swing by.

Depending on time/location, I might be able to make a Saturday meet up.

I did pop off the horizontal aiming caps, I guess I should have spent a wee bit more time getting it right. I am going to have to pull one of my housings a re-bake it, as I have found some condensation. I will hopefully have this done by next weekend, and I will re-aim them. I have also found one other issue. I had an xtec h7 kit in my other housings for 3 years. They were bullet proof, however now that I have switched over to the D2S bulbs (same xtec ballasts), I am having the dreaded one or both headlights not coming on issue. I am going to order the battery/relay harness today and will be considering replacing my battery as well.

did the 06 specb's had sequential vin numbers? -
My retro has begun! So far everything is going just like MiniStiGuy's walk through. I had to sand off the three nubs off the MDX buckets. After that the legacy shield fits just perfectly. It does look like I need to do some work on the Legacy shields though. I have found oxidation on the cutoff line, and it results in the cut off looking very bumpy. With the lens off, I am unable to tell the difference between the LGT and MDX lens. However they both appear to be pretty clear. Any recommendations on the squirrel finders? What materials did you guys use to seal yours up? How hot do you think the cut off shields get during operation?

Well, the projectors arrived today. Comparing the MDX projector assembly to the pics of the RX330 projectors on the first page, they look exactly the same. of course I am going to have to disassemble the housings to find out for sure. One notable difference, the lens appears to be clear (perhaps they are similar to the TSX lenses?). It's definitely not golf ball like in appearance. I am sure I will get a better idea when everything comes apart this weekend. All that said, what do you Retro OG's think about lenses? The headlights the projectors are going into are from an 07 LGT. If memory serves me correctly, the LGT projectors will not be perfectly clear. Will it be better to go with the LGT lens, or the MDX lens?

So, after having read this thread twice... I am becoming a bit intimidated on starting my retro project. It seems, for a retro newb, the non asf rx330 projectors would be the best way to go. However, I can not seem to find them anywhere. I have found tsx & mdx projectors. So retro OG's, what do you think? Is the MDX D2S projector a close fit, what about the TSX? Am I just better trying to be patient and wait on the RX330 non asf projectors?

ean611, thanks for the quick reply. I also noticed the wheels on the car. I wonder what happened to the stockers... VtspecB, I think your right. 8 months and still on the lot. Either the dealer thinks way to highly of the car, or nobody in mass is interested.. I guess we will see. Cheers, Ryan -

ean611, I know its been ages since you saw this car. But my buddy is thinking about picking it up. Can you elaborate on what you meant by the engine compartment being weird? Thanks! Ryan -
Just finished this little mod on my car . The instructions were very concise and easy to follow. Once again, I am rolling with my XM Radio. Thanks Jazzy!!
