    RetroFitted been done yet on 02 headlights?

    I searched but didnt find anything. I like the 04+ ctr projector style headlights but I like my 02 headlights better for some reason. I don't like the outline bubble shape in the lense of the 04+. So that brought me to the conclusion of retro fitting my 02's, painting them, hid, led signals etc. So has anyone else done it yet? I wanna prap as much as I can and research what projector will fit the best, tsx comes to mind at the moment. So any advice before I start would be awesome, and when I start on it here soon, I'll defiantly do a walkthrough and take pics. Thanks nick

    If you are talking about retrofitting and then putting the lens from the 02-03 headlights onto a 04-05 style housing, I've thought about it, but never tried it. I was thinking about trying the opposite. Putting 04-05 lenses onto 02-03 housings.

    No im thinking about putting a projector into the 02-03 housing and leaving the rest the same. Paint it and hid it. But is that outline bubble shape part of the lense on the 04+?

    the parts aren't interchangable between the 2 headlight styles (lenses, shroud trim, turn signal area, etc).

    And yes people have put projectors in the 02-03 headlight style.

    I believe the member 'paulmofyourhand' successfully retrofitted some bi-xenon projector's into his 02/03 headlight's.

    Hmm I would love too see how their's turned out. I've sourced out most of the parts I wanna use. 3 day weekend coming up I may just go for it. I really wanna see what they used to seal up the back of the projector after they were done..

    PM Moogen, he's the mastermind of 02-03 retorfits actaully. I just traded non-HID 04-05 JDM projectors for them.

    Nope, not to my knowledge. I have the 04-05 lenses and the 02-03 retrofits, but I've been too busy to try it.
