Jason those look amazing. I'm kinda chuckling because in the first pic you can see Milan and yourself in your bumper. Curious, how much did this entire retro cost?

I haven't commented yet, but I must say that this is a sick fucking retro! If there's a point to it, who cares? They look bad ass! But in all seriousness, why the quad projectors? Isn't the traditional way more than enough light? Or is it one of those "Cuz I can" sort of mods?

Well I saved money by getting all the parts myself off of ebay but with everything umm lets see
OEM Housings Painted Flat Black  housings were i think i got em for like 140 shipped or something
Orange reflector tinted
FX's with clear lenses in the low beam area 130 plus clear lenses 40
TSX's in high beam area with color mod 150
4 Matsushita ballasts roughly 300
4 6k bulbs 100 dollars
Shrouds were 100 for 2 sets
labor and wire harnesses 450
oem switch and wire harness 50
Total roughly 1500 dollars

With twice the output from my previous retro I'd have to say its a lot better out put as well as the fact that I now have HID high beams instead of stock which rock as well.  I like driving at night have a lot of classes at night and also go up north from time to time where there really isn't any city/street lighting.  And its just because I can why not lol.

Do you have any cut off pictures yet?  I'd like to see the difference in output from 1 to 2 sets of projectors.  I'd also like to see your high beams.

wow 1500 for it! thats expensive, but im sure the output is insane. if i ever got the kind of money to do this, i would do it in a heart beat. looks so much better than just a single retro IMO.

what i want to know is how you mount the TSX projector in the high beam bowl?

Ehhh, the price isnt bad.  The retro I have(s2000 projectors, E46/A4 shroud combo) cost about $1000-1100 to make and I bought em 2 months after they were completed for another member for like $900.

No night shots as of yet I need to raise the drivers side just a bit but need some free time.  Also I have a pos camera so even if I took photo's couldn't really tell much of anything lol.

don't know about the HID retrofit. 08 Pilot had HID and dropped on 09. That can say 2 things: either bulb replacement are too expensive or the output seems almost like having a silverstar.

if i ever think of changing the head assembly, will go directly to the Inspire ones. those rocks big time...
