In the fabrication mode at the moment. Have to fab a bracket to connect the TSX projectors to the DEPO lights. Shouldn't be long now, though.
Have some headlights and DEPO projectors for sale in the classifieds if anyone is interested. As soon as the project is complete, I will also have a set of stock Denali headlights on there.

Got driver's side done, but encountered a mounting issue. The new projector is bigger/deeper then the stock one, so I can't fit it in. Need to move the windshield wiper fluid reservoir and battery back about an inch. Should be doable pretty easily, but I ran out of daylight yesterday and today I'm at work. Fitment on passenger side shouldn't be an issue as there isn't much behind the light to get in the way on the side.
Will hopefully have a walk-through and comparison pics in the next few days. Did fire it up and compare the light to the stock, and it's WAAAAY better. Can't wait to get them both finished and installed.

i just did a 55w ddm ballast with a 55w d2s bulb in a fx35 projector with e55 bezel retrofit in my friends ek civic. i didnt get any progress pictures because i was hurrying but they turned out nice. need a little adjusting but nice.
hes got about 500$ in it total.

Yeah, I've got roughly the same in parts into mine. A little more, I think. Not really keeping exact tabs.
You should post ouput and cutoff pics of that setup. I've been wanting to see the fx35 projector results.
Install set for Thursday night.

A couple of my retro results. Will have more to come when I have time for a full write up. Also have since adjusted the beams a bit for a little better cut-off, but you'll get the idea.
Front end look with the final product:

They are aftermarket DEPO headlights for a Denali. Took the projectors out and swapped with TSX clear-lens projectors. I didn't mod the cutoff at all. It looks better now with a more defined step since I adjusted things more. Will have pics of that later, gotta wait for dark again.
The rest was expensive OEM parts:
Matsushita ballasts (come stock on Infiniti/Nissan/Subaru with HID...they are bullet-proof and should last a long time).
Morimoto 4300K D2S bulbs.
Other then a wiring harness, that's it. Didn't need a bezel as the headlights have it built-in.
