the 330's are physically nearly identical to the TSX, and when installed, you'd never know the difference side by side, however they do look crisper/more colorful than the TSX.
as for dual projectors, it won't work. there isn't room for it, and even if there was, having a stand alone high beam projector is unsafe due to the lag time it takes to warm up the HID bulb - you would have temporary loss of vision. That is why cars are either bi-xenon, where the bulb is always on, the cutoff shield just repositions, or vehicles with seperate high/low beams, there is always an HID low, and never an HID high for that reason.
Finally, you would have to use an entirely different bulb, you would need to switch from H11 to D2S.

Chad,
what about projector size ? are the 33's smaller or bigger than the TSX ... I've been researching this and I knoe the 6 doesn't have a lot of room behind the headlight bucket itself. That's a bit of a PITA. I was gonna use S2K ones myself, smaller although more pricey. Those that want a dual retro ... well there's probably no enough room to make it work, and really you wouldn't use highs that much anyways.

alright guys, just a really quick comment. in terms of ballpark figures, if we can get 5-10 of the same orders (same projectors, bezels, etc), then we would be looking somewhere in the neighborhood of 550 for the TSX's. Not bad, considering they are a 200+ dollar set of projectors alone. Then, factor in bezel cost, HID bulb/ballast cost, spacer cost, and the actual retrofit procedure, and you have yourself a great headlight for not a lot of money.
However, I would recommend the Lexus 330 projector over the TSX. It includes a TSX clear lens mod, which will give a better cut-off and better light flicker/color rendering (more along the lines of the picture shown above). Cost is the same, but you get better visual effects.
I actually have questions to ask Chad yet.
1. Is this going to be a scenario where you just buy the headlight, or will we be sending ours in?
2. If we send ours in is there a core available?
3. If they are a buy the headlights, will there be any refund if we do send our stockers in?
I don't really see our fog light as a TRUE projector, and having it as a low beam isn't that great of an idea.. it was designed to be a fog light, small lense.
