Alright I heard back from the seller of these lights (fishcake321) and he is willing to do a group buy for these lights once we can give him a solid list of interested buyers. We need to distinguish between 3 different packages the seller is offering. The packages are:

Package A: The Headlight by itself with no bulbs included. (CAN INCLUDE REFLECTORS FOR ADDITIONAL $18)
Package B: The Headlight plus a pair HID D2S bulbs at the color of your choice from 4300K, 6000K, 8000K, 10000K and 12000K. And also a new pair of halogen H1 bulbs for the high beam.
Package C: On top of package B, add a new set of either CLEAR or SMOKE reflector

Here are the prices for our group buy. It looks like we have 10 people now and some people on the fence so if you are truly interested PLEASE ADD YOUR NAME and lets see if we can get the 20 person discount!

10 people's pricing:
Package A: $320.00 shipped.
Package B: $370.00 shipped.
Package C: $380.00 shipped.

20 people's pricing:
Package A: $300.00 shipped.
Package B: $350.00 shipped.
Package C: $360.00 shipped.


All people who purchase the Package deal will receive a FREE set of TSX Metal Tire Value Caps.

These prices with 10 ppl look to be about $50 off, give or take a few, original price so I'd say a pretty good deal even better if 20 ppl!
Here is a link to the seller's store to get an idea of what you'd be getting <A HREF="http://stores.ebay.com/fishcake321_ACURA_TSX_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ7147588QQftidZ2QQtZkm">LINK</A>

ADDITIONAL OPTIONS
--To Canada, it's $18 more. They will ship via UPS and we will mark lower than actual value, but any custom duty/tax will be receiver's responsibility. And they do have declare some medium value so if anything happens to the package, at least our shipment will be covered by the insurance. As you know, whatever they delcare on the package will be how much they can get the reimbursement for IF something happens to the package.

--Chrome bulbs are amber in color. If someone wants different color, we do carry LED bulbs, Hi-Power 194/168 LED White bulb is $10.00 a pair. I don't think anyone is interested in the siganl 7440/7443 in White LED, but we do have 7440/7443 in Amber LED for $15 a pair.

--For Package A with reflector, please add $18.00 for the reflector.

They look fantastic. The additional LED lights I got are pretty nice, too, though the interior dome bulbs are a little dull.

Received the lights today. they look real good. everything was very well packaged and secure.

I totally forgot about having to sign for the package so I figured they wouldn't be able to deliver it today since I'm at work. But when I went online to see the tracking, it said it was delivered! I thought to myself how could that be?
Then i remember the cleaning lady that comes to my house once a week was there and signed for it!! CLEANING LADY FTWW!! YES

So I went home for lunch (only 5 minutes away) and saw the box.
Everything seemed to be there in 1 piece, only thing I did not see was the 6000k HIDS but I think those may have already been installed in the headlight. I will have pics tonight and will be installing fri night/sat morning

For reference, before:

I agree with the packaging, it even came with a box shaped fish! HAHA
Image


maybe a few pix for those looking to install themselves

1. take off bumper, look at diy section for that
Image

2. There are 4 bolts to take off to get the headlight out, circled/arrowed in red. the bottom one you'll need an extension on your socket.

3. this one;
Image

4. pop off the headlight, unplug all harnesses
Image

The high beam you need to pop off the rubber thing (pretty self explanatory)
Image

This is what I was confused with for minute or two until I figured it out. That metal spring thing is what clamps the light tight. What you need to do is push and then move over to the side to unhook it. Once unhooked you can take the bulb out, and plop it in the new headlights, and just clamp it back. The HID has two clamps (no picture)
Image


5. (Unpictured) For the HID part. First take off the ballast, and unhook the harness, set it aside. The cup thing on the OEM headlights covering the projectors is some weird screw. I was able to just use a pair of pliers to twist it off (it's not on tight), so just a headsup (pliers will work fine).. be sure not to touch the HID bulb with your finger or anything, any type of moisture can blow it.

Cut off line seems fine
