There are companies that do it for you, I wanted to do it, www.illusion-lighting.com does it, I have a point of contact in VA beach, what you would have to do, is buy extra headlamps and extra bi-xenon projector(from ebay much cheaper) and send them the companies, takes about 2 weeks,
2 HEADLAMPS $200
2 bI xENON pRON: 300+
hID kIT +400
Intallation 350-400
overall not worth it, but hey if you want to be different |

| Maybe next year - I already have the hid kit and I love it but I guess I'm just concerned about the glare. I had to adjust my down again this weekend a half turn b/c I was flashed two times. |

I found out that suvlights.com will be developing a projector housing for the mdx... as I find out more I will keep everyone updates. Here is an email I received.
Yes, we will soon have the OEM Valeo HID projectors (both single/low beam and dual/ low & high Bi Xenon) as used on the Cadaliac CTX and new Dodge Viper.
prelim cost is $600 for dual/ Bi xenon, and $500 for single. |

| Yah, the only thing the mdx needs is those, If SUVlights are doing an aftermarket headlight for the MDX, I dont think were going to need a facelift, an a while, especially with Bixenon, |

More info...
Will they meet DOT Specs?
yes possibility ECE as well
Do you have a time frame for availability?
ck back on our site (suvlights.com), 1-3 weeks |
|

| so that price includes the hid lights and stuff? |
|
|
| jswift2000 |
| I dont know but I dont think so but I will ask. |
|
|
| DUBYA123 |
| I would think just the headlamps, because the hids alone cost 400-500 |
|
|
| jswift2000 |
| Thats my thinking. $500 for two headlamps and i'm in. Illusion-lighting.com will go custom headlamps with hids for $800 so I would think the $500 only covers two housings. I may wait until the 2004 model comes out to see if they have HIDS. |

:) Im not willing to wait for 2004, The thing with Acura (if there reading) is that they come up with things to late, Projectors Bulbs, V8, I mean they put HIDs in the CL and TL, and not on the MDX, RSX that was a dissappointment, now the RX330 gets projectors,
Acura should of saw that coming, but oh well |

| I know of a company that does projector lamp conversions. The big secret is that the conversion consists of a set of PIAA lamps fitted to the headlights with some smart knife and caulk work. |
|

| manus tell us the company, Please |
|
|

| illusion-lighting.com will do this for about $800, inlcuding the phillips hid kits. I also know that hid4less.com will do a headlamp conversion, but everyone on this site knows their reputation. There is a lof of info on www.hidforum.com. |

| I received an email from illusion-lighting yesteday and they do a reto of the headlight housing, which you have to provide, that includes a hella 90MM projector or an Audi/BMW Projector. |

| your not going to wait for suvlights for their headlamps, |
|
|
| jswift2000 |
| Not sure. If I go with illusion-lighting.com I know they're going to use true Acura OEM Headlights (b/c I need to send them) and good projectors. I will need to sell my hid kit though, b/c they include one with the price. No big deal. I need to wach the cash flow so I have some hard core thinking to do. |
|
|
| DUBYA123 |
| I dont know if its true or not, but everytime I ask about the project, everybody always tells me do I have an air intake, they say theres not enough room for the projectors on the drivers side with the OEM intake, so they advise me to get an air intake |

If your planning on doing the conversion, check this out here.
The PIAA 1000 series is without a doubt the best projectors available. PIAA makes xenon projectors for under $300 and HID projectors upwards of $1,500. PIAA has a projector for everyone and they are sold all over the net. |
