J-RO'S ADAPTIVE XENON LIGHTS: THE PROJECT

As an electrical engineering student I am impressed!

If you really want to try that program out for yourself, let me know and I'll send you the properly formatted version so it's easier to read.

And thanks for the info, Tomasro. It basically comes down to lack of room in the housing for the projector itself to move. A smaller projector would probably have a better chance, but I already bought TSX projectors and I don't feel like dumping more money for another set. Webby said he has some ideas though, so I'm anxious to see what that's about.

How about if all of us help you by donating some $$. I'd love to see this project done, so I'm down to donate a couple $. If everyone helps out, you should be able to raise a couple hundred bucks. Can you tell us roughly how much do you need to finish this project?

Well, at this point, I think I have my mind set on a TSX retrofit for the Si when it comes. However, if someone wants me to work on this for them, I'm up for that. You'd just have to supply me with housings and projectors and I could make the modifications. I already have the motors and the electronics as well, but you'd have to integrate them into the car and calibrate the system.
The other problem is I recently discovered that this project will only work with DX-G and Si's because they're the only ones with electronic power steering (all others are hydraulic). The EPS signal is required by the controller to tell the motors where to move.

^ I'm not trying to offer solutions or shoot this down.... I'm just throwing out points that I know will be issues to overcome.

As far as what projectors to use, I think striker or caveman are the ones to ask.

Hey man I know electronics, let me look this over and come up with some ideas.
