Finally finished them. Only serious mistake is when i put them into the oven to seal them back up i left them too long so i kinda melted the lens



thank god for jbweld



I painted them exactly like my old black housing headlights





cutoff








Here's a comparison to my mom's stealth (i raised them up a little bit after this)




compared with my old HID's






All in all, they seem a lot less bright then my old HID's, but they have a much firmer cutoff. I think i'm just used to my old bright purple ones. Also i think something is wrong with the drive side projector because it's not lighting up as much area


Big thanks to syclone for instructions and see_fuu for the relay and all the help

 

I wanna learn how, btw, how much the whole project costs you? Can you help me out too?

 

no doubt nice job
looks maad hot
lets do my headlights now:naughty:

 

Looks great. If possible, how much did this project cost? Where did you get the projector? All the details

 

dracord = KOREAN!

http://mywebpages.comcast.net/syclone1/hid/page1.htm for instructions. I think i did one thing differently though. When you drill holes through the housing to mount the projector i used a 1/8th drill bit, then pounded the screw a little bit into the hole, then screwed it in so it kind of made threading in the plastic housing. Then i put a nut on the other side all the way down to the body and Jbwelded it.

I did this so the screw had something for leverage to turn. How you adjust these is you turn the wingnut and it will push or pull the screw which is has a spring on it so you can adjust it



The first time i did it, i just drilled a hole and pushed the screw through, did it all up to find out when i turned the screw it would just keep turning in the same place, not moving. It's also very hard to make sure the projector is lined up straight so i tested it 2 different times and redrilled the mounting holes. Make sure everything is how you want it before you seal it back up



If i did this again, i would try to get see_fuu to build me a pair, but that's a tad bit more expensive. Luckily i had a bought black housing headlights, and i did this project with my oem's. this project spanned over 3 months, partly because i was lazy but a lot of time waiting for the jbweld to dry.

You can look on ebay for parts, i got my set (projector/bulbs/ballasts) from a member named heydanchan on ebay for $450. One of the bulbs wasn't working so he upgraded from some osrams to phillips 85123 which are better.

You can use pretty much any projector, but keep in mind the smaller the better. If you get really big ones you will hvae to relocate parts

 

looking GREAT

 

Hey what did you do to seal up the back? A friend of mine did some ghetto way of having to use duck tape and told me that he worked on it with see_fu and said there is no way but to use duck tape to completely seal it up. I thought it looked really ghetto. I want to try to avoid this if at all possible. I bought myself a pair of audi a6 projector, ballasts, and bulbs all for $356 shipped to my house. Just waiting on that and trying to find a used set of oem headlights.
