Looking very good! I doubt they'd be affordable if you were to charge a reasonable rate for you time put into them, even if you had the time to make them!
| silent_rob_95 | 09-16-2006 08:04 PM |
those are really sweet. my only thing is you should have used black instead of that gunmetal color ;)
but none the less awesome diy work!

I bet that you could make money off of them. Just take them apart, again! (easier said than done) and find a company that'll make the molds for the housings. I KNOW that you could make money off of these. In fact, Put me down for 2 sets!!! ;)
| danscoobywagon | 09-16-2006 08:29 PM |
wow. the headlights look sick. very impressive!! hope to see the finished project soon.

those look great man. what kind of projectors did you use? could possible go with HIDs, make the light output even better. but anyway, congrats, they look awesome.

Those are the projectors that came with the cheap ebay lights... I am going to see how I like them over the next while.. I may end up putting in some Hella 90mm modules if I don't like the light output.

+1 for producing them
id buy a set in flat back :)

those look clean as hell.
i've been having modder's version of writer's block with my retrofit, i have everything i need to start modding but i
1- don't have the time
2- can't figure out where in the hell to start
i have a set of those ebay twin beam housings, a set of modded black housing headlights with crappy "washed it when it was wet" crackles on the outer lens(would rather have another set) and some 06 projectors, plus all the wiring...
but i don't know a thing about fiberglass or anything and i think i'll just do a retrofit into the stock housings but with the projectors on the inside like yours. the hardest part will be finding/fitting a shroud. oh, i'm also going to try to retrofit the same highbeam lamp you have into the stock headlight along side the projector.
those beam pattern pics are a little hard to see, once you get the other side on go out and take some more!

ok so how much are you retailing them for? :D
| japakazol | 10-14-2006 06:37 PM |
get a patent on them and sell them on Ebay! i'd pay $$$$$ for those!
| E-Wrex | 10-14-2006 08:38 PM |
Those are fresh, make me want to do an 02 front end convo. I want to see some night pics of both the halos, I always thought they looked way fresh.
| Enriched | 10-18-2006 05:44 AM |
now patent an retail!!
| Samirr76 | 10-26-2006 02:53 PM |
can you do some night shots with the beams aimed at a blank wall so we can see the exact cutoff? How does the light output compare to the stock bugeye headlights? Same? Better? Worse?
THANKS! :)
Awesome job BTW.

Nice work, too bad you ruined it by using such crap optics. but I guess the only available angel eyes that are cheap is what you purchased. Should have went with Hella:

^^^He did say that he was going to try out the ebay units and see how they work, and swap to 90mm Hella modules if he doesnt like them. No need to get pissy.
| Arnie | 10-26-2006 06:05 PM |
not being pissy. I just see this tremendous amount of work, and damn fine work I might add, to make a nice set of headlights. And its a shame that its wasted because the optics he uses are crap. I've seen these optics in person and in use and their output is poor, even worse than the EDM/JDM optics (which are pretty horrible). I think with all this work, he should have rewarded himself with quality optics from the get go and not wasted his time.

this is also a great way to go. saves tons o'cash over getting the new items. I'm sure you've seen folk who have retrofitted junkyard mercedes or bmw projectors.
seriously, very nice work there. Just get some optics worthy of your effort!

| crashtke | 12-23-2006 02:20 AM |
So what are you driving impressions with these projectors after using them for a while? Did you ever re-fit different projectors? I wonder if they would be improved any with an upgraded harness with direct battery power as well as better wiring. I was curious what they might look like with decent power to them like in some of the threads that mention Danielsternlighting.com. Seems that these upgraded harnesses can handle more wattage and produce more light. Might be an option! From what I ahve read they are able to handle up to 120/100 bulbs. BTW I really comend you on a job well done. People are quick to bash, but you don't always have to pay retail brand name prices to get a decent product. Look at some of the SSautochrome TMIC threads that are around where they acutally are just as good if not better than the big name brands for a fraction of the price! Also as someone mentioned above I would love to see some beam pattern pictures against a wall!! Last question, were you still able to aim the headlights after all this?
| Hallis | 01-27-2007 01:03 PM |
I say bump for one of my favorite DIY threads of all time. I have no skills so i just bought a set of JDM's with oem HID's.
