looks good man

 

I've got them on a switch

And yea I didn't want to be able to see the turn signal bulbs so I added the tinted plexi in front of them but left the reflector bowl chrome

 

Damn! These look real nice!!! MAke me a set.

 

Thanks.
Wert, I barely found time to do mine, bro. If I was still single and no kids, maybe I would...

 

Done. Plasti dipped front emblem, side, rear, and all the badges. Also plasti dipped the wheels. Love the new look. And no, I'm not tinting the tails or side markers as of right now. I just got V-LED platinums and a custom SMD strips in the 3rd brake light and some SMDs in the side markers... It would defeat the purpose IMO. I'll post a vid of the lights at night one day...
Here's some phone pix I snapped earlier today. Might get better ones later.

 

Haha. Make time!... or get me a list for the things ill need to make an identical set. Those look ****.

 

So you rewired your halos to be your running/parking lights? Or are the turn signals are still parking lights? I considered cutting the parking light signal to the amber (when that was all I had), but went with the switchback instead, that way all my forward facing lights are white at the moment.

sure thing:

• OEM/aftermarket set of headlights
• Morimoto Mini H1 Projectors
• E-55 shrouds with hubcentric rings
• H1 HID bulbs and ballasts
• Bi-Xenon 9004/9007 wiring harness from TRS (will need rewiring, comes wired for 9004)
• Scuff pad/adhesion promoter/black trim or plastic paint/2 part clear coat/etc...
• and last but not the least TIME and PATIENCE

I would strongly recommend doing this on a spare set of lights, that way your car is still drive-able if you need to go to the store for something you forgot or if you strip out a projector mounting nut/loose a screw that holds the projector together, or simply run out of time...

theretrofitsource.com resources section, HIDplanet forum, and, of course, CobaltSS.net are irreplaceable in helping you figure out little details/hints (as in what parts of the back of the reflector bowl have to be dremeled off and such)

 

def sexy lookin man, now sell them to me lol.

 

Lol.. They have sentimental value to me. I J/K.. I enjoy the output too much..... Can't see myself driving with halogens again.

And for the update, wanted to see what hey would look like with eyelids. Put some on with plasti dip. (pictures in the first post. Also just installed TRS sticker on the driver's side headlight.. Here's a quick night shot with a Samsung tablet.... Not very good quality, but will have to do till daytime. Here it is:

 

 

sell sell sell sell.......(hand clap) sell sell sell sell.....fist pump lol

 

your headlights didn't melt the plasti dip off? I used pasti dip to make eye lids on my headlights too and when I turned them on it melted the eye lids

 

wow those look great, 'specially with the switchies

only thing im not feelin is the eyelid, its blocking that beautiful headlight!

 

Were yours retrofitted or were they still halogen? Since the bulb is exposed more in a stock halogen setup the lens gets a lot warmer.

I think eye lid addition gives it attitude. No light output is blocked off from the headlight. The finish matches the wheels and badges/emblems. And at night it looks mean with the top part of the light blocked off, while the rest is illuminated.

 

So here's a video of light output of the Morimoto Mini H1 projectors (5K DDM HID IIRC) and matching white H11 HIDs in the factory projection housings.

The fog lights have since been upgraded to 3000K DDM HIDs for improved rain and foul weather visibility (definitely helped in fogs we started having in Portland area)

 

Looks good! Those thinking about a set or kits check out our Black Friday thread.

 

Mkulrey13, feel free to link the youtube video in your thread's OP if you'd like.

 

Thread revival!

I like how you mounted the load resistors. What metal did you use to mount them on? Stainless steel?

 

With the latest V-LED switchbacks the resistors are built in, but when I had them installed like in the OP, they came like that from V-LEDs website. They're mounted on aluminum plates. Highly recommend them for the ease of installation and to keep the heat away from the body of the car.

Here's the link if you want to buy them from them:

Very nice

 

Thanx serega12. I already have resistors but im sure i can fab up something similar to the one you listed.

 

I am about to tackle the black out on the flex. Ill be doing my first retro build for the head lights, since the aftermarket lights are stupid priced. 1k for headlights...
