nice man keep up the good work

 

thanks dude.

 

-=shrugs=- meh It was just a suggestion, but as you said, you got it under control.

 

exactly.

 

ok so today was more of a laundry at the parents day lol. but i still manage to make the fiberglass mounting plates and get some other stuff done.

this is the two low beam projector back plates with the gasket rings epoxied on.



the projector in the foreground is the low beam projector with the mounting plate, ring gasket installed and hole cut out. all these plates will obviously be trimmed down to fit. i also bought all the mounting bults, nuts, and washers today.



the next few pics are off the high beam project with the front fg plate installed. i needed a plate there bc the bolts used to attached it wouldn't clear the gasket and bulb holder. so the front plate basically extends the bolts outward to it will clear it. u can see in the one downward pic of the bulb holder etc. how the fg plate corners stick out. another plate will be on the back with the gasket ring. for some reason the loctite 5 min epoxy actually seems like it's bonding the polypropelene to metal. if the stock headlight beam reflector bowl is made out of it then it works. **** is rock solid.







im pretty pleased with how things are going so far. tomorrow im most likely gonna try and bond the high beam ring to the mounting plate and bolt them up and set them in.

 

nice work dude

 

danm its gonna have some evo heratige on the cobalt..cant wait to see the outcome

 

i don't get it. evo heratige? u talking about mitsu evo? how so.

thanks bro

 

You got skills dude.

 

thanks man. im gonna go get some more **** done with these right now.

 

schweet i love seeing progress on your stuff

 

subscribed....b/c impulse is the ****....and i usually for get to subscribe and have to search for his projects....

 

ok today i got these suckers drilled and bolted up ( still have to bolt the bottom of the high beams cuz i ran outa washers and nuts). keep in mind these plates to not look pretty lol. they will be scaled down later to fit into the headlight shell. pics of the two so far:







ok i was also curious to see how the projector will work as a high beam with the cutoff shield not installed. to my surprice it's fantastic. everything i would want in a high beam. it's a very large almost perfect circle. the two things of light on the side are the escaped light from the sides which will not be there when the bezel is installed etc. keep in mind i rigged up the bulb to an almost dead 12 volt battery from a drill. it will be much more powerful etc. oh also. since im using the stock bulb i had to sand off the silverish tint on the end to allow light through and i did'nt finish it all the way so it's still a little dull. hopefully i can find some without the tip dipped.

 

nice

 

Man those shrouds look familar... I think i've seen a pair just like that before

 

yeah lol u saw it earlier in my post lol. ones from a 5 series the other a 3 series aftermarket.

also i found that super glue or cyanoacralate actually does bond the polypropelene if you sand both surfaces.

 

alright today i started to mount the bezels back into the housing. i could only epoxy the high beam in good the low beam is hot glued and supported for now. i will be supporting the back parts with fiberglass and then i will fill in all the gaps etc. don't worry about the bezel looking crooked. they are not permanently attached atm. the only thing i had to make sure was as close to perfect as i could get was the cutoff line to make sure it was horizontally perfect. i put these projectors in with the lense reattached because i had ot make sure i cleared the lense inside. after i fully secure each mounting plate etc. i will take off the lense and adjust the bezels etc. and make the fiber glass beauty plate. i will also ajust both projectors before hand.

 

the high beam is the one to the outside correct? if so, how will those 3 or 4 little vertical lines affect the light beam?

 

the high beam is the one close to where the grill will be. the low beam is the one in front of those little lines. im going to be sanding those lines off.

 

New pics looks sweet, can't wait for a final product.

 

looking good baller.

 

thanks bro. i'll get some more of it done tomrrow hopefully. got to see air show at Jones beachl.

 

gotcha keep up the good work impulse. it already looks like its gonna be sweet.

 

sweetness is the only thing i produce lol

 

i say.. its looking kick ass, but how cool would it be if you left all the mechanics exposed with a nice finished to the pieces.. i think that would be very tripped out.. just put up a back piece to seal in the goodies and leave it.. but im pretty sure whatever you do, its gonna come out nice either way
