Lets call these V3. Mavens new retro project

Alrighty time for some new lights for myself again. Heres the basics:
New housings with tinted lenses
Custom housing graphics(may paint)
smoked side markers
Nissan Murano projectors (3")
Phillips 85122+ bulbs
Denso Ballasts modified to 75 watts!
Dual relay harness.
Hidden LED DRLs
LED turn signals and park lights

Carbon print housings:



Got some work done today. Opened up the housings, modified one of the reflectors, got one of the projectors modified. These things are going to be REDONKULOUS......like f*cking daytime. Output picks soon.

Mockup in spare housing


Muranos, stock and modified.


Stock with Iris


Modified with Iris


OEM Denso ballasts boosted to 75 watts, with cooling fans

SO BEAST! Cant wait to see high beam output, these things better have foreground limiters, or maybe adjust the hot spot like 80% to high beam 20% to low beam other wise you will blind yourself! just too much light

did you build the ballasts? ive seen another set of these on hidplanet forums?

Passenger side all mounted up, 2 different inner housings Im choosing between.







Havent decided on the carbon print or satin black yet....leaning a little towards the satin since its a bit more subtle and I left the t/sigs chrome. DRLs will work WAY better in the chrome

A: Im honestly making these pretty quick. Not doing anything "crazy" justgood projectors, bulbs and the 75watt ballast.

2: I like the chrome reflector bowl, keep the light a little brighter and more open looking. Thats why I am kinda pissed I didnt leave the turn signal chrome. I wouldnt be making decisions like this if I left the signal bowl chrome, Id be running them. If i run them now Ill be painting the singal bowl, the shroud and main reflector satin silver.
