test fit /leveling out projectors

 

looks great!!

 

Did you put somethin inside the shield? They look kinda grayish I hooked mine up so they're extra blu whenever anybody looks at em, lights on or off looks good tho, how do you got the halos wired up??

 

nah man thats just how they are i guess, and there not wired up yet but im just wireing them to a switch, cause my halos are blue and dont want um on all the time yea know? lol

 

and thanks
i figured out what im gonna do with the reflectors, just gonna night shade the part thats still amber and and put a silver vinyly sticker saying "cobalt" on them

so they should be done and mounted this week

 

so far so good

 

thnx man

 

Looks sweet! Roughly how much this cost you?

 

is that salt all over your car?

 

like the idea of the turn signals

 

yes that is salt all over my car lol, sucks to live up north lol, they over salt EVERYWHERE, in my opinion they should loose the salt and ppl should just learn how to drive in the snow

 

umm 200 for the retros
think i paid 150 for the headlights
price in paint maybe 45 bucks with primer black and clear duplicolor

395 ish i guess

n how did you do that?

 

If you put somethin inside the projectors in front of the cutoff shield you can change the color of the light, an how the light looks when you look at it.. hit up hidplanet.com you can get some good ideas out there even with the buyhid ones

Edit:: this one guy put part of a coke can an it turned red.. I used painters tape, i turned a puuuuuurfect blue like I wanted
I'm real picky an it turned out exactly how I wanted, if you need some help, pm me, I'll put you on game... wit mah still drunk ass

 

they've salted so much down here that we have a shortage now, and it hasnt even snowd that much, sucks

 

Seeexxxyyyyy

 

Should move down here, we only use sand lol. It gets a bit dirty at the start of spring before they sweep it all up but it's way better then salt on our cars.

Headlight's look sick man, I just painted my stockers but your's make me wish I had the time and money to build a set of retro's. Good job

 

Like I said on OCC, very nice. That picture of the cutoff makes me really realize how much I need to fix mine hahaha.

Remember kits, test fit and level the projectors prior to sealing the headlights...lol

Finished pictures should look good.

 

lol this is my second time around. i bought the retros off of brad (mini 3ini) or whatever his screen name is lol and i wanted um on my car right away, so i tore apart my stocker and threw um in, the leveling was a little off, and decided i wanted to do a proper retro build, so i bought a new set and did it right and took my time so i could have a set on my car while i did them lol so i didnt have to do it all in one afternoon


got pics man?

 

i think i found out what your talking about on that forum, looks sick lol got pics of yours? im curios
and now i dunno what color id wanna do lol , maybe paint the sheilds black to help with the blacked out appearance? or blue to match the halos? lol i dunno gonna have to spand some time thinking about that... definitly wanna do it tho.

but damn you i was gonna seal um up tonight lol

 

Quick question for you. How did you get the reflector detached from the housing? Pulled like hell or is there a trick? I broke one of the clips on my gen4s and I'd really like to NOT do it with my stock lights.

 

i dunno ive done it twice..once was fine..once not so much, i flipped it over stock a flat head screw driver on the mounting things and hit it with a hammer, the first set of lights i did it to worked like a charm, this set however broke off two of the mounting locations, like on the reflector its self, but just on one of the headlights, a little epoxy and it was as good as new lol,

you dont have to take um off to paint them

 

these are so sexy. .

 

Thanks. I got them off by heating them with a hair dryer and pulling. These were WAY easier than the 4th gens. The clips are much more flexible. I was nervous for nothing. Good luck with your retro. TLs are going into mine this week.

 

Ooo tls are a bitch I've heard lol, ima see if I can put up some pics later tonight

 

thnx man

ill be looking forward to seeeing um man
