Accident! Poor stillen fascia,New eBay Projector *With Pics*

[devilmagic]

i thought all you had to do is stick a screwdriver down into the headlight adjustment area without needing to remove the headlights.

Pretty much... access the "knobs" through tire well.. turn it with the right size (small) ranch.

[Blackmobile]

i'd rather turn it with a thousand island myself... anyways, any reason why you want to wait until after winter to make the adjustment? not like you have to take anything apart and then you'll have a nice straight cutoff

[devilmagic]

Its been raining all week .. Temperature around the 30s.. My first concern is the not cutoffs, its how the headlight hold up (if theres any fog up issue or led halo problem). So before I make the other adjustment I want to make sure the quality hold up over the winter first. I just dont want to spend all the time making adjustment and everything to make it perfect and then find out the led burned out or something goes wrong on me. At this current cutoff its not too bad. Driver side slightly lower than the passenger. People in front of me wont get blinded as much.. Same for the upcoming traffic.. The 55w hid is really blinding.. I feel like an a** already with this bright lights .

[devilmagic]

Adjusted the cutoffs today. =) less blinding for others

We demand pictures...

[devilmagic]

haha really? I lower the passenger side cutoff lower . about the same level as the driver side. use your imagination! lol

[jeffreey916]

finally someone bought the ebay headlights and posted some pics. nice looking coupe, could you post some more pics of the headlights? like maybe some pics of the headlights on with the angel eyes? do those 3 leds where the parking lights are supposed to be light up when the headlights are on?

Hey there, i just bought these headlights off ebay too, and i have a bunch of pics if you wanna take a look at them!

nice headlights and bumper man. i just recently got these headlights off ebay too and installed 6k HIDs in em. i heard they fog or whatever, but so far i haven't seen anything.

Yes, really. Im not sold on these things until I see with my own eyes that they can actually function properly.

Pretty please????!!!

yea a little condensation usually happens after i drive the car for 30 minutes + .. fog up happens more often at night. Btw nice LED strip !

[devilmagic]

Beasy as you request. Here are the pictures AFTER the adjustment.

Thank you man. Looks so much better. On my radar now...waiting for some additional pics from another member and I might pull the trigger on these.

[shift_craNk]

devil, did u like the quality of ur ebay projectors? i know dangeris can hook them up, but dont have the money for that ( but otherwise, how do u like em?

[devilmagic]

so far so good, other than the condensation issue.. i cant say much til this winter is passed.. trial period lol

[dangeris]

The alignment of the cut offs is much better!...Great job

On a side note, what you guys fail to realize is that those ebay lights have halogen projectors thus the curveature of the bowl is tailored to a regular incandecent light. If you guys put aftermarket HIDs in them, which I'm pretty sure 99% of you do, the light pattern is now scattered and produces more heat in there (although it is lower temp) and it burns the refelctive coating off of the bowls. Just something to keep in mind...

[devilmagic]

that is why these are on my trial period lol .. let them run for couple months and I will post if anything goes wrong . I massage eBay guy he tells me theres a 2 year warranty for these headlights. I doubt I will own this coupe for 2 more years though.

[DJ_B_Easy]

Everything still holding up OK with these headlights?

Here are pics of Foggin inside the headlights





And here are pictures of my dogs lol (random pic sharing)

[DJ_B_Easy]

Yeah thats what Im getting too. Like I said in the other thread I was able to get most of it out by opening the connection for the parking light, turning on both low and high beams, and essentially cooking it out the back. Need to do it again when the temp gets high and stays high.

[devilmagic]

Yea best time to deal with the fogging is summer time , pick a hot a** day after a long a** drive and get a big a** hair dryer .... Vap the s*** out of the inside lol. Good luck bro

[DJ_B_Easy]

I was also thinking about throwing a couple of those silica gel packets you find in new shoes or electronics in there. Well, maybe not throw, more like nicely place with a little tape to hold it in place and a string attached to pull it out if it comes loose. Hopefully that will suck some of it up.

Good thing the woman had a new pair of boots delivered today!

[devilmagic]

Wrap a string (better tie it well) to the pack and slip in the housing during the day when your not using the car or not using the hi/lo beam. I think for best result, do the hair dryer, engine heat first before throw in the pack. Can't wait for the summer to come, gonna fix the foggin issue and repaint the bumper.

If you take the headlights off (a pain, I know), you can aim a hair dryer/ heat gun into the housing once you pull out the bulbs.

Once all the moisture escapes silicone the crap out of every seam. EVERY set of aftermarket lights need extra silicone. Me and my buddy just did this for his e36 M3. Even "good" brands need extra silicone.

Although I'm sure Dangeris has that covered

Also make sure the rubber grommet for the bulb fits snugly.

[DJ_B_Easy]

I really do think its due to the current temp. I installed these on Sunday and they were fogging the very same day, they hadnt even seen any weather yet. Figure they were inside my house at 70 degress plus and then I install them in 40 degree weather. Hot on the inside + cold on the outside = fog on the inside. Its like they came from the factory with the moisture already trapped inside. It only shows when the lights have been on for at least 10 minutes or so. I rarely drive at night so its not a huge issue to me at this point.

The silicone is actually pretty decent, but I did see a few spots that could use a touch up. I do plan on using a hair dryer as well, Im just going to remove the bumper when I wire up my fog halos and do it all at once...which may not be for a while. Grommets behind the projectors are legit, they fit very snug, almost difficult to remove.

Ill be sure to post up some pics once I get it all worked out.

Thanks for the input all.
