LOL sorry about not cleaning them I religiously clean the car once a week, usually the weekends but as you know I was out of town, so that was about 4 hours of driving into bugs on those lights .brandonbeeb wrote:just wanted everyone to know that we got spocks lights, he kindly dropped them off tonight, look lke they just came out of the showroom actually lol. how he brought them to me was perfect, all bulbs inside, ballast still attached. basically i just got finished stripping them down, all screws are out, ballasts are off (theres a nice hole when you take them off as they actually seal the headlight unlike most headlights) bulbs are out and headlights have been cleaned so when we put them in the oven it doesnt bake any of the dirt into the lenses. All thats left is to get them apart tomorrow so ill get some pics up shortly and keep everyone updated throughout the day tomorrow
Somehow I'm sure I wont be the only one checking on updates throughout the day today (gotta keep it hidden while my boss is around though).brandonbeeb wrote:All thats left is to get them apart tomorrow so ill get some pics up shortly and keep everyone updated throughout the day tomorrow
hey its actually a company, theres 2 of us who do the lights, i do the actual retrofitting and the other guy is the person to see when it comes to wiring or anything electrical. he makes up all the custom harness but also does retrofitting. we started the company about a year and a half ago, before that we did retros on the side as a hobby then we would always get asked about doing other peoples light since they where interested but didnt like the prices that light werkz charges. and eventually it turned into us becoming vendors.Shift_Altima wrote:sick.
brandonbeeb.. not to be rude or dense or anything.. but are you like a person in a company? or is this something you do as a passtime? or like oddjob or seomthing?
sweet...can't wait to see the pics of these!!brandonbeeb wrote:Just a quick update both lights are apart ( the 3.5) are not fun with the factory hid as the rubber butyl they use is like cement so an oven cant be used. anyways its time to start the retro

Just a quick update both lights are apart ( the 3.5) are not fun with the factory hid as the rubber butyl they use is like cement so an oven cant be used. anyways its time to start the retro
yeah, many had difficulty to open them, so how did you do it?brandonbeeb wrote:Just a quick update both lights are apart ( the 3.5) are not fun with the factory hid as the rubber butyl they use is like cement so an oven cant be used. anyways its time to start the retro
Since you can do the non-HID factory lights, would it be helpful at all if we can send you the headlights, balasts, bulbs and projectors? I'm pretty sure I can find all of those things once I have money. I would only need angel/demon eyes and then the fabrication (obviously).brandonbeeb wrote:looks like they wont be finished until tomorrow night i have to run a few errands to pick up some items for the projectors. forgot to add that for the next couple orders we can also do colour mods on the projectors on certain models to get a nice purple/blue tint to the cutoff colour.
I have 2 sets of bixenon projectors comming in early next week if anyone is in a hurry to get theres done before the big group buy let me know. can also do them for non factory hid lights as i have a set of d2s bulbs and adapters with factory colour output
to be honest id prefer to buy the stuff instead of people piecing it together, because then i cant warranty it and dont know where you get it from as i use the same supplier to get all my parts from. although projectors arnt warranty since there all used id still prefer to purchase the parts for you unless you already have them let me know. honestly you wont even notice the difference in light output with the mod done, its so small that its worth it to get a nice colorful cutoff.AppleBonker wrote:

Also, if you color mod the FX bixenons, how much does that affect the cutoff? I've heard a bunch of people complain about color modded FX projectors not having a sharp/clean cutoff at all. I know color modding affects it somewhat, but do you have any input on to what degree?
to be honest its not worth it to take them apart unless your doing a retrofit, and it advise not to try to take your lights apart unless youve done it before as theres just to many things that can go wrong.Shift_Altima wrote:damn that's nice. i can't wait. i hate to be the one asking all the dumb obvious questions.. but how do you take out headlight housing? and if it's done by someone how much will it cost to take out and put back in?
