The wait for aftermarket projectors ends now!

[mcheddadi]

where do i sign?

(is this the design the companies in red are seriously considering? any ideas?)

They are considering what we show them, so if you guys are sending the email I did in the first post, they will consider that with the other designs. Now if you guys just wait and do nothing and hope mike and bina and me do all the work, it's going to be slow and we might now succeed if the companies don't feel like there is a demand for it.

mcheddadi did you photoshop this picture??

no, that's a real headlight

Hi Mike,

Unfortunately we do not have anything available for your vehicle as of yet.There should be coming down the pipes in the future however there is nothingcurrently available.

Steve

from kbcar stuff.

i emailed them back asking for the timeline, and explaining the opprounities

[mcheddadi]

nice! I'm currently in morocco in vacation so there might be little updates from me, but i'm back the 27th

[RobPaulson]

got a few replies, check em out, what do u guys think?

hello i received your email and i am working with taiwan suppliers to see what we can come up with, since this particular model is not made in asia to my knowledge, its a little hard to produce something, but i will definitely keep you updated if i could come up with something.

http://www.depoautolights.comhttp://www ... s.comseems promising i guess, def going to follow up on this one

Gerry,

I would love to provide projector headlights to you, but I would need at least 150 orders with cash deposits before the factory will make the headlights. To make headlights costs about $300,000 for tooling, design, development and quality control. I tried to do something similar a few years back with a bunch of Toyota Matrix owners, but they wouldn’t commit. Let me know if you’re interested and I can put forth an order.

Thank you.Glenn Moyershttp://www.mytightride.com

150 orders, ugh

[mikegtr06]

hey rob any updates, i havent got any.... 150 orders, that would be tough. and as long as the final product is like 350 and looks like the versa one that would be really really nice.

we should start a poll to see who is really going to buy them, so that we have actual data on who is going to get them.

[mcheddadi]

150!?! that could eventually happen, but we'd need the whole community's support. 100$ deposit times 150 would be a good 15000$

We got the biggest altima coupe forum on the net so if it even happens its going to be because of us lol.

How much exactly would be the deposit? I can make an official thread were we'd get name and deposist and ask Brian or Tyler to make it a sticky. then we'd have to get the biggest altima posters (brian, blake, rob etc.) to put a link in their sig for the thread to get massive views. It could be done

[RobPaulson]

in responded to them both today and let them know we appreciate the quick response times and will keep them informed on our situation.

I would be down with the deposit and everything but i do not want to be the one responsible for all that organization necessary to pull something like that off, my lifes a bit hectic atm.

maybe it is time to make a poll to see who would be willing to make a deposit today (today as in as soon as we get a deal with the numbers this poll gives), we need a solid number of committed buyers, i think if we have that to throw around we might get some more attention.

[mcheddadi]

oki I'll go make the pool

[mcheddadi]

Wait..! so the poll would be for which of the prototypes?

this one:

this one:



or this one:



so the thing to decide is , triple projectors, dual projectors (lower level), single projector(lower level) , ironman style or clear amber style, and halo rings or no halo rings lol

[RobPaulson]

i personally LOVE this one, and would not be as willing to drop 500+ on anything else but these. this is also the only proto i included in my emails (selfish i know, but hey, they are hawt-to-trot and they are the ones that i want lol) so i would go with these.

[mcheddadi]

Yeah I like those too

and about the flat black or clear color I don't think that would be a problem since they just have to use a different paint for it. I'll go make the poll for this one

huh?...anyway i emailed this guy joshua...i saw his work on a you tube vid...lets see what turns up..as for me...still waiting on a driverside...

[maxentropy]

This one, as long as it could handle HIDs and be priced within reason.

[bravey_z12]

clear one would definitely better [just my opinion]me likey

[brandonbeeb]

hey guys if your still looking check out some of our work thankshttp://www.toronto-subaru-club...14283

[mcheddadi]

oh yeah we are always still looking, email me with price info and we can get in contact. I'm next to you in quebec lol

btw, nice retro fit with the fx35 lens on the lancer

[RobPaulson]

mcheddadi have you been able to get ahold of depot auto or billetmyride ??

i have sent them replies asking them to keep my updated but i have not heard anything. At this point it looks like we have ~30 definite in your poll but i dont think billet is even going to blink at a request of 30 =/

as active as these forums are, getting 150 seems pretty rough =/

thank you,to be honest i know alot of you are looking to get ones pre made, the problem with most aftermarket headlights is the projectors they put in. weve had a lot of people come to us with ebay style projector headlamps from various cars and still ask us to retrofit in a tsx projector for example. the problem isnt the lens its the actual projector has no cut off inside it which makes it worse then having h.i.d's in a non hid headlight and creates glare. To be honest i saw a post with someone in here saying they can do them for 400, thats 2 headlights and 2 projectors. which if true is a very good price but im wondering about the bulb converters to convert them into d2s plug ins and the fact you would need d2b bulbs and projectors. id also like to be able to find new headlights for 200 but i doubt that. if this turns out to be legit id go with him cause theres no way i can match that and hes even including labour

[adidas2go]

Very nice Brandon! I really like your work. I will fully support your efforts any way I can It really is the only thing I'm missing from my car

Thank you,Just also wanted to say thanks for everyone that has been sending me emails and pms about the lights. We do alot of work for the subaru club in toronto and nasioc as well as the lancer club. basically weve worked on everything, we even do taillights and interior lighting. i also just want to say that we dont mean to step on anyones toes if weve done so, just trying to give back to the community with a great product with an ever better price. if anyone has any questions done dont be shy to email me or pm me,email: balisch at hotmail dot com

also we could do a group buy if interested, we would just need a deposit and a list of wat each customer would want done (bi xenon, single set ups, hid kits, bulb colour, angel eyez, demon eyes, custom shroud, aftermarket shroud, cystom harness )

thanks,BrandonRetro Lite

[brandonbeeb]

p.s adidas2go your car is beautiful, making me consider getting rid of my sponsored wrx for an altima coupe (and the better mpg helps alot to )

[mcheddadi]

anyone have a pic of the stock HID ballast?

[brandonbeeb]

we dont need that picture anymore, so some good news, weve been comming up with ways to get this all sorted out, basically you can keep your stock bulbs, ballast and harness so they will work the same as stock. we can get these lights apart no problem, right now where looking for a headlight to make a proto type out of either one that has been in an accident or a spare one. even if it doesnt have glass on it we can use it. when we go ahead and do the headlights all we would need is for you to send us your headlight with the low beam left inside it just so we can modify it to fit into the new projector ( durability wont be sacrificed) in the future if you ever need to replace bulbs simple d2s bulbs can be ordered (tend to be a little bit cheaper) and will plug right in without modification.

in terms of the final product its going to be similar to this except the projector will be on the outside not the inside which equals better visability. were also looking at doing something similar to the other design with the led strip inside it. let me know what you guys think,thankshttp://i18.photobucket.com/alb...2.jpg

[brandonbeeb]

forgot to mention for the 2.5 without the hid set up from the factory we can make you a custom harness and get you an hid it with a one year warranty so you will have the same set up as the 3.5, price shouldnt be that much more,

pricing for the 3.5 is looking to be around 400 + shipping to us maybe a bit less if we get a certain number.

pricing for the 2.5 is looking to be 550 with a year warranty for the kit and everything maybe a bit less

[mikegtr06]

what is the turn around time, will there be any angel eyes ?

[mikegtr06]

isnt there a kit that allows people that have aftermarket ballasts to use the d2s projector bulbs ? because alot of the people that want these that have the 2.5 and no factory hid have already bought aftermarket kits like these.
