My blacked out Audi style headlights

[coderedk]

this weekend i worked on my headlights and after two full days of work i finally finished up and am very happy with the outcome Definetly was a PITA but very rewarding in the end. Im gonna have a photoshoot with a friend next week so ill put better pics up soon

[xfactor0707]

You sir have on of the nicest coupes . Man i want to bake my lights so badddand the way you did it was perfect with the led strips on the bottom .

[migs7585]

Ya dude, your a/c is now in the same class as Dangeris with the red.....f'in sweet kid

[Hussain]

damn, i need a drop lol looking at pic of my car and your car, a drop makes it look so much nicer. good job your car looks hella nice

[migs7585]

YES U DO! I have my Eibachs waiting to be put on....Come ON SPRING

[The_alchemist]

looks sick bro, I would love to get mine done but I'm too worried I wouldn't be able to seal it enough to avoid condensation

[lilg2033]

beautiful work.

[Kanard]

haha. i was wondering if you were gonna make a thread rene. Looks good though. . i still wanna do mine. but i AM NOT patient. so..lol I see you got boppers now.. (fans of a ill car)

[soxypoo]

i love it

[coderedk]

Thanks everyone for the compliments and kind words, everything came out better than I expected but the seal definetly isn't pretty but It does the job and the messy parts aren't exposed, if I had to give anyone advice to bake their lights I would say to definetly be very patient and take your time to do it right the first time and definetly use a lot of silicon when sealing it up. It would be a lot easier If you have a second person helping out when you seal it back up because you want it to be tight like it originally was to minimize a potential gap between the fenders or the hood. We will be getting storm warnings tomorow up here in NY so I'll keep you guys posted on how the seals are holding up.

[soxypoo]

so the LED strip fit nice with the stillen front how about the stock one ???

[Heels1010]

that looks amazingly clean. nice job! the led strip is inside the headlight housing right?

[blackteam02]

niiice are the leds inside the housing? -looks good

..-but- your wheels..are they photoshopped?? i mean the red stripe looks hot but i dont see it on the rear wheel. thats exactly what im planning on having done to mine in the spring, color match pinstripe on my wheels.how'd you do yours??

[coupecrazy1232]

well i see the headlight baking has begun!!! looks good tho... very clean coupe!

[Bmore-coupe]

Lights look great. Nice work

[b88dragon]

looks awesome man. nicely done. hope it holds up during the storm man, if not try the 3M calk, that darrayl had recommended for me when i did my lights. Stuff a little sticky but best part is i can open it up anytime without ever having to reheat them and that alone saves me alot of time whenever i want to fix or add something else in.

seals great and i used alot of clamps to keep the seal tight and to have the gap minimize and i went a lito ghetto when i used some electrical tape to go around the seam haha, but hey, it works and hasnt fogged up once. here's a picture of my lights and the seam somewhat.

The ghetto electrical tape over the 3M calk only because the stuff is sticky still, so this helps to smooth it out.

Black out but kept the amber, i kind of dig it, but that might change dont know when haha

Audi style with a twist, got this idea from another member but its a strip of leds instead of individual ones. But also i add in some projectors and halos haha.

s*** looks hot as hell man i love the look of the audi lights u had it like i used to.......but imo if u ever get in an accident like i did it sucks bc ur insurance only gives u like 175 for them soooo all that work n sweat n tears went to the s***ter.......sucks

[rcboy514]

yea the leds are inside the headlight housing and arent exposed outside, and my rims are not photoshopped lol all four have the pinstripe i guess you cant see the back wheel cuz of the lighting, and the pinstripe is vinyl, it was an experiment to see if i wanted to get them painted on and now i definetly will for the summer

[sentrastace]

soooooo HAWT

can I pay someone to do this for my sentraaaa??????

[BLKmomba1]

NICE NICE NICE im a fan of the blacked out headlamps... the chrome doesnt work on all cars... id like to just be able to black mine out eventually... looks nice man

[alphapig]

I don't like it. It looks like an LED strip. Which it is.

Christmas tree-ish.

B88dragon's has more an Audi look to it.

[bunda4th]

B88dragon's how did you get the aim correct for the projector?

Also what projectors did you get with what shroud? Do you have pictures while you were working on them?

The way i aim the projector was different from what darrayl told me. I just lined up my projectors with the lil sqaure thingy in the back of the reflector bowl and just eyeballed it lol. I just got out lucky that it was aimed correctly hahah.

I say follow darrayl's advice. U set up a table and have the headlight balanced then turn on the lights and mark off with some tape where the headlights were and where on the wall.

I used a pair of tsx projectors, was hoping to find a pair of s2k, but those things are near to impossible to find.

I wrote a HUGE A$$ thread and a complete write-up on how to do your own retrofit. here's a link to it. warning the thread is super long. but has plenty of pictures.
