Most Def the larger angel eyes for me. How will they be mounted? with silicone or epoxy or will you use a pin vise to drill a hole and use super thin wire to hold them in place?

That's not what I was told, he was telling me that a couple of mods in the altima forum were asking for projector headlights and the fabricator fee is waved. As far as I know and he knows his fab fee is two sets of projector headlights == him loosing money on the GB.
ohh crap.. that sucks.... my fab fee was $50... it must vary depending on the price of the product!

the larger angel eyes are much easier to mount as theres more surface room for them since the back has a plate on it. that was the problem with the thin angel eyes theres very little room to mount them, where going to go about seeing some new ways of doing the angel eyes with the coupe

Off-topic... but correct Doc..Depending on the nature and complexity of the part/modification.. the monitary fee may not fit the situation.

Each modification introduced to the fabricators section is taken differently... (not "ohh your my friend so ill give you a deal" but to ensure quality control in some situations)

I also think Dangeris' idea may be a good one... Kind of like how Neon tubing is secured to its bracketing with metal wires.

some of the spots on the lights are from the flash and not actually there especially how the brushed aluminum looks. the flash made it look blotchy

Looks really nice although the angel eyes looks kinda weird to me being its half blacked out. Also, since its a Bi-Xenon setup, curious on how absolute is going to finish off the high beam side. Overall though the lights look nice.

Brandon, When you get my lights back, I want the seal of my lights to look like absolute's. These look 100% better than what mine looks now and are amazing looking! :oy Great Job man

thanks for the feedback guys. the demon eyes are def different, when there on they look crazy. all of the seals have been good, as well as bina's you can see from the pictures above. everythings going well, im trying to come up with some ideas for bi xenon. alot of people are just running quad highbeams although the halogen wont do much blacked out its there for when you want to highbeam people sometimes they cant tell with the bi xenon but this way they will see the yellow halogen come on and its just one of those things.

Thanks for the input guys... I can't wait to get them on the car. I haven't decided what to do about the high beams yet... I'll probably get another set of bulbs (my parents own an auto parts store, so getting a cheap set of bulbs is easy ) and paint them black just to fill in the space. I may eventually do something else, but I haven't come up with anything interesting yet.

I just got my lights today and I have to say that Brandon does amazing work! they look amazing and barring any unforseen electrical or seal problems (which I don't think will be the case) these lights are exactly what I wanted! He even went way out of his way to redo parts that I didn't like or to get the colors right.

The only issue is that the electrical tape for the demon eyes peeled up a little in one light due to the cold from shipping (which Brandon told me beforehand that it could be an issue), but I think that it will lay back down after the lights are installed and allowed to heat up for a while. I can't get over how badass these things are. I will have a full picture set up after I install these on Friday night and Saturday Morning.

Again, Brandon has been very courteous and extremely helpful in the whole process and did not mislead me in any way as to the quality of his craftsmanship and so far, the only problem is an easy fix that was not his fault.

That's good to hear Absolute. Let us know how everything goes on the install.

I would expect that Brandon would be doing better work after all the drama that went on earlier this year. Sorry about that dude! The last couple of sets that he's posted looked amazing and I hope when I get my lights back from him they would be totally different than what I sent out

Keep up the great work Brandon
