Projector Head light assembly

[abhie007]

I was looking for a projector head light assembly for my '08 coupe...I saw some of you guys had a mass order from somewhere....does anyone know if I can still get into that????I loved the look of that light assembly, looked absolutely gorgeous!!!

[QR25DE]

It is a group buy, 25 member limit. All filled out. Check the thread in the Exterior section. Might be some guys giving up their spots. I took jRocks spot.. just waiting on Brandon to email me back.

[abhie007]

Ok i'll check it out...thankx a lot.

[rjdmmfl1]

http://lightwerkz.net is also doing projectors, though their prices are almost twice that of Brandon's!!!!!

[abhie007]

Do you have Brandon's email or some way for me to talk to this guy???

Since I have no part in this group buy, I'm not going to get into the drama that has come from it. I will say that I am going to look out for new members on here and make sure that you know the whole story on this GB before making an uninformed decision.

You can start reading here:

(that one starts to get good in the later pages)

Im not trying to steer you away from taking someones spot in the GB(if they are available) But, I also wouldnt want you to walk into the situation blindly without knowing the history.

Some have had good experiences, some have had bad. I just highly recommend reading this first.

Just my $0.02

[abhie007]

Thankx for the info dude....

I read what you sent me and still it seems things are not quite concrete enough for me to jump into it...Thankx again.

BTW if anyone wants some cool looking LED`s for exterior or interior check out this page

[Mr.Coupe]

Email me dude. I might be getting rid of my set I got done from Brandon. BTW is your car a 2.5 or a 3.5? What packages did you get? Premium, Tech or Ect? Hope to hear from you. And Welcome to NICO.

[dangeris]

sent you an email man Check it out! and take Bmore-s advice

[Jose3.5]

^ I bought some interior led's from there a while ago and they're all dead now, except for one which is now blinks so much that I call it my strobe light.

[abhie007]

I just ordered a LED set for the front bumper. Only 20 bucks so not much of a loss, hopefully they work.

Thankx everyone for the help here....I think I'm gonna stay out of this deal for the moment. Sure to let you guys know if I find an alternate way for the lights. There is a tuner shop in Calgary, gonna go check out if they can do something about this...might be expensive though...they gave me a $11000 quote for a turbo kit

do you have a 2.5 or a 3.5? Also, 11K for a turbo.. maybe that's OK in Canadian dollars, but in US dollars, that's a super rip off..

No thats not ok, got quoted 4500$ for one here

Are they twice as reliable? I'd rather not have to deal with sending them back in case of failure or the drama of not being able to get in contact with Brandon.

[abhie007]

I have a 3.5 SE...

The tuner shop is very well known, they`ve done some really good work on some of the cars. They gave me the quote based on installation and tuning for best performance....mind you they included intercooler kit as well..so maybe all of it does add up...i dont know it kinda still seems too much.

[Mr.Coupe]

You have a reply to your email dude.

It won't make too much of a difference. It's not going to be any more reliable. It's all wired together pretty much the same way. Stuff only fits a certain way. Things can still fail from either company or person. Lightwerks may have more experience in it though. Although I have been talking with Brandon and have no communication issues whatsoever.

If you're not expecting to pay a lot then forget about it, it's going to cost money either way (2nd set of headlights if you already do not have a spare set, bulbs if need be, etc.). If you're not someone that can simply connect a few wires then this is not for you. I have wiring experience and electrical knowledge so if something does go wrong it's super easy to figure out.

Brandon or even lightwerks for that matter cannot control things failing like inverter boards, LEDs, bulbs, and things breaking during shipping. It's something that can happen with any product that is being modified. He does do what companies do, he warrants his work. If something does break he does not just shrug his shoulders. He suggests you contact him and see what can be worked out.

Electronics and bulbs/LEDs do fail. They're made by people. All Brandon does is put this stuff together, test it making sure it works before shipping and sends it off. If you wire it up wrong, break it, breaks in shipping, well.. it can happen.

I think thats enough said. As said above, some people have had an excellent experience with the product and some have not. It comes down to knowledge, it really is power...

I see you're doing a lot of defending Brandon's products... and that's fine.. but the fact of the matter is a LOT of folks have had issues... Darryl (Dangeris) had one of his angel eyes fall of the day before HIN last week....and he had to open his headlights and fix them himself... the list goes on and on, but I don't think most folks here would recommend Brandon anymore ...

to the OP, I have yet to read the internet and see a single complaint on any forum about the work that lightwerkz does.. PERIOD! yeah, they charge more, but they do a near flawless, OEM quality job.... contact lightwerkz!!!!

[legend_217]

Less talk and more act. You should let Brandon do your lights and yo will feel us the customers

I'm not defending anything. I'm simply saying that it can happen to anyone no matter what person or company makes them. I haven't got my lights yet so when I get them I can say if they're good or not. Simple as that.

I'm not going to argue about it, it's pointless really. But if you get something done for cheaper don't expect it to be 100%, it's the chance you take. I work for customer support for one of the largest smartphone companies in the world. I do a lot of troubleshooting, repairing and diagnosis of customer issues day in and day out. What someone finds challeging I may find very simple and vice versa. If I have an issue with the lights then I'll contact Brandon about it. I don't expect any issues though. I went with a very simple OEM-like setup. No extra LED s***. Less stuff to fail, more stuff to work "out of box". Simple hook up and OEM-like styling.

I expect i'll be happy with the result, if not I have my OEM lights. I'l send back the projectors if they don't work or aren't up to snuff and Brandon can fix them. The same that I would do with any company.

I would wait for a company to make projectors... It may not be soon, but one day they will hit the streets, and will probably run under $300 for a set of brand new lights made in a factory.

I agree fully. This is probably the safest bet. I don't mind the risk. LBC you're certainly right, time will give all of us eBay projectors lol.

Basically to sum it up:

1. 99% Guarantee with LightWerks (From what I have read/seen with all the bickering). - Most money.

2. Take your chances with Brandon, give him time. - Less Money

3. eBay Projectors. - Not Available, Less Money

4. Do it yourself, then you only have yourself to blame when it doesn't work right. - Lesser money, more time, possible total loss.

The way I see it is with Brandon you're paying for the following:

1. A set of headlights (if you dont have/want to give up your set).2. His time to put things together.3. Projector lenses: Has anyone priced these? They ain't cheap depending on what you want.4. Bulbs, other odds and ends.5. Shipping.

It really isn't that bad.

If they get here and they don't work there is the following options:

1. Fix them yourself depending on the problem (if you think about it, it's not hard).2. Send them back.3. If no satisfaction, send back for full/partial refund.

It's a chance you take. It's like getting NoName soup compared to Campbell's, it's kinda the same but just doesn't taste right but you eat it anyways lol.

I dunno, I will post pics of mine when I get them in a few weeks then we can discuss it at that point. I guess I'm done talking about it cause everytime stuff like this is brought up people start going on the offensive.

Anyways, to his/her own. If you're not the one buying them from him, don't concern yourself with it. It's really not your problem I guess.

dont do it w/ brandon ive seen what happens remember surmans lights after a track run at carlisle hahahahaha.....dont bother wasting your money if you want them get lightwerkz or just wait its one or the otther or buy rickey c's theres been alot that has gone on since it all started just dont bother getting yourself into this mess and it takes forever anyway

Y'know, I keep hearing all this s**t about Surmans and Dangeris's lights, but I don't think the details have actually been posted yet. All I've heard is "oh, they're crap" and the many iterations of "Brandon's work sucks", but not much to back it up. I understand when these two first got their lights back from him that there were a lot of issues with them, but that was mostly attributed to Brandon's hasty work to get them done in time for a show. He accepted them back under his personal warranty with little fuss, but I haven't heard any details since then.

Like QR25DE, I haven't been having any communication issues with Brandon whatsoever. There may be a day or two gap where he doesn't respond to me right away, but our communication has always been flawless. I'm still putting my faith in him for the time being. If, however, I do end up having issues with my lights, you can be sure a laundry list of complaints will be divulged here on the forums and the follow-up will we well documented for everyone to see. There hasn't been enough full disclosure here for my tastes...

Just my $0.03...

To the OP, what shop was it that quoted you $11k? Was it Tunerworks?

[brandonbeeb]

for all you guys out there doubting my work, surman is going to post up a response tomorrow or today when he gets a chance and he told me it would be in my favour. for the 12th time he didnt have his lights at carlisle for everyone that keeps saying those lights where s***. those where a spare set of lights that where damaged during shipping so he didnt have any downtime.dangeris i sent him his lights months ago didnt put the glass on or the upper piece as he wanted to do it himself, hence there wasnt any protection from the shrouds getting knocked around in shipping, i dont have any control if a shroud pops off or anything, he told me when he got the lights that they looked great and he would let me know once he sealed them back up. months went by i didnt hear anything and just saw pictures pop up of them. i cant control what happens in shipping where the majority of damage occurs at customs, something lightwerkz doesnt have to deal with since 99% of there customers are in the united states.

if anyone recieves there lights and has issues please contact me its as simple as that, unlike half the people on here that get them and something gets damaged then they tell me everything is perfect but i find out theres a thread trashing me behind my back. no wonder i have a bad rap on here no one speaks up when i ask them theyd rather just make a thread and start something.

the groupbuy is almost done, it would have been done sooner but i had 2 people (wont mention names) that decided to keep my cores which screwed everything up.

Give Caesar what is Caesar's.

Communication : impeccable. Brandon loves his Iphone and promptly replies to my inquiries. Delivery : on time. Difficulty : medium, as my product was easy to configure.Overall look : good. This is the picture of the projectors when they were on the car.

Overall quality : unreliable, BUT Brandon is still helping me and I thank him for his time. Looking forward to get them back, hopefully projector housing won't bounce anymore and the lights will be from a 3.5. Small issues - they can be resolved.

So far, I recommend him for Impeccable customer service.

ok but in a year from now when your shroud breaks is it covered or one of you projectors die or the angel eyes blow.....will he fix them YOU GUYS PAID ABOUT A G for these seriusly they should be phuckin perfect i dont get it. SOOOOO many people are "selling" there spot and dont tell me it doesnt have to do with the s***ty work. Ive seen what a clean seal looks like and what it doesnt lok like. And no offense but brandons were horrible take a knife to that s*** after i mean come on there paying you a ton of money DO IT RIGHT. And you should expect s***ty shipping it always happens but write fragile and send it a diff way maybe shipping isnt good if you send it ground send it air and itll come faster and with less problems

[brandonbeeb]

ok guys i just posted this in another thread. im tired of arguing over the same crap thats been going on. if a person who has my lights has an issue they should call me and see what can be done before starting a whole band wagon gang up on brandon. shipping cant be controlled for the 400000th time. fragile makes it worse, weve tried different companies, tried ground and tried air it doesnt make a different.

if you dont like my work and dont have my lights then keep your opinion to yourself. if you have my lights and arnt happy email me ive offered to pay for them back to me, offered to send out spare lights so yours dont have to be worked on. if they break in a year there warrantied. hid kits i sell are lifetime warranty. im not going anywhere if something goes wrong ive always been here. im doing posting in this forum and trying to defend myself its getting old. if you dont like my lights then thats cool. go to lightwerkz. if your in the groupbuy and havnt got your lights and dont trust it sell your spot ill even help you sell it, doesnt even have to be to an altima ill sell it to a subaru guy. like it doesnt matter to me whos lights they are its just the parts need to be transfered to someone.

last time im done defending anything you have my email if you have a concern with a light issue. just dont get them and tell me your happy with them and then 3 months down the road start a thread saying there s*** when 3 months ago you said you loved them. its amazing how people cant tell you straight up what they think and would rather be miserable with a product and bash someone on the internet then tell me straight up if they had an issue and let me resolve it so overall there happy in the end.

im tired of this especially some of the characters on here who just jump on the bandwagon and arnt even part of the groupbuy, the best one is i saw surmans lights at carlisle and brandons work is crap. oh wait those whernt even is real lights they where a spare set i sent him while i worked on his real ones.( a spare set that was damaged in shipping), im done guys if you have an issue email me instead of this 12 year old forum stuff. dont want to refer me thats fine go to lightwerkz or someone else. this doesnt mean i wont be finishing the groupbuy, because i am im working on a persons lights right now.
