The wait for aftermarket projectors ends now!

[adidas2go]

ya, paint the orange strip for sure, and put a signal orange bulb in another spot

[mcheddadi]

alright guys i am picking up the lights tomorrow so we are good to go. im getting alot of emails about doing a dual projector, to be honest theres a few reasons why not to. first the cost with it isnt worth it, second you can do a bixenon set up if you really want projector high beams, third there isnt that much room in the altima coupe to go with 2 seperate headlights. also when we have the light apart on tuesday we are going to measure it for l.e.d strips and angel eyes incase anyone is interested, it also depends on the size of the projector if you want your angel eye to go around it. the set up where doing is going to be blacked out with a bi xenon set up, custom shroud, bulbs modified, harness to power the high beams, turn signal in the old high beam and well try to keep it as stock looking as possible.

I can't wait, for that , bi-xenon is the sex

[RobPaulson]

so i read through these pages real quick, but what is the final verdict here?

it looks like a few people found someone who can retrofit projectors into the current housings?

thats great and all . . . but what about the people who cant remove thier headlights and ship them out, my AC is an every day driver and i cant go without lights for more than a 24 hour period.

mcheddadi was there any more word on mass production of a projector headlamp setup? i have not receive any further updates from my contacts =/

Well, I didn't receive anymore words on that, but we still managed to get 41 people to sign in on the pool for eventual mass produced headlights. http://forums.altimas.org/zerothread/359469

but for now Brandon's our man, we are just waiting to see the prototypes before starting anything.

You could always try to find a replacement set of housings. If Brandon can end up retrofitting the non-HID OEM housings, you can find those brand new for under $500/pair (I know this isn't ideal, but it is an option). Also, try to find some from a scrap car being sold for parts. That might actually be your best bet. Plus, having the projectors as separate housings would allow you to sell them independent of your car when you move to your next vehicle (which should help recover some of the cost).

[brandonbeeb]

where actually measuring the prototype when we get it today to see what size of l.e.d strips we can put in for a signal and it will be an option if you choose to go with it when we do your lights. so basically eveything you guys want we will get it all measured out and get some pics up in the next day or so with some final info. the headlights where doing today are a bi xenon set up but once we get everything measured we can order angel eyes, led strips and where planning on putting them in at a later day but this is to give you guys an idea of what the projector set up will look like and it will show people that these lights can be worked on. after that we can get deposits together

[brandonbeeb]

just wanted to say thank you to those of you who have sent deposits in and well be getting everything sorted out for you and ordered.

[brandonbeeb]

just want everyone to know the wait is almost over, as the first pair of lights has arrived and will get started up first thing tomorrow morning, ill post updates throughout the day for you guys

[spockrock]

Just to give everyone an update, currently all I will be getting is bi-xenon projectors, the demon eyes and LED strips will go on after. Brandon would like to order all the demon/angel eyes and LED strips after all the orders are in. After that he will take my lights again and add them. This will also gives me just enough time to take my car back in for further y-pipe prototyping.

[brandonbeeb]

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

[brandonbeeb]

looks like we need to register as a vendor now according to the mod so if i get booted off for the time being its not because i left, just want everyone to know

[adidas2go]

You wont get booted Brandon, check your email

[brandonbeeb]

sounds good, i sent him 2 emails waiting to hear back from him.just placed an order for 2 sets of amber flexible l.e.d strips to use for a test fitting. there about 2.4 inches in length and will go where the amber is currently located. adding these to the lights shouldnt add more then 20 to each total so for 420 you get projectors and amber l.e.d strips. tomorrow where going to be measuring for angel eyes

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 .

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]

ill keep you guys updated throught the day.

[spockrock]

LOL I cannot wait for an update, so excited I might throw up.

[brandonbeeb]

here we go with a few teaser pics. Hope this will changes peoples minds that said we couldnt get these lights apart

[brandonbeeb]

[AppleBonker]

Sweet. Keep it coming!

[spockrock]

SEX!!!!

[Shift_Altima]

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?

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.

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

Hi Brandon,

I know we will need to re-open my headlights when the demon eyes and led strips need to be added, will you be sealing with the same rubber butyl compound or will it be resealed with the compound that is preferred for baking but accomplished the same seal?

[mcheddadi]

yeah, many had difficulty to open them, so how did you do it?

goodjob btw on opening them

[GryStrm]

fyi...i have the 3.5 non xenon (halogen) housing...and the hard sealant is the same..my break apart in my retro was the same tho...baking did very little...all it really did was give the other parts a lil play so they wouldnt snap when prying the parts open....with mine i decided to redo the housing interior and vacuform a new bezel setup...as well as use projectors for the high beam...for a more unified look..even tho i am running bixenon in the low...i cant wait to see your retrofit!...

[mpbclutch33]

Me either.... Keep the pics coming.

[brandonbeeb]

every headlight that we retro we reseal it with silicone just incase theres any leaks or we feel that something needs to be adjusted so we can put it back in the oven for faster access. first headlight took about 2 hours to get apart the second one tok half hour, learned a few things after the first one lol. im uploading some new pics in a sec hopefully you guys like
