talked to rich at custom lights,for the first person he said around

1 week turnaround time.

and it will cost about 7 8 hundred, if he supplies the hid kit and about 5 to 6 hundred if you supply it.

and the design and cost is pretty much up to how you want it to look and perform. he uses tsx low beam projectors or fx35 bi-xenon projectors.

it's a "prototype" from another car

it just to give an idea to CustomLightz (or anyone else we find) so that they can make something hot

i want TSX projectors so bad!!!!! and i love that people are starting to "prototype" for us, but i just think that these are too "busy." theres too much going on in the housing and there is too many different colors in there. personally i like this one.



or this one



but for the sedan of course!!!!

lol it doesn't have to have all those colors, you can shurely choose the color you want.

here's two more designs (both can be clear or flatblack btw):First has clear amber strip and the second has ironman style for the amberstrip

This one would be perfect man....but without the LED's and replace them with a clear amber strip. (Mcheddadi could you photoshop this one)

Also this kinda looks simple so maybe more companies will be willing to make it since its simple. Make it easier for the people thats gonna be making it for us. Good job on setting this thing up mchedaddi.

i like the clear amber strip rather than the "Iornman" style

will these actually fit an altima, or are they for another car?

im not going to heavily mod my car, so i just want something simple and stock looking.....nothing too fancy or flashy.....like i wouldnt mind the enclosures that we have now, just with projectors

yeah thats the point lol, to make them fit

but the ones in the pics are just to give a general idea to the companies that will make them for us if we ever find some. They are from another car btw.

thats why you should try to contact some of the one listed or find new ones

I emailed this company too; they made projectors for the 02-04 altima that looked great and weren't too $$$. Check them out: http://www.k2motor.com/4lhp-alt02jm-ks.html

nice! but I think that they get their lights from spec-D or from the same place spec-D does ( http://www.specdtuning.com/altima2.html ). but it's still good because we'll get their source

Id be willing to send in my headlights for the test, especially for a design of the ironman style dual halo projector housing. I think those look sick

sorry for the question ...i've been meaning to put some hids in my headlights but with the projectors, will i even need hids? or projectors are basically better? also, if they are to be massed produce, you buy em as a whole piece right? meaning the housing...and how would be the installation for this? is it by removing the bumper, or what? thx

Thanks. If Specdtuning were to do it I could possibly lend them my car for it, they're about 30 miles away from me.

mcheddadi hows about making a poll man. That way you can show them how many people are interested and if we get a lot of people, then they might bite. Who doesnt want more money right?

My vote goes to these (I'm not a big fan of the LED's or busyness of the others):

my favorite is this one



the other ones arnt just too busy but am i the only one that thinks they look weird? like i mean, we all like "smoked" lights but these ones are a black that just looks like black plastic that sticks out too much. i want smoked lights but i want a OEM look to them at the same time. these other lights look like cheap lights made in china that you would see on a ricer civic. they don't have that OEM look like this one
