The wait for aftermarket projectors ends now!

[domdada]

Excellent, I'll be waiting for the word from you when to send in my headlamps to get this rollin.

[LegendRacer]

why is there only 1 circle light thing (halo? angel? forgive me) on each set of headlights?

I was hoping there would be 2 like the Bimmers... One halo doesnt look as crazy as 2... im a 4 eyes...and i think my car should have 4 too haha

but i love the look when the head lights are off tho...

[mcheddadi]

hmmmm, I was feeling these until I saw the light pattern... looks like you're loosing light exposure in the center of the road.... I'm not feeling these regarding light output at all ... BIG let down for me!

serisouly?

we are in the prototyping phase

[bina12834]

for the projectors its best for me to get them as i can get better prices on them and know which ones will work in your car. also you can get low beam only thats not a problem, its all about preference and your lighting needs.

L.e.d turn signals should be in anytime this week

so if we wanted you to use TSX projectors for the lows and just keep the original high beams, you would do that?

[rjdmmfl1]

Pretty harsh comments considering there not done yet and will be fixed by the end of the week

On the contrary, while I'm a fan of what you've done, I was disappointed in the light pattern... I don't have the patience to read through 9 pages and 300+ posts and catch every line... I saw the pictures but didn't read the caption... spockrock clearly stated that the beam pattern was off and you'd be fixing this... I just assumed that, of all things, this would have been the first thing done when installing the projectors as it makes for VERY unsafe driving conditions for spockrock and oncoming passengers... but I see you guys were in a crunch and will be fixing these in the future.. looking forward to the final product...

serisouly?

[maxentropy]

I felt the same way doc. You're not alone...

But these are in protoype phase so I have confidence we'll get it perfect eventually.

Waiting to see those sequantial turn LEDs and demon eyes...

[racingtiger03]

I know they are not properly adjusted but the light output doesn't look wide enough, hopefully that's not the case when all is said and done.

Hmm.. it does look like something is blocking the light on the far left and far right. That doesnt leave much going off to the side of the road at all. Not safe for little back roads for sure ... i suppose it may have something to do with how it is aimed right now.

Can't wait to see the final product, and Im definately in line for this with demon eyes and led signals! (depending on the final light pattern of course! ).. hopefully this is done before the 31st so I can decide on new lights or the stillen lip and spoiler and skirts while they are on sale lol.

I am not doing sequential turn signals I will have an LED strip but it will only be for the parking lights.

to go with tsx projectors is not a problem, i would have to get the measurements on them to see if they would fit. there a bit more money as there considered one of the better projectors like the s2000 which can usually sell for a bit more money.

spock wants to do led in the original amber spot not sequential signals. that is something that can always be wired up later with the lights still in the car. the main thing this week when i get the lights back is i want to do a test fit with a few projectors i have sitting here that i didnt have time to do last time. Why i have them here ill also be checking the beam patterns before the lights go back to make sure everything is perfect.

As they say, beggers can't be choosers! Looking forward to see further progress on your prototype lights spock!

can you get a quote on a total price for using the TSX projectors just for the lows? because i know thats what a bunch of people want.

[brandonbeeb]

honestly dont know why alot of people want them, lexus projectors are half the price and are just as good. tsx are sometimes over rated for the price. cant really touch the projector for under 200 that doesnt include shipping or dutie charges.

[domdada]

Are the projectors new or used...because I have searched ebay and have found both tsx and lexus projectors for under $200. It really doesn't matter to me if they are the acura or lexus projectors...as long as they are for single beam.

[brandonbeeb]

all projectors are used, they come from oem headlights. the ones on ebay are usually one at a time buys and the prices vary, shipping needs to be factored in, duty charges as well. to doa group buy none of my suppliers will do tsx at a group buy since there harder to come by. the bmw is one of the better low beam only projectors due to its smaller bowl in the projector. also i have 3inch lens s4 projectors which should fit as well and there low beam only with a very nice beam pattern

[domdada]

s4....bwm....whatever it maybe.....whatever you can do to make this work.

[spockrock]

Ok I spoke to Brandon, and spoke to the guys doing the y-pipe, I wont get the car back till friday, so that means the headlights are going back to Brandon on Friday, so we are looking at late next week to finish everything up.

[brandonbeeb]

just did some research on the tsx, there to wide of projector for the altima it looks like they would be to fat on the mounting points to get them to sit flat as there wider then the fx and even those where a tight fit

ok well, it doesnt matter to me.....ive just heard the TSX projectors are second best to teh S2000's......the FX's sound fine to me just as long as we get a good spread and cut-off!!

In Illinois (pretty sure this holds for the rest of the US), blue is illegal unless you're driving an emergency vehicle. I got pulled over for it (I had white lights that had a slightly blue hue to them and the cop gave me a warning for it). I would image you should try to stay away from blue/purple or anything that can be construed as blue. White might be ok, but sticking with an amber/yellow would probably be your best bet. Guess it probably depends on the mood of the cop that sees it.

I've got blue turn signals in my car. So far haven't been pulled over yet. Have had them in for about 3 months now. I drive in palatine, mount prospect, arlington heights, chicago, evanston, skokie, golf (really strict cops), niles, all over pretty much. Even down to bloomington and carbondale. Nothing so far, but could be because they are turn signals and not on all the time. And yes, cops have seen them, especially when I'm in the left turn lanes with the blinker going.

[brandonbeeb]

just wondering if anyone with a stock ride height could give me the measurement in inches from the ground to the bottom corner of the headlight and the ground to the top corner of the light just so i can make something to hold the lights around that height while i aim them and then once you get the lights back they should be ready to go give or take a few adjustments based on personal preference, and passenger side should always be higher (y)

[brandonbeeb]

anyone got those measurements for me?also ive got a non hid set comming in sometime next week, low beam only set up ill get pics up of those as well when there finished

[hangtime23]

hey brandon,

I've got a stock 2.5 coupe. It looks like it's about 2 feet to the bottom corner of the headlight, and 32.5 inches to the top corner. The bottom corner I took as the inside one, and the top corner was the outer one.

[brandonbeeb]

sounds good, thank you. this thread has been quiet for a few days not sure why

[Infantry1327]

good work hangtime, i was going to do this yesterday but couldnt find my measuring tape. Brandon I am takeing my grill off tonight to throw some stuff on, so I will try and get precise measurements.

Its not that i dont trust your work hangtime, I believe you are right its just going to be alot more accurate to measure it without the bumber on. That way you don't haft to deal with the gap between the bumper and the light. I will also snap some photos and try and get a measurement to the center of the low beam.

The more accurate his rig is, the easier it will be for him to get the light positioned right.

[brandonbeeb]

sounds good, thanks guys. should have more pics up this weekend or so, have some more time with the lights so everything should be good

[Infantry1327]

It has been quite because everyone was so jacked up on this thread the first few days that now they have allready posted everything that they want to say. But as soon as you drop some new pics it will liven up.

I would also like to see the shrouds around the lights in chrome. So pretty much all the chrome that was on the stock lights would stay, and everything that was gry would be painted black. I think that the solid black ones you first did just looked a lil plain. But i know its just the proto type so I am anxiously waiting for the finished product.

[hangtime23]

hey no worries man, my measurements definitely aren't 100% accurate for that exact reason, I had to eye about where the corners lined up with my measuring tape cuz the bumper was in the way.

I got 23 1/2" to the bottom inside corner and 32" to the top outside corner

oh yeah I"m back from morocco! had a blast! now that I'm in canada again I can start posting more again

[brandonbeeb]

good to have you back.

im getting the lights back today, first things first ill get the cutoff problem sorted out and get pictures posted of that and try to get these done and finished before the end of the weekend so we can get this group buy going for you guys. angel eyes are on there way hopefully there here before the end of next week. led should be here soon. sticking with the fx projectors in here, just going to do a few mods to them to get them where i need them as spock says i can have the lights as long as i need.

p.s thanks for the measurements im going to get that rig built up today
