The wait for aftermarket projectors ends now!

Here are some more night shots of the possible ironman style dual halo projector housing

Those look nice.....

Hello Mike, Just called our local Nissan dealership and they will be delivering a new set of Altima Coupe headlights to our shop today for me to R&D on. We can easily make a DIY CCFL or LED halo kit similar to the first picture you sent me. The projector retrofits on the other hand are not something we can make a DIY for. With our type of custom work, especially with retrofits its a low quantity, high quality type of project. We are already working on custom lights for several SEMA vehicles but if you have members that are also appearing we may be able to do something for them. I am a NICO member as well although I rarely have the chance to post. I am all over the Lexus boards but also have a Nissan (R33 GTR V-spec) in the garage. I will let you know what I come up with when I get the lights in hand! -Justin M. HartensteinAAC Enterprises LLC300 Jefferson Hwy. STE#805 New Orleans, LA 70121http://www.AACstyle.com1(800)407-5776

[mikegtr06]

AWESOME!!! Seriously, I wouldn't mind paying for quality work. All of this is great!

a projector retro fit would be awesome, I don't think it would be too hard for them since we can just remove the lower portion of the altima's headlights and replace it with two projectors side by side. I'll go look for pics for what I'm talking about

someone on the "other" forum has an independent guy in NYC working on some projector retrofits. here is the guys website with some of his work...

http://hidillusionz.blogspot.com/

here is the post about the info on the retrofit....

"so i finally spoke about prices to Richard. Like i said hes an independant guy. Companies online charge about $400+ for retrofits. Hes about to start hes own stuff online as well. now he does retrofits, sells OEM hid gear, bulbs, projectors, etc. For me he will leave same price should many people decide to do retrofits with him. He mentioned he does many many retrofits with many forums on the web. Usually he has one guy per forum that gives out his props and get customers, since he cannot be in every single forum reading and posting. He asked if i liked i can be that guy here. Hes gonna send me pics of many of his work for me to post here. So price if you send everything to him. And when i mean everything:

2 headlights2 projectors2 shrouds/bezel if u bought it somewhere else.***he sells his own shrouds/bezels if u want to buy from him to use on ur retrofit***

$320.00

prices includes all labor to open headlights, install new projectors, align new projectors, paint ur interior (usually black) since black kills glare from projectors inside your headlights, re-seal headlights, and shipping back to you, 2-3 usps priority mail. designs of ur headlights and everything else you will discuss with him as he works on ur headlights. i remember when i did my first retrofit with him i paid about $400.00 since retrofits where rare and very few people where doing it. if u interested or want information PM me. After-wards i can forward his info to you so you may get in contact with him."

[Rolling Estonian]

I'll thow my .2 in. I do not want a DIY kit, with all the troubles with baking the headlights, not interested.

If they can do a retofit job, then ok

[mcheddadi]

Since they say that they do low volume stuff, we could setup a group buy with 30 people or max 40 people , so it would still be low volume and they could get their stuff on the 2 altima coupes and the altima sedan car going to SEMA.

everybody wins, they get they massive coverage and we get our projector headlights we'd get a slight discount because of the groupbuy and super exclusivity like rob's custom kickplates.

30 or 40 does sound like a big number even if it's low in reality, but with our headlights it would be really easy to add twin projectors, check these pics out

you can separate the lens from the housing

so they just would have to separate the lower lenses and stick two projector there and make something to fill the hole around the projectors

wow thats nice too! 320 for all the labor plus everything, I AM interested tell him we got some sema coupes and altima sedans and that we could do big group buy if they are nice

I'll go update the list with customz light and Richard's hidillusionz independent company

well the 320 is basically for the labor. you provide and send him the projectors & bezels/shrouds along with the headlights. as for the bezel/shrouds....you can either buy them separately or buy from him. once youre ready you can start discussing with him if you plan to buy the bezels/shrouds somewhere else to make sure theyll fit. he has many shrouds/bezels and he even custom makes his own!!

PS.....heres a good source to buy a TSX projector kit.....shhh.....keep it quiet.

http://store.theretrofitsource...33175

it will probably come out to under $700 if you go through Richard. the guy on the "other" forum swears by him and his work as he has used Richard before.

[mcheddadi]

oh ok, I thought it was 320 all included, didn't catch you had to supply the projectors. well then a groubbuy is needed if we go with that

[mikegtr06]

Im sorry but we are a retail store not manufacture almost all for ourlighting comes over seas. You will have to find companies that make them.

MTRMarco

this is from my tight ride, so i emailed them back and asked for their supplier.

[mcheddadi]

great! if we could get the supplier and send them a headlights they could certainly massively make them for cheap

nice progress mike!

[mikegtr06]

i just want a bolt on kit, i dont want to have my lights missing for like a week.

[mcheddadi]

It wouldn't have to be you who sends the light, if they needed some, and you don't want to have to be without one for a week or two. we could collectively buy a right or left side and send it to them. or someone could even popup and volunteer for the prototyping

[spockrock]

As I have pointed out before I know a guy in the GTA who quoted me 800$ for both lights, blacked out, angel eyes with projectors and an LED strip, where the amber lights are, if some one wants custom work done.

[mcheddadi]

please could you give out his info. so if we still don't find anything we'll have the peps that do custom work

[spockrock]

please could you give out his info. so if we still don't find anything we'll have the peps that do custom work

Yep thats not a problem let me check if thats ok with him, but the original idea I had sent him was on of your PS with the led strip, single projector and angel eye.

[RobPaulson]

where do i sign?

(is this the design the companies in red are seriously considering? any ideas?)

[spockrock]

mcheddadi did you photoshop this picture??

[mcheddadi]

They are considering what we show them, so if you guys are sending the email I did in the first post, they will consider that with the other designs. Now if you guys just wait and do nothing and hope mike and bina and me do all the work, it's going to be slow and we might now succeed if the companies don't feel like there is a demand for it.

no, that's a real headlight

Hi Mike,

Unfortunately we do not have anything available for your vehicle as of yet.There should be coming down the pipes in the future however there is nothingcurrently available.

Steve

from kbcar stuff.

i emailed them back asking for the timeline, and explaining the opprounities

[mcheddadi]

nice! I'm currently in morocco in vacation so there might be little updates from me, but i'm back the 27th

[RobPaulson]

got a few replies, check em out, what do u guys think?

hello i received your email and i am working with taiwan suppliers to see what we can come up with, since this particular model is not made in asia to my knowledge, its a little hard to produce something, but i will definitely keep you updated if i could come up with something.

http://www.depoautolights.comhttp://www ... s.comseems promising i guess, def going to follow up on this one

Gerry,

I would love to provide projector headlights to you, but I would need at least 150 orders with cash deposits before the factory will make the headlights. To make headlights costs about $300,000 for tooling, design, development and quality control. I tried to do something similar a few years back with a bunch of Toyota Matrix owners, but they wouldn’t commit. Let me know if you’re interested and I can put forth an order.

Thank you.Glenn Moyershttp://www.mytightride.com

150 orders, ugh

[mikegtr06]

hey rob any updates, i havent got any.... 150 orders, that would be tough. and as long as the final product is like 350 and looks like the versa one that would be really really nice.

we should start a poll to see who is really going to buy them, so that we have actual data on who is going to get them.

[mcheddadi]

150!?! that could eventually happen, but we'd need the whole community's support. 100$ deposit times 150 would be a good 15000$

We got the biggest altima coupe forum on the net so if it even happens its going to be because of us lol.

How much exactly would be the deposit? I can make an official thread were we'd get name and deposist and ask Brian or Tyler to make it a sticky. then we'd have to get the biggest altima posters (brian, blake, rob etc.) to put a link in their sig for the thread to get massive views. It could be done

[RobPaulson]

in responded to them both today and let them know we appreciate the quick response times and will keep them informed on our situation.

I would be down with the deposit and everything but i do not want to be the one responsible for all that organization necessary to pull something like that off, my lifes a bit hectic atm.

maybe it is time to make a poll to see who would be willing to make a deposit today (today as in as soon as we get a deal with the numbers this poll gives), we need a solid number of committed buyers, i think if we have that to throw around we might get some more attention.

[mcheddadi]

oki I'll go make the pool
