very nice, im jealous!

 

Looks incredible! I am subscribing so i can check this thread more often. I want to try and do this, i have an extra set of lights laying around, and i need a project. Any tips?

 

Thanks. I started doing this since Calvin was complaining that I post single psots too much and he started merging all of my posts.

I could've sworn these were clear, maybe i just can't tell the difference. Oh well they work.

actually i don't think it is possible to adjust the rotation of the horizontal cutoff line without opening the headlights. The only way to adjust it is to mess with the sheilds. The 3 bolts only allow for left/right and up/down.

yea you should come out again Dustin!


I'm still debating. It was my first headlight mod, so its far from perfect. There is some burnt/chipped paint due to the how i mounted the lens in the blinker area and the inside lens is scratched on the passenger side (Noob mistake). I'll have to fix all of that before i do sell it.


PM'ed.

Be very patient. Feel free to PM me with any questions. IvoryGT and Redlude97 are also great references for projector retrofit.


Everyone else, thanks for the comments.

 

Maybe my wording was unclear, FX lenses are either clear(mostly) or frosted, none were ever fresnel like the g35 lenses with the rings in them. Yours could very easily be clear, and from the looks of it, they are.

I wasn't referring to the rotational adjustment I know that isn't adjustable without opening the headlights, I was talking about the left to right adjustment. I think your driver's side headlight is pointed too far to the left. The steps appear to be too far apart at that distance. An easy way to check if the lights are pointed directly ahead is to drive towards a wall with the projectors on, and see if the cutoff steps move close together or not

 

Pictures of cutoffs on the wall as promised.

Question for the lighting guru's, if you look at the pictures with the the fogs and headlights, you'll notice that the fog are a lot bright than the headlights. at first i thought the bulbs were bad. So i switch the bulbs from the fog to the headlights and i still get the same results. So that leads me to either the ballast for the headlights are bad or the lens aren't really that great. The ballast on both headlights are my original ones and the ones on the fogs are extra ones i bought. Do you guys think it could be the ballast? or lens? or something else?

 

Did you mess with the cut off shield's on either set of projectors

 

Damn Anh, you've been busy!! Very nice-looks great!!

 

the fogs appear brighter because the light from the lowbeams are stacking on top of the foglight output, making it appear brighter. If you turn off your fogs you'll see what I'm talking about. The top projectors look pretty well aim althoughI think they are still too far apart, but that bottom driver's side projector is severly rotated

 

BUMP...cuz IvoryGT and WRAH did it.

And also some updates.

Decided to fix the messed up cutoff on the fog lights and repaint the shroud yet again. No pictures of the new cutoff, but it's much better now. Trust me.

New pictures of the shroud. Hai, I decided to take your advice and paint the shroud to show the projectors more.

I'm not good at color matching, but its good enough for me.

 

nice work, the shrouds look much better now and people can see the work you did!

 

i really like the lights and your car. Good job.

 

How did you secure the projector lens in the turn signal housing?

 

Anh, those look awesome!

I can't wait to see them at the next GTG.

 

Wow! that looks freaking sweet!

much much better, on the new paint job plus the shrouds.

 

looking good.
