Yea I am in the same boat. I'd much rather just install the rings and save everyone the headache of down time. I even have a guy that is willing to do mine for free just so he can prototype his kit on my 05 headlights but it is going to take him about 10 days and I do not have that kind of time heck even 2 days is too long.

Thanks.... Does he mean just a day to make a kit if he has a light assy? I am curious why the mold... I do not want to get into intellectual propety rights here but I have seen thes things and they just clip on.

I had a set on my Lincoln LS did the install myself so the only measurement I see that needs to be made is the diameter of the halo and the clips. Maye he needs the light to make a good set of clips.

The driver, aka inverters, can be bought for 15 to 20 bux the big problem Ihave is finding where the darned ringscome in from. I am sure it is an asian supplier and I have tried searching google till my eye bled bt I be damned if I can find who is manufacturing these bloody things.

 

ok can we see some pictures of these on a g coupe? before we have to actually buy? i had these on my m3 before i sold it for a g coupe. and i want another set but just don't know how it'll look. 199 seems like a great price since back in the day these lights were going for 300 a set but somehow dropped to 125-179 a set.

are you also the guy that used to retrofit projectors clear and blackout headlights?

 

if i can install them i am good to go - cant have a daily driver with no headlights! great work!

 

Guys,

Justin is out of the office until Nov 5th. I will try to install the kit and take pictures for you by next week, so those that are in denial can finally make a decision!

Thanks,

Yes, you can install these yourself. Having us do the install is just an option if you do not want to do it on your own.

I did get word that the rings have been shipped and will arrive at the new shop in New Orleans tomorrow.

Like gee said, I am out of town right now but as soon as I get in pics will be posted by me and gee.

 

so these rings will have an independent switch to turn off/on, or must they be connected to the headlights or parking lights?

 

Most convinient way is to tap into your side marker's wires. That way they can come on along with the parking lights (side markers, amber and clearance strip) or when all the headlights are on, they will be on too. However, you can intercept the power line AFTER the tap point (on the way to the halos) and run a wire from your firewall, and have a toggle switch inside your interior.

 

sounds like you know what to do. . want to help me install them =) . im from so cal

 

Yep, he is going to be offering "Drive Through" installation service for you SoCal customers

 

Hey, Im from Vegas. It would be no problem for me to run down there to have them installed also..

How long do you expect the installation time to be?

When the lights are reassembled will they still be dust/air/water tight? I had a seal go bad on my Toyota and the light filled with condensation.

 

I can apply an extra automotive silicon seal to guarantee against any leaks or condensation. For local people, they drop it off on a saturday and pick it up on Sunday late after noon. For you, I would have to work on it and it would probably take about 5+ hours. So if you know anyone you can hang out with in SoCal or even crash the night, that would help. Make a trip out of it...bring someone and get a hotel Visit the Sunset strip, Bev Hills, etc...Lots to do out here.

For all interested on having them installed, I will only start taking appointments for Saturdays when and ONLY when kits are in your hands. I can't reserve appointments before hand for the obvious reasons. I will only be doing these during the weekends because it's a bit time consuming for me to do with my business during the week.

For those who have already PMed me, I thank you very much and stay in touch!

 

Ok, here are the pics of the final version kits:
I will take better pics with a tripod but I just wanted to post these for now:

 

Is it the camera angle that makes it look like the unlit portion of the ring in the top 2 pics thats bigger than the ones in the bottom?

How big is the unlit portion of the ring and can I control where it appears Top, bottom, etc?
