No beam pics yet will take some tonight......they aimed lit too high got a fix it in couple of weeks

i took some cutoff pic...aimed too high....i need reopen this i can't lower this any more then this....cuz i put some tabs under the projectors to hold them up and to get wider beam....so i have take them off so the projectors can move down....here the pics

Niiice, :clap:, post some pics when they're on. Great work!

Ok the retro may work out but damn, you have so much silicon on your headlights that it could seal up 10 headlights, i've seen cleaner.

jay78 07-14-2006 03:57 PM

had hard time to close this headlights...cuz this projectors are too big and shroud is touching the front cover so had to put lot of silicon to hold it hard.....and its gone in under the hood anyway.....will have black ducktap so it don't look bad when i open the hood......

boricua_civic 07-14-2006 03:58 PM

I hope he's removing the excess of it, cause he has'nt finished the install.

mob_scene 07-14-2006 04:03 PM

Cool, I'm liking the retro

gearbox 07-14-2006 04:23 PM

who cares you wont see any silicone once its on the car. they look good. are you able to aim it with those bolt? thats the part im worried about is how to aim it.

jay78 07-14-2006 04:46 PM

i just cut those long ass screw....and yes this bolts to aim the projectors....

....gearbox this are your headlights that i bought it from u...u want them back ?JK lol

True, but as soon as that hood is opened all you see is silicone.

Get pics with them on, i'm wanting to see the beam pattern and the nice colors.

jay78 07-14-2006 05:20 PM

i didnt work that much on colors cuz of the cops.....but it does hve TSX clear lens on them...and has some color at the cutoff line....

My next project is X5 projector with angel eyes in to oem housing....

if any one want to buy TSX projector and LS430 lens let me know make a offer...

Mutha Fn FBM 85 07-14-2006 05:29 PM

once the headlighst are on the silicone wont show chill out guys. its better to be safe then sorry anyways. nice job man. post pics when theyre on

Da1lyDr1ver 07-14-2006 05:32 PM

i would advise against the black duct tape on the headlights to cover up the silicone. the heat from the sun in the summer along with the engine could cause the adhesive backing to get really messy and hard to remove the sticky stuff.

djrabbi 07-14-2006 06:00 PM

are those the LS430 ones????? wanna doo mine??? haha

jay78 07-14-2006 06:09 PM

DJ i would love to but i dont hve time dude....took me more then two months to do mine......and still dont know how cutoff gone look..hopfully i won't hve hard time to aim them .....will find out when i install them on sunday....

boricua_civic 07-14-2006 06:27 PM

damn, 2 months is a lot of time.

dp_yz713 07-14-2006 06:36 PM

nice. where do you work cuz i know thats not all yours in the background lol

5peed|2acer 07-14-2006 07:57 PM

you didnt have any of those beers before applying the silicon on did you? :p

gearbox 07-14-2006 08:03 PM

i am worried about aiming too. do you have a wall nearby at least...and i guess you'll have the bumper off and stuff too. not looking forward to that part.

jay78 07-14-2006 08:31 PM

gearbox i will do that in my garage with bumper off..

kumanan 07-14-2006 09:39 PM

i wanan get Range rover projectors, probably the nicest lights i've ever seen. Lambourghini Gallarado has a nice projector too

jay78 07-14-2006 10:00 PM

not bright and wide as LS430 or S2000

varner88 07-14-2006 10:04 PM

sell me those ill give you lots of cash lol

jay78 07-15-2006 02:28 PM

well i am working on two more retro....so never know

diskreet 07-15-2006 02:32 PM

i think the s2000 has the nicest ive seen in person. aston martin db9s are amazing too, though.
never saw a gallardo at night.

Thuener 07-15-2006 02:37 PM

why is there so much alcohol in the background

gearbox 07-15-2006 02:46 PM

my fav hid are s2k, TL, and audi because they dont glare nearly as much as the others. and they look good color wise without being too ricey like the new maxima projectors.

kumanan 07-15-2006 02:49 PM

i seen a red gallardo at night.. its like 2 stars behind you. there is some special Valeo projector that is wider then the S2000. did you guys see the Z mod on a CRX TL+S2000 retro? the guys cutoff on the wall is every rainbow color. When hes driving it does flicker purple like normal cars, you see red green yellow purple, everything.

gearbox 07-15-2006 03:08 PM

thats how my fogs are on the ground at the cutoff, even tho i have yellow in there, you can still tell. with white you could see all the colors. it just depends on shield shape and bends.

jay78 07-15-2006 03:10 PM

i seen the mirror mods on crx video ....link me the one u talking about

Spoolin 07-15-2006 03:24 PM

you got enough alcohol there buddy? :roflmao: :tup:
