Hey guys i have been working hard all day yesterday almost 10 hours total work time inlcuding time for return of some items and returning the fricking dremel. the dremel is another story, mike knows, but i had a dremel siezed up on me when i tried to make my own trim rings for the projectors and the damn bit would not come out, well i took it back to HD and told them it had a manufacture defect, and in fact it did cause i called dremel on it but they in return gave me the prced one when i bought it which was the cordless one, i took it home and the damn thing i charged for 4 hours and i did all the prep work and take apart the housings while the thing was charging but anyways the fucking thing only lasted 20 mins of dremel time so i took it back and told them i wanted the one like i had and that this one basically sucked balls, and i got a new one FREE OF CHARGE!!!

well after configuring the projectors to the housings luckyly i called mike and checked with him but i had it configure so that the cut off plate was on top and it was supposed to be on the bottom so i tossed me back about an extra 2 hours that could be why it took me so long but anyways i have finished the driver side and it looks sweet, the only thing i wish i could have found the permatex black sealant, all i could find was the red one for gaskets but it works fine supposedly according to mike, you can see the red sealant but i took a lot of it off, but i need to go around and scrap the remainder off but you cant see anything unless you look hard at it with the hood open so red is ok and if they do look i can say it matches my engine

but anyways here are some pics of the driver side, i have to go to work now but i will take some pics tonight when im driving of the difference compared to the AM Xenon bulb i have on the right side. i would say this is the best money ever spent cause my oem projector and halogen bulb are brighter than my aftermarket xenon cheapo bulb

heres the pics:

 

looks great, is tehre any way to mount the projectors further back in the housing? or is there just no room.

 

you can but on the 3.0 there is hardly any room on the passenger side so i did the driver side first. but you have enough room the projector sits about a inch from the clear lense maybe a little less but it looks nice all i need now is a full trim piece covering my mounts but its ok for me and its satisfies my needs

it looks nice the aiming part was time comsuming and hard cause with my set up you need to have it just right

but i love the look of a projector, it looks mean and today i got a commment from a teg that noticed my 2 different lights but its nice and i like the look, hopefully by sunday maybe monday night i can have the other side done thats if the weather outside stays nice

 

niiice. what kind of projectors are they?

im gettin mine done soon by Mike too, be on the lookout...heh. oh yeah, nice red sealant too haha j/p!

 

Damnit! now i gotta get projectors

 

i did it like this

 

red99: the bad thing about putting them that far back is the light containment, how did you contain the light?


my ring contains all my light, for the most of it, do you still want a set of trim rings? let me know pm me or aol im @ jgiguere17

i was going to do that but the amount of space i had on the passenger side for the 3.0 was not much, i thikn it is less space than the 2.2 and 2.3, but it looks sweet

BTW where did you make the step up align at? i mena my step up is center according to the projector and i tilted it down to prevent on comers from the high beam and blindness but i mean where did you make them meet at? cause the projectors spead the light so well i am totally please i am thinking of upgrading already to the bixenon ones ill get a hold of ya mike

but let me know how you aligned your and if you have a pic of the light against the wall so i can see the step up it would be helpful

 

hey wat kind of projectors are those ....nice job on them..i want some too

 

they are the jaguar x series projectors

they only down fall of these is that they are not can not be seperated like some of the bi and reg xenon projectors

i am thiking of upgradinga nd if i do these might be for sale

i love the light output i want the hella projectors, i think they would look even better than these do

 

Nice work, but you didnt have to go so crazy with the red sealant. Is that high temp HVAC sealant? I didn't even use any new sealant and mine are water tight. The hardest part is sealing the holes that you cut for fitment.

 

i know i shouldnt have gone so far on the sealant but i wanted to make sure that i sealed it up all right, the rear of the projector i still have to put back on the rubber grommet that is the stock grommet to help contain the light too

 

i tell u one thing. ur wont have any moisture problems with that much sealant. i want to see them in the car!!!! joey i will prob be out all of sunday. i think im going to the long island car meet. im not sure becuase for some reason one of my eyes is swollen. WTF! u only need like a 1/8" bead of sealant in the groove.

anybody want a pair of vw bug h1 projectors? similar to audi tt if u ever decide to change them. i sell for $40 shipped!

 

Ha, this reminds me- At work on Friday I did the front end of a '00 Caddy STS, and the headlight was busted, so I wanted the projector from it, for my HLs .I was all excited about an STS/CL projector swap, but then I finally got it out, and it was like a fuggin' football, it's about as big as 1/2 the entire HL lens on our cars. poor show.

VXCL- What do you think $hipping to Canada would run?

 

not much $10 i think, i shipped some ballasts to ontario b4. i have to look att eh reciepts.

 

New Pics Outdoors
just for ya Mike I love the mean look

Projector VS Aftermarket Xenon

 

Just get rid of the piss yellow and you'll be lookin good.

 

yellow is ok for now until i get my piaas sometime soon

 

97Acura3.0CL, what did you use for the trim ring. Where can I find these? Thanks.

 

the lights look good. but damn son....ever heard of this thing called a car wash???

haha....wow....i dont think i could ever let my CL get that dirty

 

Brotha man, the lights look good. Get those bugs off!!

 

my trim ring idea is a secret cause i will be trying to make more to sell them to others that want to do this was well but im trying to find the ones that are a little bigger than these but i like these though, but i had them professionally machined and fitted to the projectors, if anyone else wants a pair PM me and we can work something out

 

i drive a 1/2 hour every night to work in the middle of no where in the central valley of california near patterson and all the bugs seem to come out at night, i havent washed it since my window does not work and i am doing mods to it, but once im done ill get her nice and shiny and im thinking of doing this new thing called KrystalClear, they do a professional job on cars and show room qual.

 

thanks man for the compliment, i cant wait till i finsih them both and put in the shroud for the trim, im thinking of making a custom metal guard to contain the light more to go behind the projector, but it will look sweet

the bugs love the car, and i will get it washed as soon as im done modding the car out

 

what kinda projector did u use?

 

jaguar projector

 

jaguar x series projectors from the new 2003 jag according to Mike

 

where can i get a pair of projectors like that?

 

haha yeah, i feel ya on that one...just bringing the problem to your attention....but the projectors do look sweet!!

is that a good buy?

 

hmm 115 thne you would still have to get the bulbs and ballasts n stuff.. they look sweet, nothing can touch those bmw projectors

 

i already bought an hid kit- d2r rebased 9006 bulbs and ballasts. i am going to run those for now. when i buy the projectors, i am going to switch to d2s bulbs and sell the d2r's when i put in the projectors.
