Alright fellas..... I have everything installed and aligned. Dont mean to boast, but it looks really good! Seriously replicates OEM.

I will post pics and definitely a write up, for all you DIYer's. I am going to shoot for Wednesday to have everything posted. With working and school full-time it may take another couple of days. But I really appreciate you guys patience.

Thanks! It's a rare opportunity- not many 2nd gen Cl-er's undertake these kind of mods.

Here are some teaser pics...... Guys Im sorry I am not on top of it as you all would like, I have finals, work full time and have a nagging g/f.

I also started with 8000k d2s bulbs but they didnt look good and didnt beam as far. So I swapped them w/ 6000k philips bulbs and they are sweet

Pics are from my IPhone so there crap it's also pollen season so the headlights are dirty as well as the car. I have a great digital camera that I'll use to take the remainder, these are teaser pics. Hope you like.

DIY to come...

take pictures w/ the car 25ft away to get an accurate cut off, i don't see anything lol, tripod pix please, or even day time pictures...

underst8

damn son - either those angel eyes overloaded your iphone's ccd or you don't even need the projectors lol. Are you still running with the marker light where the LEDs are?

Nice going, but tell the nagging g/f to shut it for an hour and take some real pics (daytime/lights off too)!

Echo42987

what size are the angel eyes that you ordered from that company I think I might try this out as well.

You are right 25 ft is also the length you need for aiming the projectors. The cut off. Looks like shit and isn't an accurate portrayal since the pix are from a phone.

I just wanted to get you all pics to make sure wasn't bs. This weekend I am free an will post tons of pix tomorrow.

What is that display below the speedo, and why aren't the revs on it the same as the tach?

TCM 01 CL-S

It looks like an Apexi VAFC II. The tach from what I've read is known not to be so accurate, while the reading from the air/fuel control is most accurate. I know my tach reads about 150 rpms higher than what my Apexi Neo has on it.

you should have used the reflectors to mount those leds, i was thinking of that 3 months ago when i cleared my headlights...

Here are a couple more pics.... It is pollen season so I am waiting to wetsand, wash and wax then I will post more pics and DIY.

iTrader: (1)

Yeah.... I def. agree with you. I tossed them out when I did the initial black housing and wish I would have kept them. They would have made the amber pop a little more. I emailed a couple members on here to see if they had theres left over but no luck. Oh well.

slowcl-s

iTrader: (1)

Correct.

However, I f***ed up the LED gauge conversion and the speedo doesn't work properly. But I just got a new speedo so I am going to swap the speedo then leave it the hell alone. haha,

Here's the replacement:

teinCL

dont mean to hate, but im not super impressed unless its just poor pic quality. i do like the size of projector shroud u used though it takes up a lot of the void.

cltypeSLOW

looks decent, but for gods sake man...you could have at least whiped off the damn headlight!

LIPPSTUH

iTrader: (2)

the leds look misaligned

the projector shouldn't have been mounted that close to the side, it is supposed to be in the middle of where the oem bulb used to be
but it's decent no doubt

slowcl-s

iTrader: (1)

Yeah your right on the alignment issues, I hadn't even noticed, then again I was somewhat rushed in the assembly process since I had to have them when I was driving so I only had a weekend to do everything.

My number one recommendation to anyone retrofitting their headlights to buy a whole other pair of headlights. The reason being is that you will not be in a rush because it is a timely and tedious process, you can also make sure everything is perfect and if you mess up your not out a pair of headlights. I will probably end up buying some used headlights and re-retrofitting them since I made a couple of errors. I still have more critiquing to do so please everyone continue to comment good or bad there all welcome! Im not a perfectionist. And I will be doing a DIY so I want to be as dead on as possible.

But overall, the beam is perfect the angel eyes look bright and not ricey and the leds add a decent touch. Looks a hell of a lot better than the reflective OEM housings that can be somewhat blinding to oncoming traffic.

good job

AcuredCLS

ill give it to you thats definitly pretty talented, but it seems like theirs alot goin on in the headlight..,but ill give it to you it defintily takes a skill to do that

Thanks buddy, I appeciate the understanding. There is unfortunetly a lot going on with one lights you can see a wire or two. I thought I would get more critism than I have which is cool. DIY is being written as we speak,

PDGCLS01

So overall how much have you spent on this project on parts and supplies,tools and whatnot? How much would this cost someone if they wanted to do this?

Damn, love the look your goin for. what i'm intersted in the most is your LED tail lights. I've been looking around trying to get a good idea on how to fit mine. That's one fit i'd really like to get my hands on. Subscribed!
