So I started installing my red ccfl's/angel eyes today.everythings gone fine/easy since I have done the lights before.trying to get the rings to line up and look good is dificult.Anybody else lined this up before and can give me some pointers.easy part....oven bake 220 for 7 minuteshave'nt painted the back of the lights yet.trying to get this to line up first.This might not be where the wiring going to go but you have to temperally do something like this to try fitting it into the housing.any idea's to lining these things up?

 

MrFluffy has some competition lol

 

i wonder how they would look.

 

ok see what I did is lined the large one up where you have it

but the small one is the hard part

the large one leans back at the top and forward at the bottom

the small one is glues to the back at the top and then you haave to adjust it to match the same angle so what I did is not glue it to the back but in the middle of the round part of the light

 

I made a liitle pink mark where it should be

 

that was the only way I could also get the high beam to line up.But my bezel is painted flat black with no clear,so I really wasnt trying to glue to it cuz I didnt want it to peel off.But if thats the only way looks like I'll have to at least clear the bezels.maybe even have to repaint.You have black bezels ,any prob with them peeling the paint off.

 

:devilgrin

 

No pealing on mine

try to put as much glue on the top of it as you can to hold it securley

then just a dab of glue on the bottom

actually I used super glue on the bottom but the other glue every where else

This part is so frustrating I was freaking out when I did mine because I just wanted to see them on my car but this part took me around 2.5 hours glueing reglueing reglueing ETC but take your time it shows when you do

 

Looking forward to seeing the completed project!

 

i wanna color my housings black...but it looks like alot of damn work just to take out the lights....

 

I think theres a DIY to take them out but it not hard to take the bumper off like 5 screws and 5 clips then 5 bolts to take each headlight off

then you heat up the light and pry it apart

this was one of the first mods I did it looks sick when your done

 

Dont know if you guys are like me but,I couldnt wait to get these lit up.halo's lit fully installed in just the bezel.These look sick,super bright,and super straght.took over a hour to line up one side.

 

Whoa...very devilish...

You are going to run those to a switch so they won't be on all the time right?

Otherwise...I'm sure it would be illegal.

 

I have a extra tcs/cruise switch that will go in my dummy spot where the vsa would go.hard switch to wire.but it will be done right any non acura owners will never be able to tell it's a modded switch.

 

Ok gotcha.

Saw these on a Magnum a month ago...looked crazy!

 

i hope you did a retrofit on projectors....

 

^ any offers on the car yet?

 

Don't think that happened.

 

Retrofits FTW. I bet it's alot easier for you 2nd gens with your massive headlights. My tiny first gens has been a bitch with the shroud...

 

looks great, i dunno about the color clash with your car but very creative. i wouldnt have the guts to do this. I would have gone with like a yellowish, to try to match your gold theme better.

the switch shouldnt be too hard to wire. all you gotta do is figure out what wire connects with what.

 

These looks badass

 

i don't like this trend.... but hope you enjoy them

 

I think if I opened up my headlights (1. to actually re-seal them because of these condensation problem and 2. to do a projector retrofit) I would do this. They're really growing on me

 

they look good except I don't like their color choices

 

^What color do you think you'd go for?

 

^ white. Looks "cleaner" IMO

 

I just did white ones on a lancer they look good, very clean but they dont really have a wow factor, but that seems like what you guys are in to (the clean look) you should do them.

Im doing a custom projection light on a friends 05 grand am if it looks good I may be changing mine to a projection for high beams

 

i think white is the best

 

Here's both next to each other.They look a little differnt in the pic,but there the same.Dropped off lenses to body shop to get wet sanded and buffed.Hopefully I have them back tomorrow and installed.Then the fun part ,wiring them to my switch..

 

How do you think they turned out?

 

They came out perfect.No flaws.When you take a pic with the lights off they give off hid (type)glow.I think it's going to turn alot of heads when I flick them on.

 

Looks Good RP

 

thanks man,last pics till the unvailing.

 

Ewwwww....the suspense is killing me!

 

that's awesome

 

My blue ones turn ALOT of heads yours are going to turn even more heads garunteed ( Just hope its not the cops heads your turning).

those are definitly not angel eyes devile eyes Is alot better name for that.people say the blue one look evil

did you black out the back of the CCFL, because there going to reflect like crazy off the reflective part. just a suggestion but put the back of the light on and take a pic.

 

yea blacked out the the backs like you described to me.I'll put a pic up with the bezel sit'n on the back.since I dont have the lenses yet. havent heared from the shop yet so there not on the car yet.

 

Here's a pic with dim light,and a closer pic in a dark room.They are sitting in the housings.

 

 

wow thats nice ..... but i wouldnt put that red on my car unless im looking to get pulled over... tahts REALL NICE tho
