Carbon Legend

So finally got a little bit of a break from crazy work schedule. Put in some good time on the new Retrofit setup. will be installed by monday

Light setup consist of the following
OEM RL Projector new clean reflector bowl with Kia Clear Lens
FX-R 3.0 in DRL/High Beam
Osram CBI 66240 bulbs in both RL and FX-R Projector
Apollo 2.0 Shrouds to replace factory shrouds
Wrinkle black housings
Clear Corners
XB 100MM Halo's
4 Chip LED DRL Strip Will run amber as DRL white is Turn

The turn signal housing is not snapped in going to get a final cleaning and buff before its all sealed up.








The color Flicker... MMMMM Its Purple

Is this a new pair of headlights or its the old dual projectors u have modified ?

Carbon Legend

This is the new pair. The old pair are going to be coming out and getting a lens restoration since the lenses with my spare housing have horrible spidering issues due to florida heat and lack of UV protection. once old ones are out im going to inspect and clean them up then shoot you a PM MT lol

Yea that would be cool but you just entered a whole new game. I dont think even bat-mobile can light the road like that.

BDoggPrelude

Looks nice but I would've done white for the DRL's and amber for turn signals. Seems kind of backwards, don't you think?

Carbon Legend

Amber matches halos, also everyone has white and don't really like being like everyone else.

why did you use black, why did you use orange, why is the strip white, who is your daddy.

Because Carbon Legend... thats why.

Looks good my friend, save the Q&A for after the game people.

I can appreciate the work and originality. The craftsmanship and ingenuity is amazing. My only harp is amber over white. I always wanted to try out putting switchback LEDs in the turn signal and using white for DRL and amber for the directional. Something similar to the VW CC DRL. Can't wait to see this on the car, though.

What did you use to turn the DRL on?

Carbon Legend

yea i know i just have a pet peeve about being correct with a car. i do not mind being different with the colors. all lights are legal and are aimed properly. will be aimed properly on the vehicle no one will be blinded. some may drool over the flicker.

I use a 120V to 12V converter can supply up to 100A of 12v power. we use them in RV's they were going to throw it away because it had a damaged plug so i snatched it up. beats using spare battery

Great stuff carbon

MrKev

Looks great! cant wait to see it on the car

Carbon Legend

Should have pictures up tomm of both done. waiting for the epoxy to dry on the shrouds in light #2 then saturday will be lens restoration day.

oo7spy

I meant, how do you plan to control the DRL? Are you completely bypassing the stock signals? Will it be tied to the e-brake at all?

Carbon Legend

the DRL will be manually controlled wired to parking lights. they will glow very dim with the low voltage from our DRL system.

Looking great! I like to do things a little different also, so I like what you are doing here.

Looking forward to seeing the finished product. Nice work sir.

Carbon Legend

Got them all wrapped up and installed. well worth the work.













The Driving part of the video was from my cell phone so it didn't pick up the high beams that well. trust me they will make you think twice about flashing me

Great work!

titomang

Man that's nice. I'm really digging the amber LEDs.

05RLinOK

Awesome job! Those look bada$$! Excellent choice with the amber running lights and using the white as the turn signals. Me likey a lot.

Carbon Legend

Some DLSR pix from tonight. light fog leaving that dewy moisture look on the lights.

No lights on showing off the housings and Clear corners



Amber is is difficult with the DSLR. not as bright as this but was limited on time. brightness is about 50% of what that is.



Quad low beams.



MMMMMMMMM Look at that flicker



Clear corner


Quad low beams



RL Lows + FX-R High beam



Little bit of fog to show off the Laser Beams

Increase the aperture and the shutter speed to capture just the right amount of light for the ambers. How does the cut-off lines look on a wall ?

Dude, I recently swapped to Osram CBI too, I'm in LOVE with how bright they are. I'm using ZKW reps...but you get the idea. LOVE your setup, you're a beast.

Ironically, I ALSO recently dropped the switchbacks and all white led look...I got bored of it. I missed the amber on NBP.

Carbon Legend

its the wavelength of light that is difficult if LED's were not difficult to begin with. cutoffs are perfect as u can see on the road. they were aligned with the OEM projectors spaced over even distance from center to center of lenses

MrKev

Looks awesome and that ish is bright as hell lol

Were the clear corners made or was it a set of jdm lights that you retrofitted?

oo7spy

Carbon Legend

I made the clear corners JDM headlights are not proper since beam pattern is backwards

I'm jealous of you living where you don't need a front license plate. That makes the front end look awesome!

Chans

Beautiful setup. Im totally jealous of the matte look.

MrKev

Wow how did you make it? Any chance you can make some and sell? Haha

Carbon Legend

only a couple members seemed interested. but doubt anyone would pay $250 for clear corners. so i decided not to sell them.
