hey JnC (i already shipped the stuff to you) - but i was wondering could you explain how the "demon"/angel eyes work? I opened the box fom umnitza and i understand the lit ring get's tapped into a power source. But will the rings only light up when the HID is activated?

I saw alot of pics with the angel eyes and I'm trying to understand how some ppl have the rings lit with none of the DRLs or HIDs on, but then some pics only have the rings on when the HID is on.



- btw i love the 1 ring per side look...looks so evil!!

^^ Well the wires from the ring get hooked to the CCFL ballasts, you can see them in the above pictures, then you get the power to the ballast tapped into either the low beam or the parking lights indicator .

I PM'd JnC but haven't heard back from him... probably busy doing headlights!

Can someone show me the difference between cleared headlights and cleared/blacked out headlights? I've been looking at all the pictures and I can't tell.

Thanks

Sorry for the delay, here is a pictorial showing the different options.

Completly Cleared



Partially blacked out version 1, in this case the fog light opening is left chrome where as the turn signal is painted completely black.



Partially blacked out version 2, in this case the fog light opening is left untouched, the turn signal is partially painted, the reflective surface is left chrome and the rest of is painted black. This version is the more common one that I have been doing.

04-05 headlights





color matched version 2




07-08 headlights



Partially blacked out version 3, everything is painted black except the fog light opening.

I definitely like these the most. Another question, at night, if you turn on your low beams AND the angel eyes, can you tell the difference? I'd love to drive around with HID fogs and angel eyes but I don't have any fogs!

Is this list for trade-ins or the pecking order for everybody? Also, if I sent these overnight and gave you the money to overnight back, could I get these back in 2 days from your receipt? I'll probably be taking 3 days off sometime in the semi- near future, and could live without my headlights for that long.

Trade-in is open to everyone, I can do a set the same day I get the headlights and have it shipped the very next day (glue has to set overnight).

I have sent a few emails about this and responded in this thread, but never get a response. Thanks.

^^ Sorry bud, I have been getting tons of PMs and its kind of hard to keep track of everything. At the moment I do not have any Type S headlights for the trade in program so most likely you'd have to send yours in for painting/clearing.

Hey no problem. I am sure you have been busy. These are my everyday lights, unless the lady goes out for a week and I can drive the SUV.

Only other way to do it, would be to buy another set of headlights, have you do the job, and then sell the extra set once I got the other set cleared. Wonder if I could buy a set pretty cheap?

JnC do you happen to know if S2k lenses will fit 07-08 projector housings? I've got a pair retro-fitted into my Accord, but i'm going to be buying an 07-08 TL-S soon and was wondering if they would work and how well they would work compared to the ZKW lenses.

-- Your turn is up.
-- I'll send you a PM, asking your address, contact info and what you want done to your headlights.
-- I work on a set of headlights I have and modify them to your specifications.
-- I finish the headlights and provide pictures, at this point you send over $400 as deposit.
-- I ship the headlights to you.
-- You install them and send your old stock headlights back to me.
-- Once I recieve the headlights back from you I'll issue a refund.
-- Refund = Deposit - labor - shipping charge - trade in charge

JnC--you can take me off the trade-in program----unless you happen to have a set of o4-o5 CANADIAN headlights. Otherwise... the trade-in program will be useless for me as we use different bulbs.
That being said.. I'd probably have to send you my headlights in the future.

You dont have to do any shaving etc to the lenses or the projectors but spacing is required. Spacing varies from lens to lens, 25+ feet testing to achieve best combination of color and sharpness is required.
