You have a PNP kit, no adjustments will fix you blinding people, you need a retro

It's a Hyundai, and its a passive demon eye. You paint the shields, I don't like LEDs cause they don't like heat and fail with time. My painted shields won't ever fail

Update on the headlights I finished about a month ago on the car.

thank you for your kind response sir, any special type of paint for the shield? also can you touch up the projector reflector bowl? if so, what kinda paint would you use? to give it a chrome reflective finish.

future · 02-12-2015, 09:34 AM

It should have a chrome finish already, don't touch the bowls. It they are fucked they are fucked

and to paint the shields go with high temp paint. Auto zone has a ton of engine paints

I can actually see the cutoff but its pointing way up, i understand that without projecors there will be scattering but right now they are literately pointing up due to the adjuster screws, il try get a pic when i can.

EDIT:

fixed it today, the adjuster screw 'slots' into the housing, the tabs on the housing where it slots are very flimsy and had bent out of shape, seems like a bad design, anyay its sorted now:

these are nice

*tacotacotaco* · 03-31-2015, 12:13 PM

Started looking into better lighting for the pop ups. I have a set of cibie e codes coming in. Here im testing a set of jw speaker 8900. Super costly but ill be offering it to the community at a price below what it is online. Havent finished aiming them.

Ka24Power · 03-31-2015, 12:22 PM

Its really a shame projector retrofits look like shit on pop up front ends. I have a set of Cibie's coming my way soon, excited to see how they perform.

*tacotacotaco* · 03-31-2015, 12:38 PM

Yeah its an LED setup. At first i was like eh wtf but then i realized that I never drive with my headlights up unless theyre on. Anyone who wants to stare at them while theyre up can be my guest.

Yellow4g63 · 03-31-2015, 04:40 PM

Had Spencer do my head lights because I have no talent and time. I did have the money to pay him tho lol. I love the way it looks on my car. The rest of the car is crappy but the head lights for right now are the best things on it. Still trying to find the time to get the aim right.

*tacotacotaco* · 03-31-2015, 04:41 PM

I need that for my kouki. Whats rough ballpark on something like that

Yellow4g63 · 03-31-2015, 04:47 PM

That's a zenki lol.

Id figure whether it be a kouki or zenki a ball park price would get me an idea.....

silviaks2nr · 03-31-2015, 05:50 PM

It really depends what parts you want to use and all aftermarket or OEM. Obviously the clear lenses add a bit too. I've done sealed beam retrofits also

Get it right: 96-98 180SX.

Today is a special day. My customer will be picking up some very special lights. Too special for this forum, honestly. Still, I will leak a few out...

All factory, relatively speaking.

OEM integrated ballasts.
OEM bulbs.
OEM bixenon projectors.
100% bolt on.
Dual LED corner lights.
All the lights plug into 1 central junction harness.

This really is as plug-and-play as it gets.

Enough publicity. Back to hiding I go.

dudermagee · 04-27-2015, 06:00 PM

So nice, I should just bite the bullet and get a setup from you already.

usdm180sx · 04-27-2015, 06:09 PM

Mike can you work with OLED's?

Kind words. I'll oblige with 2 more photos of some recent work.

People need to pay careful attention to my "more is less" philosophy. This is a factory HID-spec S15 headlight, brand new. Upgraded to dual LED configuration w/ high-output high beam bulbs. Its all plug-and-play, just like stock.

Nice setup for an S15 customer down under.
