Please, don't feel so high and mighty on my account. Go spend 1000.00+ on a set of headlights

Does anyone have a decent writeup on the NSX conversion? what/how much needs to be cut? Is it possible to pull off a fully functional headlight control with them?

Also any decent projector retrofit writeups? like with pictures at least?

chiboy002

narva is what i have, theyre the shit. I always get asked if i have HIDs cause "theyre so bright but not blinding" and shit.

Really nice lighting, good brightness and i never get flashed, and its a clean white light - not that yellowy/bluey shit you see.

Does good in rain too, but that might be my housings

hey, ever heard of nsxprime? go there

i love when people ask questions about work that is completely prototype. get off your ass and go try. thats what i do. i spend money on parts, try, fail, or eventually succeed.

damn people are so lazy nowadays. expecting a fucking writeup or novice guide for everything

shiftdrift

so....about those h4 bulbs.

You mentioned you had an SC earlier and was wondering which projectors you used?

I can definitely agree that the lighting is terrible

240_SeX

I'm sorry, I didn't think my question was worded "Is there anyone here who has nothing helpful to say but feels like being a dick?"

If you jump into a project without attempting to research it you sir, are an imbecile.

whiterps13

Shut up. With the vast amount of information that is available on the internet, why wouldnt you research first before you spend money and take a bunch of expensive, hard to get parts and just fuck them up for the sake of being a badass?

Numerous people have retrofitted good projectors into some type of pop-up housing (whether it is a 240sx, a Camaro, an NSX, etc.) and there actually are some good write-ups out there. Its pretty stupid to think that there is no information out there and just must destroy shit to make something work. Learn from other mistakes, save some time, money and frustration.

But if you follow a write-up, you must be a SNIP. Or something. Blah blah.

You know - theres no reason to get all angry at people for not buying what you tell them to. You do realize that these young guys dont have the money to spend and the 75 bucks is a lot to em.

They arent buying cheapo junk because they want it - they do it because they dont have money to buy those and still take that cute girl out for a cheeseburger.

I like your stuff - and you know ur lighting, BUT - you take a lot of offense for people not having the loot to spend on their 20+ year old cars.

hey did anyone do the hela h4 light housings and then like a hid kit off ebay or something? i was just wondering how they turned out

Frankly, if you don't have the money, you don't need to worry about upgrading.

If people would learn patience, and take their time with builds, they could afford the parts they want, instead of settling for something else.

Unless they are building a "missile", then they shouldn't even bother asking for advice anyway. Just slap on whatever looks cool for the track and be done.

I never said money was an issue at all, I just want to know if anyone has pulled off a functional NSX conversion and how much of the core support had to be cut out.

The NSX projectors certainly aren't cheap or easy to come by and I wasn't about to start a project if I have to hack my car all to shit for some lights that don't even function properly.

Could I have figured it out on my own, sure. But isn't that what forums are for? Learning from what other people have done and discussing it? Not having a Mr. Macho dick measuring contest.

FantasticVoyages

Not really true. An upgrade is better even if it's not the best thing. Kind of like saying don't buy a car unless you can afford the best one.

or like doing a KA-T instead of a LS9...

ixfxi

Actually, I've jumped into just about every project without a fucking "how-to-guide" off of the internet. You know those twin-ring LED tail lights? No write-up, no guide. You know those low-profile headlights? No write-up, no guide. The slim oil cooler I added to the nose of my bumper? No fucking write-up and no fucking guide.

You guys really are a bunch of pussies. And this is coming from someone who back in the day, when there WERE no forums - we used mailing lists and had to sift through hundreds of emails just talking about whether or not the Z32 calipers are possible to adapt onto our cars. Which now, you little turds have the knack to come say "oh, isnt there some guide or writeup? Hey douchebags, how about getting off your ass, locating and buying parts, and then TRYING. Cheap fucks.

You know, I didnt even install NSX headlights on my car.. and I own 2 pairs of these damn things! I own TWO PAIRS for something I thought about doing but then decided was not worth it because of the problems I foresaw. So the talk about cutting the radiator core support, thats MY advice and caution. Would you like me to write a guide? Here you go:

NSX Headlight install on S13 Popups:

Tools needed:
- Phillips Screwdriver
- Flathead screwdriver
- Duct tape
- Assembly lube
- Razor blades

Procedure:
- Shove screw drivers into your eye sockets
- Apply duct tape to mouth
- Use razor blades on wrist (down highway, not across street)
- Assembly lube... well, you know what to do with it


Maybe if you have some fabrication skills, you wont fuckup. Maybe if you hang your balls out, you wont worry so much about fucking up. I dont have the answer for you. All I can say is that if you wait for a writeup or guide for everything, you're going to end up with the most bland, stereotypical piece of shit enjuku mail order S13. Classy.


Douche. I never once said anything about buying my product. Amazing how people read things wrong. If you read what I said, is BUY HELLA at the BARE minimum. What are you going to say, that you cant afford 100 dollar headlights? You cheap bastards. Do you guys even have money for filling up gas? When I was 16 I had 100 bucks. You are in you're 33 and cant afford some entry level E-code H4 headlights? Do you even have a job?

And then you guys have the nerve to talk about upgrading to HID. Oh shit, slow down! Dont bust the bank!


They turned out great. I can tell that you've really done a lot of research.


If money isnt an issue, then shut the fuck up, buy the headlights, and see if you have the skills and a pair of brass bearings to install them - properly.

ixfxi hates his life, poor fellow. Always mad.

whiterps13

You need to get over yourself. Seriously, just because youve been in the game SO long and youre all old and crusty doesnt mean that everyone should be like you.

The internet is here, it is 2011, and old ways are no longer. Why wouldnt somebody use other's knowledge and experience to guide them on a complex process? Should doctors just blindly do surgeries and hope for the best? Should technology cease to exist unless its some radical new trial and error method that is completely a shot in the dark?

What youre suggesting is so ignorant it shocks me that youre not 16. NEVER look at a write-up. NEVER follow other people's advice. After all, other people's mistakes are worthless and their experiences that WERE successful shall never be referenced. Once we realize this, we can all be as high and mighty as yourself.

God forbid you actually tell us why you feel the NSX conversion is stupid, or whatever you think. Please, enlighten us on why it wont work (and Im actually being sincere about this) rather than just calling us retarded. I have thought about doing a projector retrofit into the pop-up mechanism, but my main concern is adapting some sort of shield or plastic housing to protect the actual projector (hense why a NSX housing would seem to be a great idea). Thank you, kind sir. I look forward to you sharing your infinate wisdom.

I never said anything about your products - except that they're nice.

I have Hella headlights - and I dont have HIDs or Blue headlights.

All I said is that you take too much offense to people not listening to you. And you took offense.

lol if you think he hates his life and is Mad? You really don't get it. Mike loves his life, is he mad? No , he is annoyed by people being cheap and wanting their hands held all the time.
Does he take it far to make a point? Yes, he does because he wants it to sink in. You guys could do yourselves a favor by taking his advice when it comes to lighting.

I have been around a long time and know a hell of a lot. When it comes to lighting, I defer to Mike. He is probably one of the Worlds Foremost Automobile lighting experts.

Mad? , No
and you don't get it.

I love any thread that ixfxi posts in that happens to also have morons in them as well. Because one of them is bound to say or do something stupid, then I get to watch ixfxi call them out. then they get mad and shit.

Edit: btw, i was talked into getting some of those cheap ebay style h4 conversion, worst thing I have done to my s13. they have a decent cut off, but have no spread at all. i had to adjust the lights outward just to have some visibility on the side. i'm gonna be getting atleast some hella h4s here soon and trash those pos ebay shits. nobody here should buy those. if your gonna be cheap, just get a set of old school headlights from autozone/advanced auto for $30.

Chaluska

Wow, first, take whatever was shoved up your ass, and pull it out.. did i say "hey check out my paint, and ride height" or that i was some lighting guru with "decades" of lighting experience.

i chose affordable HID projectors, and crammed them into h6054 housings. i have had cibies, and hellas, h4 "crystal" housings, and all of them were not as nice as projectors.

clearly you have some sort of issues that needs to be worked out. your e-cock does not make you cool in real life

EDIT:

as not to get off track from the main subject.

Any H6054 > H4 conversion headlight out there is practically better than the OEM sylvania H6054 housings.

240_SeX

ixfxi - You're acting as if someone said "I can't possibly do anything without a guide" No one ever said anything close it that. I just simply wanted to know if one existed so I could determine if it was something I wanted to do.

Also, no one has personally attacked you or any of your work. Congratz, you've made some cool shit.

I'm not lazy, I'm not a pussy, I'm not broke. Just simply doing some research.

smelly240

You have to admire how passionate he is about the lighting. A little aggressive - maybe, but at least its fun to read.

I understand, however I'm not sure what he wants. Should we all just bow down and worship him as the lighting god before he'll offer a little help?

Jesus, sell me one of the sets of damn headlights and I'll put them on my car. I'll find a way to make them work, properly. I'm just haven't been able to find shit about them. To be quite frank, there aren't many NSXs in Maine (as I'm sure you can imagine) so it's difficult to find some that are reasonably priced.

drift freaq

Bow down to him? No, respect his knowledge and opinion Yes.

He wants people to use their brain. If they would just use your brain in the first place he is happy to give advice and possibly help.

The problem is, every 3 months someone posts a thread about how do shitty cheap ass lights that look like shit.
Every single time people come out in defense of the cheap ass shit with stupid ass statements. Now I am not saying you did. Though I am saying this is a repeated problem.

Instead of you guys saying hey you know Mike is right. You all jump to defend the craptastic cheap lights because they are cheap. Oh and people in the 240 world these days tend to take the route rather than the quality.

There have been people in this thread that listened to what Mike said and did something.

There is a handful that have lashed out back at Mike because they do not want to listen. They do not want to go the proper route for a little more money.
Mike never said listen buy my completely expensive lights.
He did say the stuff posted is crap here is a reasonable alternative i.e. Cibie or Hella if you have too.

Did the people arguing with him listed to that? No, they tried to defend their cheap ass ways and attacked Mike. When Mike is attacked he comes back with the ammunition, that pretty much proves his point.

Its funny, anytime anyone makes good points on Zilvia, everyone starts trying to play you're mad and whatnot and go in for the personal attack.

Now you say you understand, perhaps now you will understand even more.

Its been done to a 240 before. and there is proof,

its just seems as though they are REALLY deep headlights.

looks like 9006 low beam and 9005 high beam.. probably projectors similar to the J30..
