Those are gorgeous, makes me wanna rebuild my projectors. The inside reflectors on mine were plastic with chrome paint and they melted. My output sucks and have no cut off anymore. Audi A6 projectors too, unexpected quality from them You might be the inspiration I need!

[islandhopper]

Its gorgeous Matt! I'm jealous! I can't wait for moaaaar pics! And when you installing your new rims!?

thanks brah. more pix soon.

wheels are being restored.

Nice cb! Btw, is that 4 point strut brace THAT much better than the normal ones, like megan racing? Im seriously thinking about getting one.

Thank you. And yes, i believe they do a much better job at pre-loading the suspension. My car handles FLAT.

My vote for one of the sexiest front ends around.

Much appreciated, Sir.

And im pretty sure your coupe is quickly becoming a classic

Im glad you like them. Yours look badass..if the performance isn't what you'd like, then i'd definitely rebuild them, cuz they look awesome.

Not on level ground. Just showcasing the beam pattern and cut-off...

After some fine tuning, they'll be aces!

Thanks, bud!

No problemo.

[islandhopper]

I wasn't satisfied with the cut-off...so i tinkered around and found that the seating ring was warped slightly, lifting one edge of the bulb, giving me non-uniform hotspots and a sloped cut-off on the driver's side. It was really affecting overall output quite negatively.

But after a little elbow-grease.....................Problem fixed!









Im pretty happy with these so far. Nighttime visibility is outrageous. I relate it to wearing yellow specs at the shooting range. Pilots also use similarly tinted optics. Everything has a bit more definition.

They look very yellow

[islandhopper]

They look very yellow

nah bro....they are EXTREMELY yellow.

[Oreellyfool]

nah bro....they are EXTREMELY yellow.

They look pretty badass though

[crazymikey]

I seriously love the yellow. Look at your visibility with it. It's absolutely crystal clear.

So sick. I debated doing my high beams yellow when I blackhoused my headlights. I may still do it.

But omg...always been a fan of 3000k.

Agreed. They're pretty damn badass...a bunch of guys on HIDPlanet like them as well. And they're getting better and better as they burn!






Im still tinkering with the cutoff/beam pattern/hot-spot alignment. Kinda tedious, but it's actually a lot of fun. Last night i adjusted the bulb seat and i got some color flicker, right at the cutoff....it looks so frigin' cool!

[islandhopper]

Fixed the bulb seating issue.

I think it's damn near perfect.

~15ft





~50ft








Even the driving experience is better..









They may look a little (or a lot) green, but i can assure you that they are a deep golden yellow...just as described by TRS.

My camera isn't set-up for this...

EDIT:

w/Flash

Let me run yellow lows i'd be gettin tickers all night. its illegal in cali to tun any color light but white or halogen

Cutoff looks good

Taken from HIDPlanet:

I think it depends on state but its legal in cali apparently as long as your head lights are white or yellow

25950. This section applies to the color of lamps and to any
reflector exhibiting or reflecting perceptible light of 0.05 candela
or more per foot-candle of incident illumination. Unless provided
otherwise, the color of lamps and reflectors upon a vehicle shall be
as follows:
(a) The emitted light from all lamps and the reflected light from
all reflectors, visible from in front of a vehicle, shall be white or
yellow, except as follows:
(1) Rear side marker lamps required by Section 25100 may show red
to the front.
(2) The color of foglamps described in Section 24403 may be in the
color spectrum from white to yellow.

Im glad i live in a place where cops aren't haflway up my ass about my high quality, properly aimed, better than OEM lighting...
and i don't think "halogen" is a color.

That's too bad they'd hassle you about that shit, bro. Cuz the clarity and sight distance with this color is beast.
