looks sexy man. but come on, give up the goods: what projectors are those? how did you mount them? what hids? temp?

but most importantly, if i mail you a dozen cookies, can you hook up the greenpsycho?

 

they are projectors i got off HIDplanet .com, 6500K hiD, and its gonne take a lot more than a dzeon cookies for a job like this, wasnt hard, just real time consuming.

 

Damn Rigo, that is tight as hades man!!!! I might have to do that in about 18-20 years! Depends on how fast my little girl can get here and grow up and go off to college! Anyway, it's hot and keep doing what you do man!!!!

rigo i hate u. plain and simple. that looks sick man,... looks like its factory made!

 

awesome, you need to patent those and sell the design!

 

yeah if u do this retro for say 100 bucks plus material cost. then id be down.

 

looks great bro! I was hoping to be the first, but i've been working slow pace!

 

thanks, loving them so far, im gonna do all the adjustments tomorrow night, then ill get pics up of the light beam and what not...

that might be possible, 100-150 (but thats cheap and a lot of damn work, so we'll see) but when it comes down to it, most people wont do it after finding out what materials cost,

anyone got a stock set of headlights they wanna sell cheap so i can do a retro on those?

for people that are wondering:
cedia headlights=270
projectors + hid kit= 280-400(depending on what type of projector, and where you get it)
other materials(paint screws, pvc,)- 40
time- 8 hours/pair

so i can see why i good set of already made projected headlamps that come with HID's run pretty high, a cheap setup can be made but you get what you pay for, as with any other car part....

overall not a bad project,

IF-
you have opened you lights before and know what your getting into
have the ***** to do it without a spare set of lights
you have a lot of patience
you have a lot of time
you do your research on hidplanet.com
you like to do things yourself
you want to set you car apart from everyone else(especially the lancer crowd, who dont really have access to a projector headlamp assembly)

on a scale of 1-10 of mode, i rate this a 10, its pimp

 

i might try to venture when you have gone.....but cutting open the cedia's......that makes me nervous.....

 

i'm with ya there tim, they look too perfect to mess with. haven't even installed mine yet

 

You;ve encouraged a some people to go out and do it on your own. I started working on mine back in may i believe (before school let out), and it's really time consuming, i just haven't had the time, since i've been working - *trying to get rims, which is should be getting on July 21st or so* hehe. but excellent job, I would definitely recommend doing it on a spare headlight pair. I wish i had the cedias, looks it'd be easier to insert projectors into that than what i'm doing, thats why I"M using a PROJECTOR HOUSING from another car, so it would work better than just throwing the projector into the stock part. =P so i guess what i'm doing is one of a kind too?

 

lookslikeanevo, that's an amazing job... seeriously that looks f%#@in awesome! best i've ever seen. you should be otu there marketing those headlights to companies to copy (of course giving you royalties). do'nt put your hard work to waste! start emailing and sending pictures (after copyrightin everything) hahahaha

 

yeah no kinding if you tried selling that idea to say tyc or whatever they may bit

 

thats just nasty!

i want to know how and what supplies ya used! if you feel inclined to share

 

simply amazing.. looks freakin unbelievably OEM.. Can't even tell they are home made. I want some!!! lol.. I've been dying for a set of projectors.. but now my priorities have changed since I need to order my clutch/flywheel this week. =/
