Everyone is jumping on the projector headlight bandwagon.

Damn shame too.

Yes, but none of your 2gn'ers have jumped on the OEM projector bandwagon

that's because i'm not talented enough to do that

i can't see spending more on a set of OEM projectors .. when i can just about go out and buy another neon for that price hah

Thats just what you PAY someone, doing it yourself isn't nearly as expensive.

all the OEM setups i checked into .. just for the hardware ... and me doing work ... was a whole lot higher then what i would be willing to spend...

True, however if you ever decide to sell it, you can sell all the hardware for as much as you picked it up for, you cant say that about most parts for neons. And as far as parts go, you just need to be creative.

if i ever luck out and find a set cheap in a local yard i might do it .. till then lights like this will work .. esp since right now my stock lights really need a good buffing and sanding to get them to be clear again ...

My projectors will be delivered any time now. Those guys at m1performance (ebay seller) gave me the UPS tracking number and will be here today. How late does UPS deliver update they just got here pictures in a few minutes

ups can deliver even up to 8pm at night ...

yeah, about the moisture.. hint to everyone who buys any kind of aftermarket lense's, especially off ebay, SILICONE THEM YOURSELF BEFORE INSTALLING... every lense I have ever gotten off ebay got moisture in them, they dont seal those worth shit usually, I bought a set of blk housed projectors for my turbo'd accord and they got so much moisture in them I had to take them apart to dry them out and then reseal them

^ Good to know it's not just ebay projectors. Sucks about your Accord!

update. I never got my projector lights yet. I called UPS and they said its on its way to North Carolina. WTF i live in CA and they shipped it from Los angeles area.

I called the guy from m1performace and said he called to set up a trace. The agent from UPS it might have been placed on the wrong truck. He said that in there system its suppose to be shipped to escondido ca. They said that weird that it got placed on the wrong route.


So it looks like my headlights are going on a little nation wide road trip. I hope the package doesn't get busted.... Thank god i have insurance.


I will keep you guys updated. on the breaking news......

i have had that happen before with UPS ... ends up delaying the package by a few days to a week... just make sure and inspect the box before signing for it.

Devil would there be updates on the tracking on its way to north carolina ?number because it has still not been updated. They said the package could be lost.

you likely wont see another update till monday.

looks like my headlights made it to Greensboro, NC and now its going to turn around and come back to California

lol wow that sucks, haha.. I might get a set of projector headlights.. I dnt know tho.. there are more import things like lowerin my bitch first, lol.... I might just get a set of the aftermarket crystal clear ones, and retrofit rx8 projectors in them.. (my friend has stock rx8 headlights he will sell to me for like 50 bucks)

update

they will arrive on 4/6/07

here is my package on vaction

here are a couple of pictures i took tonight




high beams


projectors (btw how the hell do i line them up?)







overall its a great headlights.

Good job dude, did you hook up the halos or LEDS? As far as aiming:

You use those screws to the top left and middle right to aim. Search around this thread for lambostealths aiming instructions.

yes i hooked up the LED and halo. I might take out the bulbs in a few weeks and replace them with a better bulbs. BTW what type are the high and low beam bulbs.

Yes, please aim them properly per my posts in this thread, thy are aimed way too high. Projectors are much more intense that reflectors, so your lights are a potential hazard.

now i am starting to think that i need to re-aim mine also, my friend said it was blinding
________
Ford 385 engine specifications

I was driving around town and my friend told me that he wasn't blinded. we did a few test runs on flat roads. he has a altima. but i will reaim when i buy better H1 bulbs

meh, got the height of mine adjusted .. but the left/right adjuster on the pass side headlight is doing nothing to move it to the left or right ... and of course it is aimed over to the left by a noticable amount ... ebay FTW ... =P will pull it apart and figure out what to do to resolve it in the near future...

how bright was the silverstar?

bright, ... well it just looks a little 'whiter' then the pics you posted ... and thats with the beams going crosseyed because of the messed up adjuster

this is the H! bulb that came with my headlights

finally got mine almost tweaked enough to be adjusted right ... ended up aiming them a little to low ... so got to move each up a notch or two ... then double check and take it for a test drive again ..

i think once i get the right bulbs for my fog lights i won't need to go to a higher wattage bulb for the high beams ... just will do the mod so they stay on no matter how the switch is.
