we've all seen it.

[Rexter9x]

Has anyone had experience with the projector headlights?? I would like to swap to hids at some point, but want to switch to projectors first....

[adam337]

^^These are still under development


They have been under development for about 3years now

[pimpalero2003]

slent has them in the low beam area u can buy for i think 600 and ur stocks

LED strips were $25 shipped, but havent made any new batches yet.

[black]

any plans on making any?

i can paypal today :)

[AnderbrA]

possibly. let me check what I have for stock at home. email me at anderbrainnovations@hotmail.com

speak for yourself, nobody complained at ass this year on mine. :scpimp:

[pimpalero2003]

i like them but where the high beam there need to be another one or what im wainting to do put a 3in screen

[pawzbear]

a 3in lcd screen in ur headlights? huh? hopefully i misunderstood lmao

That's your own opinion, and I disagree.

I got some LED strips from oznium for like $25.... I posted a thread about it.... I'll find it..

[nickbain]

Is there any way of putting on two sets of HIDs in our headlights. I was thinking about putting projectors in both the high and low beam area and just aiming them differently for high and low beam.

[cavaliers60]

^^ That will cost you more most likely, but I'm interested to see how that would look...


For black, here's what I did to get the LED third tail light... It's basically the same thing Anderbra does. Just my version. lol

Instead of aiming them higher for the high beams, aim them at the same level as the low beams and then take out the cut off shield. That's basically what a Bi-Xenon projector does for the high beam - you hit the high beam switch which energizes a solenoid that pulls the cut off shield down and away.

[adam337]

i just want to know why youd put projectors in the low beams when its the High beams that you should be concerned with.. id rather have my projectors used for highway driving than town driving..?

Because I want too :p

But seriously..I'm not sure about the look of one projector and one regular light,it looks alright but I think it would look better with two. Also, ALL of my driving is what most would consider highway. I live on a gravel sideroad, my town has maybe 5 or 6 street lights and the nearest "city" is an hour and a half away, so I would benifet from cleaner, brighter light all around. I also think that projectors would cut through fog and snow and other fun weather better since it is a concentrated beam (please correct me if I am wrong) and out here I drive through a lot of bad weather while at the same time keeping an eye out for moose and deer (The area that I live in is a winter home for a lot of deer, they migrate here from all over) and pretty much anything else that is bigger than me.

WOWWWW!!!! someone actually said it!!!!!! yea, projectors looks like ass in our headlight assemblies, but if you put two it would look better. But its too much money to spend on headlights..... just my opinion.

[nickbain]

does anyone know what vehicles I whould look at to steal the projectors outta? (best fit, quality etc.) thanks.

[nickbain]

nevermind

Either that or they were just being kind to the kid with the plaster stuck to the front of his bumper. :lol: :lol: :jk:

Projectors do look good on our cars, to bad GM didn't put them on as a stock item.

[AnderbrA]

Vinny (Gr1m) asked me the same question earlier today.

I havent made any other sets of them for 2 main reasons.
1: I dont have any headlights to work with
2: They are a major PITA. Silent can prolly vouch for that as well.

The other thing to keep in mind, is that they are not a cheap investment. The $600 that was posted earlier is right on target.

$100 for Audi projectors(if you can find them cheap on ebay)
$300 for a decent set of HIDs
$200 in labor.(working for well under minimum wage, mind you :lol: )
-----

So....that being said....find a set of headlights, and give me plenty of time, and i might be possible.

[cavaliers60]

I'd send you mine. and I don't think I'd need the HIDs right now.. I got those Silverstar ultra bulbs that are pretty bright.

[adam337]

So. If I send you my head lights. And a can of spray paint. Youll spray the bezels black for me and Buy and put Hids in and projectors with angel eyes for 600? (these are your old clears btw :p) my Brights are exactly the same as my dims so i was really thinking on buying new lights but this will work deff. and give me an estimate on how long?

[Spilner521]

The D2S HID bulbs mount into the projector differently than our 9006 bulbs. You'd either need projectors made with 9006 bulb holders or you'd need to buy HID bulbs and ballasts right away to use the projectors.

All this talk about HID's and projectors made me want some. I just bought some Acura TSX HID projector headlights to tear apart :thumb:

[Cliff8928]

One issue with having HIDs for your high-beams is the amount of time they take to get to full brightness. That's why there's no cars that come with separate HID high-beam lights. If you would want to go the easier route, you could just get some projector modules, but they aren't cheap.

http://www.rallylights.com/hella/hella%20images/21520.jpg (http://www.rallylights.com/hella/50mm_modules.asp)
These Hella 50mm modules are $450/ea, the H7 Halogen version is $116. They make a 90mm version, but I'd guess that's too big for the Alero headlights, I have them on my Beretta and they are a tight fit.

[AnderbrA]

I'd send you mine. and I don't think I'd need the HIDs right now.. I got those Silverstar ultra bulbs that are pretty bright.

The HID kit that I had fit the 9006 spot, but they were straight harnesses, not L shaped like that of a halogen 9006. As a matter of fact, I have them in my Lincoln LS now, which is also 9006.

Long story short......The halogen 9006 with the L shape you have now will not fit in a projector housing.

I think now you can find cheap HID kits for as cheap as $150.

I dont think I will do them w/o HID kit.

Unless I can find a more heat tolerant way to make the halos, those are probably out, might be able to use some larger diameter rod, but dunno yet as I have not messed with them in so long.

I did however make some killer lighting with strategically placed red LEDs on the set I made, but for the life of me, i cannot find the pics. It illuminated the entire assembly red. Looked great.

If everyone who is interested in it really want em, I might be willing to do them, especially if I have say 2 or 3 sets to do at the same time, I can make sure they are all done the same, rather than one-offs.

Ill sleep on it...but may have room for convincing.:cool:

BTW...just made a killer set of LED tails for a 3G Mitsu Eclipse.

Well, Im interested in them, and I get my bonus in a week.... the only problem for me is the lack of headlights to send you... but if your gonna make a couple sets, Im up for one! I think the projectors look pretty sweet

The few sets that I would be looking at making require a core, so the only way I can make them is if you can find a spare set of headlights.

sorry AnderbrA, i forgot to email you..

did you think about the led 3rd brake light for me?

You won't go back to halogen after you experience HID, guaranteed.
FRom what I've heard on people that run HID low beams and halogen highs is that you'll never use your highs again.
However, this might only be true for the people running halogen light sockets that add glare n crap for other cars, isntead of a clean cutoff line like projectors.

That's actually really nice looking. Do you mount the LED's to a circuit board or is it a premade LED disc that goes in there?

I make the clusters by hand. From Cutting out the plexi shape, drilling holes, mounting LEDs, to solder-wiring.

Here is a pic of the clusters...before cleaning and mounting.

You still need your high beams with HIDs. While they're brighter and all, they still don't get the sides of the road and way off in the distance like the high beams do. Especially with the sharp cutoff line for cars with projectors (like my mom's Denali). But even on the Alero, I still use the high-beams. You should however wire them so that the highs and lows are on at the same time. It's not very good for the HIDs to cycle them like that.

Looks nice. Are the brake lights seperate LED's from the running tail lights or are they all dual contact LED's that get brighter? From that pic of the Eclipse and these discs, it looks like the outer cirlces are the running tail lights and maybe the middle of the circles light up as brake lights...

[AnderbrA]

^^^
Exactly
This would be what it would look like with both running and brake:

I would say this would pertain to projectors, but w/o projectors, I have had no need to touch my high beams on both my Alero and my LS. I can see much more with much more contrast just using the HIDs. The high beams are just a dull flood of light. It also will pertain to the lumens of your HIDs. If you had a 6000K temp color or greater, I could see how the high beams come in handy. I have 4300K which will give probably the most light out of the range.
