ellivnad Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Those look pretty nice. Translating the page I get this. System 1: ship your headlights, they install eagle eyes, ship back, cost $534 System 2: ship your headlights, they install all new lenses, ship back, cost $846 System 3: they ship whole new headlight assemblies, cost $2186 .o0O0o.

red beast Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 next question. how long will the car be down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCDetails Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 You can make your own, you know. Here is how we make them for Integras. You just need to heat up an acrylic rod (curtain rods work great) and then use a dremmel to cut the lines in. Run two LEDs on either end of the rod and wire them to your park lamps. If you are comfortable baking the headlight to pop the cover off (follow the same instructions that you would if you were clearing the corners) then this is an easy mod. It just takes the balls to bake the headlights (which I don't have). The big problem with this mod is that you won't really be able to see them when the headlights are on anyway. It looks cool on BMWs because the halo is around the high beam as well as the low beam. Once you turn on the headlight I think halos on our cars would wash out with the rest of the light. Actually, there is a picture of it. You can't hardly tell there are halos on at all. http://tara555.hp.infoseek.co.jp/picture/CCFL/CCFL%20ver.2-23.jpg _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

D-2.5-GT Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 You can't hardly tell there are halos on at all. +1 Not to mention for $2k, those better be completely new HID assemblies, which i doubt they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franklin Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Does look neat. $2000 neat -no way. I know mod for this car are expensive but this is just nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCDetails Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 That $2000 price is only if you want to just buy new assemblies with the halos already installed. Still, that is waaaaaaaay more than new assemblies will cost and waaaaaaaaay more than it costs to manufacuter these suckers. I've seen some really mechanically challenged people make these and have them work out just fine. You just need something good to bend the acrylic rod around. These have an interesting curve that doesn't look completely round, but I'm sure something could be sorted that would work. I'll bet I could make sets of these for less than $20 in materials. The LEDs are the most expensive part of the project if you want really bright ones. They could cost you a whole couple bucks per bulb. :eek _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

SFGR415 Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 www.umnitza.com They have been doing them for a while for the BMW's (upgrade) as well as the IS300. The kits are usually around $200. You install them yourself. I'm sure if there is enough interest, they can make em for the LGT. Thats how the ones for the IS300 got started (IS300.NET). All they really have to do is make the ring and everything else they already have that will work from their other kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepin gt Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 i want these. i want these. i want these. LETS GET THE GROUP BUY STARTED! lets start a list. (these never work but what harm can it do) expected price: 200-250 im sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom96 Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 What do you guys think about the extra heat generation? If you are using a Xenon upgrade kit already, think these would push the heat envelope for the assembly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCDetails Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 nah... LEDs aren't going to generate that much heat. The angel eyes work similar to fiber optic lights. The light shows up by scoring the surface of an acrylic ring. The light is generated by two relatively cool LEDs that couldn't generate enough heat to melt butter. _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

Xenonk Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 the easier way is to just shove a http://www.streetglow.com headlight neon kit under the orb portion of the headlight projector. Much cheaper and works just as well. Keefe Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest *Jedimaster* Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 I'd be all over doing it- it looks simple enough. I just wonder how the things would be attached inside the light. I don't want any ugly hardware showing and I don't want to have to take the lights out again and open them up if the halos came off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
