nstg8r Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Looks Great!!! Couple ???s Are those green position lights? What size LED halos? And are they the ones from TRS? They're actually 5000K white leds with diffusing lenses from V-leds. White balance on my camera was probably thrown off by the brightness of the halos combined with an overcast sky. Not sure exactly the size, but the halos are the Morimoto xB led halos from TRS. Also, if you didn't notice, my turn signals are now wired as 7443 bulbs (instead of 7440s) so they also function as parking lights as well.

GTEASER Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 The halos look very yellow (kinda neon) when off. Are they that yellow in person? If you could find out the size, that would be greatly appreciated.

3.6rrrrrmatey Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 The Yellow coating gives the LED it's White color. You still have the option to use CCFL halos. They have a nicer look inside the housing when off but a very different look than LED when on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faded-a-fool Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Also, IDRVSLO told me the CCFL halos are also more prone to fail. I also read somewhere that they do not take vibration that well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3.6rrrrrmatey Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 *shrug* in my experience CCFL is just as likely to fail as a LED or 10 in a LED ring. The CCFL is more fragile to movements and have to be secured carefully. CCFL have an inverter box that need to be mounted and protected. LEDs are more susceptible to heat damage and poor quality control. Both are a gamble. You should always be going for a specific look and only deal with a customizer that does repairs without crying.

GTEASER Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Yes, squirrel finders. Drive your car up to your garage door with your headlights on. Above the normal light cutoff line you will see another rectangular light pattern on the door. I believe the purpose of this secondary pattern is to throw some light on road signs, but it also throws light into the eyes of oncoming drivers oncoming.

MRLancaster Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I'm jealous. Very jealous. That turned out amazing! I tried baking mine, but I guess I didnt have the temp up high enough, was scared I was going to crack them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLGT Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Thanks all, I was scared also especially putting the brand new hl in the oven. I like the 2013's, helps break up how big these headlights really are. Some things I noticed about the 2013 projectors compared to the 2010's, the 2010 lenses are clearer and the 2010's also have a more defined step on the shield... the squirrel finders on the 2013's can't be bent.

MachoManAndySavage Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 hey guys how are you splitting the headlights to paint them?? If anyone has a DIY would be appreciated? I'm not looking to black them out but I want to remove the amber accents inside the headlight housing. I want that chrome headlight look on my RRP but the ambers are killing me. Or if you guys know how to get them out without splitting the housings...?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering why people keep flashing me. I've been flashed on numerous occasions and had no idea, why cause of course the headlights surely wouldn't cause this phenomenon.

GTEASER Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I am flashed often too, I only wish it was the other high beams flashing me, if you know what I mean.
