Just finished with the install.

Horrible pics, but gives you an idea:

Getting better pics taken of the car next week.

Looks great! I can't wait to start this on the sedan.

ern-diz · 09-07-2009, 06:53 PM

real nice bro!

lilredrocket · 09-07-2009, 06:54 PM

How bright is the blinker now with the housing around it painted black?

*tk-421* · 09-07-2009, 06:55 PM

Very nicely done!
How bright are those projectors? Have you had the chance to try them out at night yet?

Brian · 09-07-2009, 07:06 PM

Looks good. These things look great at night. Did you figure
out how to adjust the cut off height?

cali yaris · 09-07-2009, 07:11 PM

That is inspiring!!

JumpmanYaris · 09-07-2009, 07:13 PM

Very Very nice Peter u got to do my set

PETERPOOP · 09-07-2009, 07:26 PM

Thanks guys. Can't say how bright it is at night yet, because I finished them around 12pm and it obviously isn't dark yet.

lol. I was always one to say that to everyone. I also always wanted to take my amber reflector out before I even did the retro. However, after painting it black and debating whether i wanted it in there or not, I came to the conclusion that it would look even more "ebay-ish" if I took out the reflector. It gives it a somewhat OEM look IMO.

If I was to do it over again, i'd still leave it in there. Plus, it will be one less thing to worry about if the cops are checking out my car!

cali yaris · 09-07-2009, 07:26 PM

^ ooh, how do we do that?

Are you referring to echo's suggestion about removing the orange reflector?

I thinks it looks better with the reflector in unless you can get a hold of the clear one
so you're not left with a big hole and the bulb being visible.

Looks great! Changes the front end look alot. Still like the look of the dual projectors, even if the light output isn't as good. Single halo is nice though. Good Job.

The Architect · 09-07-2009, 09:18 PM

marcus · 09-08-2009, 03:06 PM

I don't think it'd be worth it man. You'd obviously have to pay for shipping of your headlights AND the projector kit box to hawaii. Anything to hawaii is never to cheap. Besides the cost of whatever i'd charge, I think you'd be better off doing it yourself. It's really not as bad as you think. You can PM me if you have any questions about it or need any tips.

Well actually the ebay headlights are only one projector.
