That's because you're limited to X images uploaded to this forum's servers. You should be using Photobucket or something comparable anyway (translation: you're doing it wrong).
But I managed to complete all the wiring. Now I have dual halo headlights. And halo fog lights running in my car. 7000k halo rings. 6000k hids. White led signal lights. And yeah that's that. I'm trying to upload pics but for some reason it isn't letting me. I will ASAP.
And I love how the headlights turned out. Only thing I'm unimpressed with is the company I bought them from advertised "7000k CCFL halos" an when I compare them to my foglights (also 7000k halos) you can clearly tell that the headlights aren't. I'm still very happy with how it all looks. But If anyone plans on going this route id just make sure that either the foglights or halos are forsure CCFL halos.
FWIW, when you try to post a picture here, click the "From URL" tab, uncheck the "Retrieve" checkbox, and paste the URL. Or you can add the IMG tags. Like so:
Could we get a picture of the headlights with them off, close up?
Okay I'll see I I can figure that out haha in not the most computer tech savvy guy. And yeah I'll go grab a picture here pretty soon close up on the headlights
Interesting. It looks like they maintained the grey surround that everyone hates so much. Did you get a good eyeball on the high beams? It looks like you could throw an extra projector in there and run quad headlamps (six projectors total, if you count the fogs).
Yeah there's more then enough room to do that forsure. Just cut out a hole for the projector and silicone it in. overall wouldn't be too hard I'd think
What did you use from the front of these fog lights? It looks killer, what I'm wondering is I want mine tinted since its a black car and I'm wondering if VHT will work on just a piece of acrylic. Did you just pop yours into the oven to remove the factory front glass?
I used fairly thick plexiglass actually. Then used a heat gun and clamps and silicone and slowly bent it and let it sit for 24 hours. So far so good.
I couldn't find any other suitable materials at the time, so I'm hoping they don't crack or anything.
To remove the factory I put them in the oven for about 4-5 mins and slowly pried off the oem lense, and continued through that procedure till they were off.
I absolutely love how they look. To me personally makes the front end look a little more modern, and the projector fits perfectly into the fog light housing, still keeping the signal light and daytime running light perfectly functional.
I think I will follow your lead once again with this project! Did you pick up the projectors from e-bay? I have my stock ones out of my headlights, wonder if those would fit.
Working on my own right now. Bought the foglamp cores off a wrecked CTS on eBay for $50 apiece. Need to do a water resistance test, and I'll probably have pictures up this weekend, along with the Forgestar F14s. Bought the thickest Lexan I could find at Home Depot...it's over 1/4" thick!
Do you guys bend the replacement lexan or do you just leave it flat? I want to attempt this mod but if bending the clear plexi to fit is in the project forget about it. Also do you just use silicone or somthing of that sort to hold the lexan on. Thanks
You use a silicon based epoxy and clamp it down all the way around. That creates the bend--it can't happen any other way. Do a couple of Google searches and you'll find a ton of build threads.
You have to bake the housing to remove the original lens. Read up on it. The build threads are very clear.
