Custom Made Headlights or Taillights, etc. Options

[Michelle95celica]

I wrote about this guy in another thread, but I'll post it here for everyone else. I cam across a guy named Joshua, his website is:

www.izntrbl.com


He will make custom projector headlights (with different features, like angel eyes, LEDs, etc) for practically any car. He also makes custom clear lenses for headlights and taillights. He does a lot of J-Body parts, but he can probably make Celica parts for us who want tastefully done custom taillights and who can't afford $700 (give or take) for a full set of JDM Projectors. Want a clear LED 3rd brake light? He'll make it.

The only "catch" is that you need to provide the stock headlights. He will add projectors w/ chrome or black bezels, LEDs or Angel Eyes (if you want) and trim rings, for $300, which covers one complete set (pair) of headlights, both left and right. You can even get HID kits as well, w/ quality conversion harnesses. So you can have Celica projector headlights for $300, which don't need to be modified for left hand drive.

The cool thing, I did a little research, his customer service is impressive. He will make things right and from what I read, he'll do it at no cost to the customer. If a lense was too thin or scratched, he sent a replacement right away and didn't even ask for shipping. That's cool in my book.

I know he doesn't have a Celica but he does have a nice Sunfire on Cardomain, LOL.

I'm not much for 4drs but his cars are nice. I don't know him personally, but the quality of his work speaks for itself. Maybe we can get a group buy going, what do you say guys?

Sounds very interesting. I'd be up for a set of taillights.

[fanboy95]

i might be interested also

[t-rad]

I would be down with that too provided it was quality work.

[NaderG]

projectors for 300 ! , i'd take my lights off my car and park it till they come back for that ! ... how do i contact him ?

[illneversellmyce...]

x2 but i have to see the work and the real final bill first

[j0e_p3t]

definitely down for some headlights.

[dustin15brown]

Like I said in another thread, he's on my list of people to call and ask. Provided he's down for some work, I'll get him a set Nader so you won't have to worry bout parking that thing while he's working..... But I'm going to be blown away impressed if he retrofits a projector, does a custom housing and lens for $300.... I'd buy a LOT of them if this is the case

[fanboy95]

different tail lights would be great too

[Camax333]

Projectors + Angel eyes?!?!?! I would love some of those!

[elvasoshexai]

would that be HID projectors for the $300 pricetag??? i'd be VERY impressed if he could do all that including labour for $300... that's like.. 1/2 what i paid...

but then would the new lens be plastic? so they would yellow out over time right?

acutally , i was just j/k , i am getting a paint job some time next year , i can just send him my lights then ... i will email or call him to check his prices , projectors go for arround 560+ a pair , and they are technicly illegal , if he can does it for less and has a good customer service then it might be better than buying JDMs

[Lovo]

I own a 95 Toyota Celica, and I would really like some projectors made by you.

My OEM headlights are made with a glass covering, but it would be better for mass production if you made them with plastic covering.

Getting JDM projectors for my low beams costs about 600 dollars, because of importing and the fact that they're new OEM products.

if you could let me know what you can do, and what you need to make this project work; let me know.

Have a nice day.


-Lovo

hello lovo. i am sorry, but i will not be able to mass produce due to i have many many orders that come in as it is, and can not add a mass to the mix. i also build these on the weekends with my spare time. with that said, your pricing will be:

300.00= labor
350.00= materials (projectors, HID kits, harnesses, etc.)
100.00= custom made clear lenses
50.00= chroming (for more oem stock look. if not, they will be gloss black)
30.00= shipping

i will need you to supply me a set of lights to work with, or i can purchase a set for you, and charge you the cost.

thank you lovo, and if you have any questions, let me know. have a great day sir!

[airfron]

that is not cheap. he does nice work though.

[DeW_H0e_GT]

dang thats about the pricing of a set of jdm projectors....

[goferris]

after you getting him the stock headlights that will actually cost you a couple hundred more. damn! some rich guy do it so we can see the end results

[Culpable04]

300.00= labor
350.00= materials (projectors, HID kits, harnesses, etc.)
100.00= custom made clear lenses
50.00= chroming (for more oem stock look. if not, they will be gloss black)
30.00= shipping


Am I the only one here misreading this ?

if I get this right he's saying

300 ( labor ) + 350 ( materials ) + 100 (custom made clear lenses ) = gloss black housing and if you want it chrome add 50.00

that's US$750.00 black or US$800.00 ( chrome finish )

Plus US$30.00 shipping.

I may be getting this wrong but I think that's what he's saying. he just broke it down so we know what cost what.

i might get him to make the covers and take over from there... i mean the inside of the headlight wouldn't be too hard to fit a projector in... would it?

making it look good would be the hard part, i think...

It's still not an easy task... I've completly taken apart both my custom DCW projectors and JDM projectors and looked at the inner workings quite a bit... The housing piece is the hardest IMO, but making the retrofitted projector sit well is also a tedious task. But he says that he can do clear lenses for $100 which is pretty good. I called him today with no reply but I'll call again tomorrow. If he can indeed do the lenses for 100 for the lows and maybe slightly lower for the highs then I'd be more than willing to write up a how-to or whatever that would show how to make a nice inner housing piece for the highs

[Lovo]

by the way, i never really had a chance to compliment those projectors you made a while back, since i wasn't around... they're hot sex. =)

that how to should help out a lot... i can't wait to jump into this.

[dustin15brown]

Here's the deal guys. I will be taking care of the lenses from here on out. I made an agreement with this company to produce the lenses and am just awaiting Coomer's approval. Be on the lookout for a gb/fs thread here relatively soon. Also, I think the prices are going to make you guys happy.

And thanks I love my projectors. Provided this goes well I will be providing a detailed write up on how to make your stock highs look like JDM's. and your stock lows look a lot more appealing

[j0e_p3t]

sweet. i wonder just how happy the prices are gonna make me.

[RbrtNdrws]

Sounds great dustin. I am very interested and I'm sure the prices will be reasonable.

[Lovo]

i can't wait... i can't wait!

thanks a lot!

[goferris]

ooh ooh! i want some. are you going to be doing both highs and lows?

[dustin15brown]

ooh ooh! i want some. are you going to be doing both highs and lows?

yes... i will be doing both the highs and the lows... the only thing is.. I will be personally testing a set of these before selling to make the light situation known and how much it affects the output

[DeW_H0e_GT]

THATS what i call dedicatioon.....DUSTIN always come thru for us 6gc folks...keep up teh good work...and we're counting on u to get us hot chicks at car shows, n drive thrus

Wow, I thought they would be much less expensive, $700 to $800 is still rediculous for headlights. I mean, we need to get somebody to mass produce projectors, I thought this guy could since he seems to have such a huge customer base. Even if we had to wait few months for headlights, he'd still make his money on them because there are people here who would buy them, including myself. Even if they fit perfect, JDM lights are still illegal here. If we could find a nice, mass producer to do the lights for like $300-$400 that would be awesome. We need taillights too, because not everyone can do a Supra conversion or get the limited and not very attractive "custom" taillights that are out there.

Can someone call this guy and ask if he can do taillights? I would imagine those would be somewhat easier, since no projectors would need to be fitted. He does good work, and we need custom taillights.

Also, with these clear lenses, is that just for taking the glass stock ones off and putting the clear ones on, for a euro look with oem fitment? How do you get them off?

settle down there man. Use the search button, it can be a great help. Also, there's a parts database on the home page to look at many parts. Part of doing up a car is finding your own style and what you like. The 5s can hold up pretty well. Check out build threads from "pressure2" There are also specific forums for each aspect of the car. Take a little bit and check out these areas. Again, use the search button, it's a GREAT help! Welcome to the boards!

No one will mass produce lights for our cars, because there's not a MASS market... Josh won't bring his pricing down much. I would actually anticipate the tails to be just as much if not more money because this is a relatively new area for him making things and there's more creativity and time involved, potentially. As for lenses, I'll provide a full write up

Perhaps we should attempt to gauge possible interest/market for tail lights. While we obviously can't produce a tail light that will appeal to everyone we can attempt to work out the maximum market size.

For the moment assume that the tail light is exactly what you've always wanted and the price is the same as a brand new pair of standard tail lights from Toyota. Please add your name to the list if you would be likely to buy a set in the next year. You aren't actually committing yorself - this is just to gauge interest.

I'll get the ball rolling:
