My Project Headlight... Projectors+Angel Eyes+LED, Done with the project!! Thx Rayme 4 Clear lenses Options

[vincent_doggy]

Since my JDM Projectors was smashed, I need some quick and inexpensive way to rebuild my 6GC

But since Rayme out of stock of Clear Lenses, if anybody could part the clear lense and send to me ASAP for me to finish this project and my car, that would be much appreciated

Paypal Ready, or can trade with my stuff, Brand new JDM Tails, Curren Tails, Door Sills, Armrest combo, etc...

dude your projectors got smashed? how, that really sucks man.

[GriffGirl]

Best I could do is send you USDM headlights and you can have the lenses polished...

[imper]

man that looks sweet. but i think you need to clean your camera lense

can you run a mock up in ur car to show us what they look like hooked up?

[slow_yota]

How much do the jdm projectors run ?

[j0e_p3t]

try dustin brown. i think he did a lil clear lense thing a while back. see if he has any left.

[AnaXyd]

Wow, they look amazing. Do you have a picture with some light on it? With angeleyes/leds etc?

[vincent_doggy]

Wow, they look amazing. Do you have a picture with some light on it? With angeleyes/leds etc?

I am still waiting for the news of clear lenses, once I got the lenses, would put the lights on and show off here...

Could you do a parts list or a how to with actual pics? ( I have seen the other how to) I have been wanting to do this for a while but I really don't want to mess up my stock headlights or mess up a spare set.

BTW they look awesome!!! That is just how I would like to do mine! You always have the best looking stuff man!

Thanks

Its real easy to make something non permanent without damaging anything if you only use glue/silicone. But you will have to remove the reflector and created a way to aim your lights after...using the reflectors and hacking into them gives you the ability to aim them using the stock adjustment screws.

Yeah I know, I am just scared!! ! I was having trouble deciding what ballast, projectors, etc to use since there are thousands out there. If there was a sheet of these parts that people have used I think it would be a lot easier to do a conversion with ease. I need to just order some parts and start I guess!

Thanks for all you help Rayme you are the the best when it comes to this!! Now I just need to talk you or Vincent into makeing me some

The clear lense seems on the way to my hand, as soon as I get the lense, we can see the final production and I will try to fit to the car and see how it look when the lights on.

Tell ya what, the Ballast/Projector is kinda newer model, what the shop who customized this light stated that, the design and fuction of that Ballast/Projector is same as Mercedes S-Class' one; there is a shutter designed.

There is a wire at the back that could hook to High Beam, if the high beams on, the shutter go further up and the beams just like out of High Beams.

And again, Rayme is the Man, Thx a ton...

[vincent_doggy]

With the Rayme's clear lense on... enjoy

[GTSOwner]

NIGHT SHOTS PLZ!!!!!

[AnaXyd]

Oh my god, that light is awesome. Mass production?

[snakeloa]

Let us see these in action Sorry for the question but where is the difference between a JDM and this one?

[vincent_doggy]

[95st-celica]

wow...very nice work....def. mass production!!! haha that prolly took awhile

[vincent_doggy]

wow...very nice work....def. mass production!!! haha that prolly took awhile

Don't have 2 much headlight left in junkyard in good condition for other project...
So can't be Mass production, unless u just want the kit...

This project begins from here......


The cost for this project...

All four used JDM non-projector headlight = $0 (From buddy)
All 4 Clear Lense = usd$90+shipping
Projectors (Used H7 Bulb) +Angel Eye, 2 in one = usd$180 a pair
24cm Led strip x 2 = usd$30 a pair
Pair of Philips H7 Bulbs = usd$15
Adapter H7 to H1/H4 = usd$15


Tools
Heat Gun= usd$40

Still way cheaper than order another set of JDM Projectors from Japan via dealer.

[95st-celica]

very nice....would you be willing to make me a pair? and if so how much?

[snakeloa]

indeed a very clean and good job so far. How do they light up the road? Have you mounted them allready?

I would be interested as well in a pair

greeting Jörch

The kit would be cool!!! I just don't have the time or the resources to get this stuff. I would be up for a kit in a few weeks if you decide to do one.

[95st-celica]

yea if you cant make them then i would def. buy a kit off of you

[vincent_doggy]

Some better pics from my friends better DC...

right on man.........reinventing yourself looks sick!!!!!!!!!!

[Etak28]

so will you be making these because im def interested...?

[Rayme]

I love that audi-look

[nammer]

wow that looks very impressive
you should make these to sell (perhaps have people send their stock lows to you?)
definitely the next best thing in terms of custom upgrades to our car..goood job man!

[Random_Stranger]

Wait, so those are angeleye and they can still project light just as the JDM before? OH Vincent....... Buddy..... You can earn some $$$ making these my friend. Excellent job! I feel like smashing mine up just for you to sympathize with me and do this for me. LOL

[CelicaST_CALI]

SO SICK,id be down for a pair...

[CaliJeff]

X4 !!!! Make em and i'll buy them too.

[AnaXyd]

Oh my god, looks really great! Give us a price for them!

[vincent_doggy]

Guys... I don't have spare headlight for another mod......
TBH... the shop that sold the Angel eye+Projector ballast helped me a lot on this project...

The best thing I could do is help u guys buy these kit and send to ya
Projectors (Use H7 Bulb) +Angel Eye Ballast, 2 in one = usd$180 a pair
24cm Led strip x 2 = usd$30 a pair


The rest of the stuffs... like H7 bulbs, Socket adapter; I think you guys could easily to get in Home Depot, Super Store, Walmart, Canadian Tire...

For the Clear Lenses, RAYME def is the man, he's my Savior......


I would go up to China on coming monday for those kits... PM me if interested

All my money went to fixing my car... so need deposit this time if you want the kit, I am afraid my rest of money get hold up

USD$210 + whatever shipping, would charge exact shipping, normally approx usd$40 for 3KG package

If someone wants to attempt to make these themselves, I got a pair of reflectors (the thing that's inside the housings) here for sale. If you buy these it means if you fubar your attempt you can still revert back to your stock headlight (or if you sell the car)..as this is usually a permanent mod.

Folks, seems this is the final version for this project now... I remove the LED strips, Paint all 4 Plastic pieces of the low beam and high beam and paint it with the body color, it look really nice to me, just like the headlight of a Ferrari style... Try it, u won't be disappointed, sorry for the fuzzy pics thou, enjoy!!

I love it Vincent! If and when I can get the funds, I will be hitting you up for this. I just wish there was a way to sticky this (if you are willing to keep this going) so that this thread may never be lost and for everyone to take advantage of. I really like it though. Great job! Even better than before. Can I ask what happened to your car (how the accident?)?

[vincent_doggy]

you got any front straight pics??? looks sick man

Will take those pics later once my front lip install!!

[Etak28]

would you ever consider starting up your own little thing where we ship our lights out to you and you fabricate this for us? idk if i could let myself screw something up like this

[dustin15brown]

lol im pretty sure vincent just used the jdm projectors..... and Rayme made projectors for people at one point, and i got some from Romas. But he won't do them anymore.. And this is a expensive little project

[95celgt]

Nah dustin, he used s-class benz projectors///

[malpaso]

[shaunrichard]

Okay, so do the highs just have clear lenses on them, but otherwise stock? Also, can you post a how-to for mounting the projectors? Finally, Rayme has mentioned reflectors. How do they come in and are they necessary or just preferred? Thanks for the info.

the reflectors is the stock peice in the headlight, you bolt the projectors onto it and thus destroy it. I just happen to have a pair for sale .

For my high, just removed the stock glasses lense, remove the plastic piece(not the chrome like one)... I dunno what's that call, the stock color looks like grey or silver, remove those, 2-3 screws and a click, very easy to remove, then spray those with body color... let those dry then install back...
then Rayme's clear lenses...
High Beams mod are very easy

Did you turn your grey car into a white car?!?!?!

[vincent_doggy]

Did you turn your grey car into a white car?!?!?!

Used to be silver, just didn't wash car much....
Yes, its now in pearl white, not so pearl thou

[drmonk3y]

hope i'm not going off topic here ... but got an idea when vince talked about taking the plastic bit out and spraying it body coloured ~

Just out of curiosity ... with the plastic 'trim' bit in the headlights ... they don't do anything for the luminosity of the lights do they ? Like if I were to mod my stock ones (take out the plastic, spray them black) my lights wouldn't be any dimmer would they ?

Not off topic at all... I don't think that plastic trim do anything for luminosity of the lights... U can paint anything u like...
But without clear lense... just don't waste your time... our old stocked fuzzy lenses couldn't let u see from outside...

Nice plug.

[Daftboy]

not sure if its my cup of tea =/

[samir0189]

I think this looks good, I think it would look better if the plastic trim you painted was smooth instead of bumpy like it is. Is there a reason it has all those grooves?

[Daftboy]

Thats how the lights are...look in yours you'll see

[tomazws]

Yes, its now in pearl white, not so pearl thou

Your car looks AWESOME in white... or pearl white
It's prolly pretty cheap to spray a car huh? Labor in HK should be way cheaper than the US....

[pinpointsnipe]

where'd you get that lip from?

[gt_driFFter]

I like the colormatched "ring"! Do you plan on getting shrouds for the projectors or going HID?

I wish I could use HID, but its illegal here... unless those HID are stocked items for newer cars...

[vincent_doggy]

Another set that Paint Black and with the Black Projectors Ballast

[bccentaur3]

vincent how come you won't make copies of the lenses and sell them? Not sure Rayme is still making these though.

[vincent_doggy]

vincent how come you won't make copies of the lenses and sell them? Not sure Rayme is still making these though.

My pairs and my friend's (Black One) pair are using Rayme's Lenses...
Can't say perfect, but nearly perfect in my eyes, I am satisfactory with that...
How come you ask such question? I don't have skills for that... and don't wanna waste time to source...

[bccentaur3]

well I wasn't sure if Rayme was still making them

[vincent_doggy]

My buddy's one, same component, but the ballast in Black and paint black

[GriffGirl]

That looks really good - what did he use as a shroud? Did he custom make one, or did he have one for those projectors? I'm about | | <--- that close to doing a projector retrofit, and I'm still looking for the perfect material to make a shroud with.

[vincent_doggy]

Don't get it, what do u mean by shroud? U mean housing or what? Everything is stock, just need to drill holes to fix the projector ballast, and use spray paint to paint all the plastic pieces in Black

[GriffGirl]

The shroud is the part that goes around the projector housing so it's not visible. Are those JDM projectors that were modified in that picture w/the black painted reflectors, or are they non-projector lights that were retrofitted with projectors?

ic, of course used non projector lights and retrofitted with a aftermarket projector ballast

[snakeloa]

Hello together, hello vince.

Today i started to retrofit some headlights.
I got the glass off very easily. 120°C in a steam oven 5 Minutes and then just slightly use a knife or a palet knife or so.


Then i took the headlights apart. No problem.

I then started to dremel out the inner circle of the refelctor.
see picture:


then i tried to get it a little square...



But now before i go further i have got a few questions.

1) How much should the projector itself look out on the backside of the reflector?




2) At the projector itself is there a left and a right one? They both look the same.


3) At the projector there is this metal plate which covers a part of the light. You know. But when the projector gets attached will this metal plate be on the upper site or on the bottom of the Projector? I gues on the upper site like this:


Please answer to all questions. Thank you.

Joerg

[kagemidnight]

is it possible to get a pair of angel eyes/halo rings inside my low beams with out turning them into projectors? I just love the halo ring when it's lit and want them so bad!

[yagamius]

there you go....a how to create angel light halo

How to create Angel light halo

[vincent_doggy]

But now before i go further i have got a few questions.

1) How much should the projector itself look out on the backside of the reflector?


I don't have spec for this, sorry


2) At the projector itself is there a left and a right one? They both look the same.

Both are the same, no matter which one left and right, both are for left hand Drive, I mean the beam direction

3) At the projector there is this metal plate which covers a part of the light. You know. But when the projector gets attached will this metal plate be on the upper site or on the bottom of the Projector? I gues on the upper site like this:


There is 2 wires out of the projector, hook it to any 12v source, u will see the motor make the metal plate flip down, and let the beam strike higher to serve as high beam

So. should be sit at the buttom, try it before fix it mate

[block]

not feeling it. i love the styling of the jdm ones already.

[MrAyasli]

Do you still make these?

Is there more pics?
