good job dustin. those looks pretty awesome. next chance you get, try to take a pic of the lighting on a dark road. but only if you're feeling completely healthy.

I actually have a few pics on my cell phone I think... But I'll upload them later...

[presure2]

you guys are REALLY gonna need to do somthing with the inside shroud...those cellphone pics dont show them well enough IMO.
the lens look good, the inside looks like crap.

i REALLY disagree..... i love the look
ans k-esd nailed the light output

if you're pretty brave... Here's a project for you! http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showto...mp;#entry584975

WOW!!! those are friggin HAWT!!!!!....for a while there, i thought u had JDMs.....GJ!!!

[ILuvMyCelica95]

This is my opinion.

based on the pictures below i think that this is a really bad idea. the first patter evenly distributes the light and the second is like a spot light. Not to mention that the inside of the stock lights are ugly.
I think a lot of people are going to have a problem with these at night.

just my $0.02.

Thank you for your opinion Tina. I originally thought that the inner housings were really ugly until I pic the lense on the car and put the front bumper back on, and now I really like the look. I stand firmly in saying that whoever DOES get these will be surprised at how good they look on the car. As for the light output, yes I agree it's not very good, and I've warned those thinking about getting these. At the same time, those with HIDs should have no problem at all because regardless they're going to be blinding people without projectors.

Dew- so your impressed enough despite the light output to stay on board? I think we have a tester for getting pics of these with HIDs. So we will soon see.

Once again guys, do not feel obligated to stay with these if you truly don't like them or like how the light output is going to look. If there aren't ten people the price just goes up. And if no one wants a set besides me, that's also fine because I just wanted a nice clear set of lenses made incase anything should ever happen to my clear glass lenses!

If someone on the boards (eg: Rayme) would offer an affordable service and/or a nice how-to for projectors then the light output isn't even an issue because you would have projectors

I think that is a very mature and pragmatic attitude and I'd like to thank you for your work so far. I still have concerns but I really feel that the community approach could be a goer. If you can provide the lenses, someone else can provide the HID kits. Maybe someone else will manufacture some (perhaps fiberglass) insides to hold the projector firm and someone else will provide a conversion service - well then we will have a right little production line / cottage industry going on!

Personally, I quite like the industrial look of the projector lenses without the rear shroud but I also understand that look might not be for everyone. It would be nice to have a few different options.

either way this community is getting some new high tech toys. It's only a matter of time until the technique of producing them is refined and offered to everyone.

[ra65_22re]

i think they look great and am still in to buy them.

[jmastaniza]

I just started working full time again after many months of unemployment. I have a few bills I have to catch up on, and I have to buy some tools for my new job at a toyota body shop. But in two or three weeks I'll have the money to buy these. I even have a pair of projectors I took out of a BMW at picknpull, but I think I'll buy an extra pair of low beams before I do that. If it's cool that I use a money order just let me know where to send it and who I am sending it to.

[dustin15brown]

Those of you who are ready to start sending payment will be able to do so within the next couple of days. Money will be going directly to Josh via his website. Thanks guys

[jmastaniza]

How long will these be avalible, and what is the website with his info for sending him the money? I might even buy two sets because I'm getting another set of headlights for free. I want to make one set with projetors in all four, I just need two more projectors.

you want to put 4 HIDs bulbs in your headlights!

[jmastaniza]

Not HIDs just the projetor lens themselves over the stock 9006 and 9005 bulbs. The BMW I took the two projectors out of used the same bulbs so I figure they should work just fine. I just need to figure out how far away from the bulbs the projectors need to be, it shouldn't be hard with all of the tools I have at work. I'll try to take a picture of the lens tonight.

I don't think using just the lens will work.

[jmastaniza]

I put two pics in my profile of the projector I will be using I think they should work without the HIDs but I'll know for sure later on after I order my clear lenses, but I still need to hear back from Dustin about where and who to send the money to.

[ra65_22re]

What web site is offering this to us? Like how do i place my order for the lenses and where/who to give my money to?

[dustin15brown]

Sorry I have been kinda sparse lately... I'm in the process of wrapping up summer and moving back up to college. I'll get everyone their paying information here in a few days if that's ok. Also, I experimented with a few different looks on the lights so i'll keep you guys up to date
