[Ronin 09]

I'm going to work on them tomorrow so will have a bunch of pics on the weekend!

hey great stuff so far!

instead of using those pissy leds, have you considered trying out a 5w luxeon led?? they are hell bright

hey steve, i like that you can see each LED.

i tested them on 12V and it is about 3x brighter than stock parkers.

will take a pic tomorrow and post it up...

cheers

[PHATR32]

okies!

[Ronin 09]

OK, got some more pics.

The trim pieces cleaned up with a sand blaster to remove the chrome

After masking and painting and screwing it up about 5 times...

The headlight lens masked up to black out the edges

Finshed products

And how it sits at the end...

Nice work on the masking. It's one of those 'measure twice, cut once' things

Looks good Marcus

lookin good mate... can't wait to see the finished product

[Ronin 09]

still dangling the carrot...

found these even more ricey headlights on Yahoo... not conversion to HID but shows what a black surround looks like

they went for the 5 series BMW 'halo' type light as well...

PS and I don't like the way the LED park lights are circular... I think it takes away from the 'stockness' of the retrofit...

mmmmm Angel eyes .... would love to do this on my R34, but the circular style just wouldn't suit unfortunately

Hey Ronin, i found another out of it set on yahoo... Im in the mix of finding a set of the angel eyes, in white!Any idea were to get them or what size they use.

Cant say i like the big cluster of LEDs hanging out the the parker , myyyaahhhh!

Or the strip on the headlights i found! but the angel eyes anr something that wuld look cool!

where did u guys find angel eyes? i wouldnt even mind if i could get the the parts and convert my originals over but i reckon they look nuts. gotta agree with u ronin, the parkers do look crappy...

Heheheheh got 2 sets on their way fron japan....

If anyone has melted a RH headlight but still has the glass, please give me a yell. Damn stone flicked up and put a hole in my headlight glass.

Thanks

You may want to consider getting a set of those clear perspex ones. Newer design headlights are perspex because it is less likely to crack from a stone.

why 2 sets? does i get 1??

[Ronin 09]

almost there

just need to figure out how to access the rear as the HID sits too far forward in the assembly to get the plug onto... plus there is no way the rear access is big enough diameter...

[AzzurrA]

damn, that looks good

[arep3]

yea! that looks sweet as

[Ronin 09]

well thanks to Troy (ylwgtr2) for buggering around with the plug so we don't have to butcher the back of the housing.

Fired them up for hte first time last night - they look awesome - but didn't have my camera...

so we'll have finished pics on the car when the car gets assembled

so close now...

I'd love to try this as well. My questions are:

Is it easier & cheaper to source a set of GTR headlights from importers such as Slidewise Imports, or source them locally?.

What projectors would you recommend eg S200, Accord, Euro etc??? i.e. is there any differences between honda projectors & car models??

I already have a set of H3C HID's fitted (not happy with them though), do all R32 GTR lights take this fitting??
