I finally have time to start this, 05 or 06 acura MDX projectors goin in with 6000k HID kit



bend the metal tabs to remove the adjusting bracket

mark and start cuttin

tried to melt the headlight apart and it didt work so had to break the rim apart to get to the glue

some cuts after the test fit









just got to adjust and lock it in then build the shroud

looking nice. gonna do double projectors? and how are you doing the shroud?

just one projector for now, shroud will area filled with good stuff foam then 1 or 2 layers of fiber glass, then spray glue carbon fiber with no resin and angel eyes

well.....post up pics of the progress....I would be interested to see your foaming process....doesnt sound like the best way to do it, but if it turns out nice, then thats what matters...

Man, if this turns out good i wanna try this for the cav!! Lookin forward to more pics!!

Wow lookin good man. Nice to see someone with some balls to cut up their lights. Thats the only thing preventing me from doing it.

same thing here, I'm trying to find another pair of stock ones to do it on haha

well heres an up date i got the angle right for now and about to seal the back and mount it in place, im not gonna use foam for the shroud because it will take too long to cure and fiberglass will just eat it so ill just lay masking tape down in the shape i want and hit it with one layer of glass then CF

i think its impossible to take 03+ sunfire headlights apart without cracking the entire lip off


Kill list:03 eclipse, 06 GTO, 04 Mach 1 Mustang

what kind of angel eyes did you get ... ccfl ?

how are you planning on sealing up the back end of the projector that is outside the housing ....
how are you going to seal the socket to prevent water from getting @ it ...



now on another note........... kudo's for you for goin out an starting these up .... alot of people wouldnt try this

next .... led turn signals

I made my own with acrylic rods and leds, I wish i would have bought ccfl but another time when i decide on doin highbeams

lots of high temp silicon

how are you going to seal the socket to prevent water from getting @ it ...
lots of high temp clear silicon

Good start, just make sure the lens fits on good before you start making the glass piece.

Kudos to you, ive done some crazy projects on my car but dang thats scary hard stuff, show me the end result when youre done. Good luck, doesnt look like you need it though.

I want to take my headlights apart in my 03 sunfire to paint some areas on it a glossy black but i dont want to break the housing apart thats the only thing thats stopping me, i want to do the same to my front turn signals

bolted and angled perfect



shroud was cake, all i got left is to trim and paint the shrod and layer CF and were done with one side

the foam doesnt take long to cure, and glass wont eat thru it

hmm

question... i would like to go with highs painted gloss black and lows CF, but i dont want any attention or any b.s. from cops, even tho some cars come with black, think i would get carp for it?


Kill list:03 eclipse, 06 GTO, 04 Mach 1 Mustang

update... gotta make a shroud and adjust aiming, then nite shade all other lights







Kill list:03 eclipse, 06 GTO, 04 Mach 1 Mustang

It doesnt look bad without a shroud, IMO. I'd be happy and roll out as is

Looks great.

I don't think anyone would give you a fish for having black headlights.

Anyway, if it's high gloss, you should be fine, because it will reflect well enough. Depending on your budget for the project, I'd consider having it done in black chrome.

Nice job so far. The CF shroud should finish it off nicely.
It's a little hard to tell from pics, but it looks like it might be cocked a little bit. Is your cutoff line level when they're on the car?

shrouds are a bitch i just spent about an hour in homedepot looking for something that would work..........nothing

looks goo btw just need a bezel :p

GOOD WORK! let me know how it all turns out, as i am interested in this myself...
