So I don't know if this will really take off or if it will flop instantly...but I'd like to try.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm obsessed with lights. Call it a waste of time if you want but I know I'm not the only one here who loves a good light setup.

I've seen some pretty sick combination's of lights here on 4th gens, and I want to see some more. Whether you're like me and you're making the best of what you can..or you haven't found exactly what you want yet..or you've got it how you want it and you're willing to show it off.

Post some pics! And for bonus points...please..explain what you have going on and where you got it!

I personally have been trying to find some solid super white bulbs for my stock cornerlights and sidemarkers..

Anyways, we'll see how this thread does..I just wanna see some cool pictures.

 

Park lights...



Signals...



Park lights and signals...



One-piece Cefiro headlights, modified J30 projectors, single xenon 6000k HIDs(yes I know, no I dont care), amber and white LED strips, stock fogs with 3000k HIDs.

 

^^^I like that set up JNCoRacer.. Where did you get those led strips from? Are they a dual color strip,or 2 diffrent color strips?

 

Those are beast... You should produce a few and sell them to me.

 

Haha this is a cool thread I was wondering what other people did for their corner lights and such. I will grab some pictures and post them up to share.

 

Beautiful light setup....wish I had the time to produce something of that quality. I know retros aren't cheap though, most that perform them need to charge around $5-600 that will actually perform the retros for you.

 

I LOVE THIS THREAD!! Haha. I have like $1,500 invested just into my lights. And soon, LED tails will be added to the setup.

Headlights:

• OE Glass Lense Headlights from EBay
• Acura TL Bi-Xenon Projectors
• E46 Shrouds
• ZKW Replica Lense
• DDM Tuning 55W 6000k Digital HID Kit
• TheRetrofitSource.com Bi-Xenon Harness
• Made by gtr_rider (highly recommended)

Fog Lights:

• EBay 35W 3000k H3C Digital HID Kit

Picture - See 2nd to Last Picture Above

Rear Lights:

• Soon to be LED'ed (3 row) tails (just brakes) by Kzoosho

• LED Strip for Rear License Plate Light

Bro, you need switch back LED's for your corner light so it matches the LED strip when it's blue (not turning) and is amber when your blinker is on (amber).

Very cool thread. I am just getting into maxs and this helps to get good ideas to what I may or may not want to do to it....keep them coming! Nice cars all.

 

I am obsessed with light too. and I always wanted to get the LEDS and such but that Guy on the classifieds sucks bad at responding to emails and orders so I didnt' want to buy off him. Eventho he has good prices. It is just not worth it.

 

I get all of mine from VLeds (http://www.v-leds.com/) and besthongkong.com (my rear license plate light). Awesome quality, last a long time.

 

Haha, Autozone. 2 separate stips. I used to have just white ones in them, but added the amber strips for the signals.

I could probably do that. I've done several retro's before.

Thanks for the link. I've been meaning to do something like that, just havent gotten around to it. And your lights look awesome!

 

This is where I'm at now. Still a work in progress. Got something crazy coming soon. It's something no one has done yet.




Catera H1 low-beam projectors
MDX H11 high-beam projectors

Ilyak,

are your corner lights and sidemarkers LED's?

 

Nalc! Can we get a picture of your car with the lights on? Because it.... turns, ME on

 

These are all jumbled from different retrofits I've done for myself and for other people on the forums

 

I'll ***** it up with my retrofit pics some more. Hopefully provide some inspiration to prospective lighting modders.

THis thread is dope!!

 

No sir. Just regular Walmart amber bulbs. I have Euroclear Lights, so they make them look bright and great.

 

10,000k fog hid and 10,000k hid headlight and gen 11 altezza led tail lights

 

Are you speaking of the Lexor 1 bulbs? If so you can find them on Ebay.

 

Thats so funny, I also used E46 OEM shrouds. I see you cut them quite a bit to fit lol. I did the same, I thought I'd regret squeezing them in the R34 housing but it came out ok. I'll post some pics soon.

 

gtr_rider did my retro.

Here's some pictures I took today:

 

Cool pics in the snow...You must stay near the northpoll...

 

Seems like it sometimes. lol.

 

Reading is power.


*is waiting on IlyaK's shipment so he can mount his fogs and post his stock setup*

 

^^ what he said.

 

oh gee thanks

 

Where did you mount your ballast for your fog kit? I had hid fogs and got rid of them; the ballast kept getting wet from car washes.

 

They (the wires) were long enough so I snaked the wires up under the headlights (both sides) and put them right on the body of the car. Worked out perfect. I too had a 6000k set like a year and a half ago that got wet because I had it mounted on the body right by the fog.

 

Yup, thats what I did. I was at the mercy of the length of the wires. I have to look into the set you have, they look really good.

 

These are the ones I got:

What are Euroclear Lights?

My sidemarkers are aftermarket clears from Ebay, they look about like yours...but the corners are stock 96..and ugh...they look ugly no matter what bulb is in there.

 

Nice thanks for the link. Those wires don't look long enough though. What's the length of the wires that came with your kit? They would have to be at least 3' or more to mount them in an area where they wont get wet.

 

That was the term for them back in the day. I guess you can call them 'crystal clear' now.

They are probably a foot and a half. Maybe 2. I'm just guesstimating.

They are just long enough to set the ballast on the body of the car where the headlight grounds go into (on the passenger side). On the driver side, I shoved it in between the battery and the fuse box since neither of those really move.

 

heres mine. This is an older pic, I recently re did my retro with different shrouds.

TL projectors with real ZKW lens swap
Valeo 9005 halogen projectors for DRL

 

AHH I see, thats still way longer than my old Helio hid kit I had. Damn wires were only about 1' long.

 

Post a picture of your ZKW cutoff. I wanna see how much sharper it is compared to my ZKW Replicas. lol.

 

I extended my wires so they'd reach up to behind the headlights. First set got wet and ruined so I used the wires from that set, extended the wires, and plugged them into the new set.

 

The worry I have is you can't close the lid on the actual bulbs (the stock lid). And the one that comes with the kit is too small. So basically, the back of my fog light is wide open. You guys have any ideas for that? Or just leave it? I figure water won't get into the fog light from the back cause by the time it gets done going into the car, it'll be too late to 'go back' (physically speaking - unless I'm going in reverse lol)
