ok first comment... some people have to chill and wait to see what they are like when they come out... if you have 50 questions and are not willing to take a chance then don't try to get assurances that these will meet all your needs... just wait and buy them later.

I will buy these once I see a drawing of the layout. I recommend that you DON'T use 9004 beacause they are very bad compared to almost any other style. One piece is almost a requirement for me. I will pay up to $600 for a good design...

 

whew... just read all that post from page 1 to 6...
daymn...
time for my question.
Is it going to replace the Clearence light also?
because I hate it when the two lightings don't match...
and for the HID, do we buy them seperately?

 

Count me in for a set as well. I like the idea of the twin bulb and angel eye. Very nice indeed.....

 

Definately would be interested in the projector headlights! The 5 series suggestions sound the best. Count me in.

 

I agree with theblue... i, as well as many others on this board (I think) but me more than willing to pay extra for a one peice design. It just makes it THAT MUCH better.

 

i'm in for the one piece design... it would be sick...

 

I completely agree. Except about the $600 and the one-peice design. Many here are young and can't blow $600 on some headlights. Maybe you could fabricate both, or, get pre-production samples of both and post pics...If done right 2-peice could still look tight as hell and be alot cheaper..but then again the bimmer lights are beautes..

 

I would be interested but I need to have some kinda pic ar drawing. Will they retain the same shape as factory just with projectors?

 

i have 350 sitting here.. with a piece of paper that says "for cool lights".. let go skippy, get on your horse..

 

Greg was drinking...

 

hey boi - you wanna play you gotta pay

would you rather pay $350 for so so lights or save the extra (how ever long it takes you) to get GREAT lights.

 

id like to keep my 9004. All its gotta do is accept my 9004 HID, and somehow split the harness over to another area, and use regular for highbeams, I guess. but it'd suck to have to buy ANOTHER hid set.

can afford 300, interested, need to see first, of coz.

 

hope they look like this

 

YES YES YES. lol. If they look like the S15 headlights, that would absolutely awesome. I know it's a lot to ask from a 350 pair of headlights, but i would almost rather have higher quality headlights than have cheap crap that looks good but performs horribly. In fact, it might be out of reach right now, but perhaps there could be two versions. A 300 dollar set and a 700-800 dollar set. One would be like the basic APC ones, and the other one's would have like Hella low-beam projectors, with truly functional high beam sets. Maybe the 300 ones could be halogen only and the higher priced one's could have a dedicated setup to go HID, or another longitudenal light source, easily swapped with HID. I don't know, I really want these to come out, but i want something I can have for the life of the car.

 

The main issue is whether or not there will be an inprovement in the lighting. I would like to see sharp beam patterns with good side and foreground illumination. Also a sharp vertical cutoff should exist. HID is optional to me, but I'm sure that many here would want them.

Some have brought up the use of the 90mm modular units by Hella. While these are a very good option, many fail to realize that these lamps use the H9 bulb. This bulb is single axial filament bulb with an angle base (similar to the 9006 and 9005), not available in North America. My suggestion would be projector units that are currently sold by Valeo and Bosch that use the H7 bulb. H7s are used by BMW, MB and VW/Audi in North America are are commonly found in autoparts stores. Another option would be projector units that use the 9006/9005 combination, similar to those units used in Acura 1996-1999 Integras.

 

The makers of those lamps used H3s which are NOT for use in projectors because of their transverse filament configuration.

 

Like X

Are these going to look similer to the ones Shirtboy made? Any pics of Shirtboys projectors on his car?

 

i had 350...where'd it go

 

listen to this man. he knows his lights.

 

Bump...this deserves to be on the first page.

 

I will buy the projector light assembly as long as it accepts HID, with halo. I definitely want HID's, but not for 9004. Whatever the cost, as long as the quality is there. Look forward to it. Thanks.

 

I would rather save it and put it towards college so I can get a good education and grow up to have a highly stable, well paying job that I can make lots of money in so I can buy a real sports car and not a family sedan that has hints of sport like the maxima does.

 

I have the money sitting right here for it. Halos and one piece headlights would definitely own. If you can pull this off, you own all of us. I know 9004s wouldn't be the best design for them, but if an adapter would be possible for the 9004s with the kit that would be nice too for those of us with HID kits already. Just let me know when you are taking orders.

 

or... you can get yourself a real job and pay your way through college... getting an education and still having money for sweet projectors. =)

 

Um, okay?

 

A projector lamp is a type of housing, elipsoidal in nature and is not a type of bulb. For example, a 9006 bulb can be used in a REFLECTOR (complex parabolic) lamp, as in a Honda Accord, or it can be used in a PROJECTOR lamp, as in an Acura 1996-1999 Integra.

Check this pic, it should clear things up:

The one on the right is for highbeam, and a complex reflector lamp, while the one on the left is a low beam lamp, with a projector design. Notice the focusing lens used in the projector lamp design.

 

I definatly would like to get a one-piece headlamp for my Maxi.
Definatly not going to create one though. If this projector idea doesn't work out, I think I might have a new infiniti light or something else molded on...

bump it up.

 

I am working on the one piece right now, we are trying to keep it so that installation in easy.
STAY TUNED!!

 

Hey Greg, when would something like this be available? In the next month or two? Just so I know to have money ready cuz Im gonna be the first to purchase!!!!!!!

 

I have to order several hundred of them in order to keep your price under $400 so that means they cannot come via airmail, they have to come by boat. I am looking at about 6 weeks before they are completed. I will keep you all updated with info and pictures.

 

If you can get these over here, I can get you a lot of sales. I know a lot of people here that have been waiting for something like this. Please post pics as soon as you have a prototype.

 

That is why i am going out on a limb and investing alot of money in these, cause i know you guys all want them.

 

You are the best

 

I will buy it if it will have one 9004 socket for my current hanabi setup and maybe an h3/h4 for the brights, I think that would be great, you should try to come up with two types, just change the dim bub socket to a 9004 for the people with the hanabi HID kits, and something else for the rest, or just dual 9004 that woud be nice and bright

 

9004 is the worst bulb type of all!!!!
that's all

 

But you can't make a projector headlamp using a 9004 bulb. In order to achieve the proper beam pattern, the bulb has to be a single axial filament unit. This means that H3s and H4s won't work either. The best bulbs to use right now would be a pair of H7s. If cost is an issue, a 9006/9005 combo would also be acceptable.

 

I know I just want the hook up for a 9004 so that all of the people who bought the Hids don't have to buy new bulbs for it, a 9004 hid isn't the worst

 

they can sell their HIDs to other members if they want the projectors so bad. why are you trying to make this product worse than it should be

 

Put the money toward school and it will pay later. I can attest to that.
