well, i know they're amateurish! but if ppl start complaining about the price, why not go ghetto, w/ enough work you can get it done. BTW sorry for the post, i didn't mean to flame your product, i think it's pretty high quality.

 

no flame intended, no flame received
I think your car looks good, BTW. But, the rings need some work.
One thing that we've noticed - doing this for 2+ years now - is that no matter what, one fact will always remain the same - you get what you pay for in almost every instance

We've had much competition out there, but nothing compares. I've driven many cars, and only when you drive the best cars, do you realize why the price premium. But, no one disparages the other cars, it's just a different product. For example, drive a dodge neon and then drive Toyota Corolla, two cars that are seemingly in the same price category, but the Toyota is always 4K more - because it's better quality.

 

Okay since no one wants to ask this question I will.

What makes you think you can put angel eyes on this assembly without cutting the beam pattern at all? There is no way to do it. Reason being is that I have analyzed these lamps for hours and yes I have cracked this bad boy open.

If you put ANYTHING on the inside of the reflector it will cut the beam. If you plan on putting it on the outside of it to save the beam pattern, tell me how you plan on getting around the fact that the low and high beam SMACK each other? Aint no way you getting a fiber optic tube around that without cutting beam pattern.

Case closed.

Sorry if this sound hard, but it cant be done. We DO NOT have projection style lamps to enable no beam pattern loss.

I don't think we need to approach this from an antogonistic point of view.

What made us think we could do it?

Simple, it has 0, none, zilch, zippo effect on your headlights beam pattern. We have installed these on lights with: reflective pieces, non-reflective peices, inside the lens over, outside the lens cover, on self-leveling, on HID w/ Self Leveling, on ellipsoid lights, on non-ellipsoid w/ no lens light.

At least 1 of the above covers your style of headlight. Manufacturers are like sheep - once one does something, the others will follow. They design all their cars in the same 20-30 square mile area of LA, so it's not like they are getting too many unique perspectives.

I think the 5th gen maxima's are no different.

Anyone want to help me acquire a broken maxima light and I'll prove it? Just tell me where I can get one? I don't want to spend more that $50 to acquire one - are there salvage yards?

Somebody show me some pictures so that I can mark it up for you

 

Im not saying what I said in a badazz way. I do not believe it can be done without cutting the beam pattern. Anytime you put anything in the beam pattern that is loss of light on the road. Right now everyone REALLY appreciated how the 2k2 assembly has one of the best beam patterns of any car. Very flat beam design gives great visibility and no glare for oncoming drivers.

post me some pictures.

I doubt the beam pattern on the Maxima is better than:
Audi's, BMW's, Mercedes. Even not considering HID as an option.

Acura TLs have a great pattern.

Can someone post pictures and I can mark it up.

BigDOg, can I ask you to take a digicam pic of your headlights and let me take a look? One from the top of your engine, etc. I just don't want to go to the local dealer here, but if I ahve to I will.

 

hey, sorry i've been too busy. havne't been on a computer in a few days due to some other issues, but i've finally caught up on some things.
umnitza, i do have an extra headlight. want me to send it...here's pictures.

That should be sufficient for you to do what you need.

And you might want to think twice about thinking the TLs has a better beam pattern. I been in my friends and dont think it does. It scatters all over the place and blinds oncoming drivers. I had an aftermarket HID kit in my regular 2K1 housing and let me tell you, I lit up the road 4x better than the 2k2 assembly ever could, BUT it came with a price of blinding EVERY oncoming driver. There is a correct way and a wrong way to aim lighting. Doesnt mean all manufacturers are abiding by them.

UPDATE: Polo is going to send me his damaged headlight. Upon further work, I'll let you see some pictures and what not.

Here's an example of my wife's E38 which I finished up this weekend.
I posted some pics in the 7 series forum, but it's absolutely wicked what they look like when completed!

wt.f is this thread doin on the first page?!

 

i have seen people withh 00-01 maxima's saying they want this but can the angel eyes work in a non HID housing

 

DDE work in any housing 2002+.
What is up with the 2000-2001 housing is that it's not well designed for this.

 

i thought so. it would look kind of weird having and oval angel eye but it was worth a shot to see if yall had thought about it/ done it. thanks anyways

 

Where did this thread get life again ?
