damn, do I have to come by to pick the dimmers up or can we arrange some way to ship it to me?

 

I think I already gave them to you and told you that no one wants them
they are the little round things.

 

How awesome would these Angel Eyes look with the upcoming LeftCoast Tuning eyelids?

http://forums.maxima.org/forumdisplay.php?f=10

 

They would look HORRID IMHO.
Please don't post *****.

 

they would make the angel eyes look better by covering up those huge gaps. you would just have to chop that little point off though!

 

I don't have 'em
I installed everything that was in the box...

 

Sorry, those ugly ricer things will never touch my car

Then why don't you post some pictures....

 

Sorry to hijack this thread but I think tht Left Coast Tuning has edited their eyelid thread and the new eyelid pics don't have icicles. They are however have a bulge at the outer ends. Go and check it out.

 

Word of Warning:

One of my Angel Eyes came broken via shipment & while testing one of the angel eyes I broke one. Be VERY gentle. They are fragile! I already had to pay for another one

 

so I guess my testing procedure worked out for you?

yeah carfull, they are VERY fragile.

 

Haven't got around to fixing up my cardomain yet. I'm a lazy azz.
Some pics in the west coast forum in the thread about the latest Norcal meet.

 

just post them here

As a donating member, you can attach pics

 

yea it worked out...except i wasn't careful enough & cracked a smaller ring right in half....

 

there goes $25

 

Sorry to hear about that

 

Hey, it's really not that fragile.

It's probably 5% of the rings will be broken by the installee, that's not that bad and we are working to resolve that

 

umnitza, Interested in purchasing a set of "DDE Lightning". Drop me a line at jae-r@snet.net Thanks.

 

My package didn't go out until 1/12. Hope it gets here soon...

Does anyone have the new Installation Video? I haven't been able to access it with the sn and pw that Umnitza provided.

 

Well I got mine today, but two of the rings broke.Here's the pics I just toke.

The box shoulda have Label Caution Very Fragile,cause if you don't,god know what those Fedex guy will be do with it. Well umnitza I'll get back to you when I came back from Florida this Sunday.

 

ok! We will ship you replacement rings.

To explain, though I realize it's a bit hard here, we had 2 options:

1) delay shipping and let me handle all of the packaging in which case you'd have my head for not shipping

2) ship and hope that my manufacturing facility would label it fragile. The fedEx people annoying!

Sorry. We will send new rings to everyone.

Just double check the color and we'll get you the right ones

 

Please, as a gentle reminder, if you didn't see the above post, let us know which rings they are with the same kind of picture

 

Just got mine today, no problems w/breakage.

Is there any way to test these indoors? It's way too cold outside

 

A power source of 12volts get it at radio shack for 39 bucks

 

your own battery is a 12V.

 

Ilya, you should change the bulbs in your parking lights, hey look brown. The DDEs would look better!

 

Just got mine, first inspection - they seem to be alright. I'll check them tomorow after class.

 

matt- its mannynj2k2max- i installed the rings- they were bench tested- were fine- but now one side looks purple (and dim)and the other side looks fine- whats up?

 

Matt, I installed my angel eyes about 2 days ago. Everything was fine, all the lights were the same color. Well tonight, I looked at my lights and i noticed one wasnt turned on. I look under the hood and there was smoke and sparks coming out of the black connector at the end of the white wires coming out of the black box ( i guess the ballast). Whats up with that?????? every other light is fine. Is there some kind of warranty on the ballast or faulty wiring on the manufaturers part.

 

make sure you have the black wire touching a ground place, a good one you might have to scratch the paint in some cases....

 

nevermind...turned the car on and they warmed up right away...man these things are bright....had like 4 cars pull up next to me jockin' my shyt at a light-

 

I had the same exact problem when I first installed mine...IGOR911 did as well, and he came up with the solution..its all in the connectors (black clips, male/female ends), simple solutions is to cut the connectors and hard wire the wires together..for some reason the black connectors are "doodoo" and somehow block most of the current..I did it and dont have that problem anymore..

 

yup! i did the same....those connectors were crap....

 

Really? Mine were the opposite...i thought they were so bright! I drove with the angel eyes and fogs on for a while on tonight before i realized that teh road should look alot brighter.....oh yea! NO HID'S! Mine are real bright. Maybe cuz it's on a white car? I like'm, got tons of compliments...thanks Matt!

 

ok Matt i got my replacement rings & now the one of the 'black box' (see pic below) appears to be defected....every angel eye i connect to it it doesn't work...every time i connect angel eyes to other 'black box' it works....i need a replacement on this ASAP....i'll call u tomorrow...hopefully your open so you can send out monday or tell me what to do!

thanks

 

DAMN! yes, we have one in stock.

But Monday is a MLK holiday.
So, Tuesday we can ship. We'll overnight.

 

There is a lot more to it than connectors, what you've done is a mere band aid

1) Is your battery old - 2-3 years isn't that old, but it might not be fully charged at start up. Usually within 1 minute it will be better once the alternator gets fully fired up.

2) You need to make sure all the connections are fully inserted. The pins might not be in all the way inside the clam shells or you might have a bad connection from the relay to the ballast.

3) Check to make sure there isn't any cross talk amongst the wires. Due to the insulation of them, the wires crossing over each other will "take" voltage from the other wire and force only one ring to go bright.

4) Check to make sure you didn't cross (common and easy thing to do) the wire from one ring into a connector with the wire from another ring into the same connector.

5) If it's been cold, they will simply not fire up right away, this was documented from the get go, and all you have to do is turn on your headlights for a minute at most.

6) The "final answer" to all this is the following - we have a voltage regulator built into the red wire from the ballast. You can remove that (as it helps the ballast receive proper voltage) to allow more voltage to hit the ballast. We don't know what affect this may have on longevity, we don't recommend it, but it's an option if all else fails. If you do this, and 1 year down the road, it breaks, we won't replace it. But if you do this and 30-60 days later it breaks, we will replace it.

 

Everyone: I saw these in person on Manaz101's car last night. They are 10 times better than the pics show. After seeing them, I'm ready to order as well.

Umnitza: How should I go about ordering a set?

 

ill try that but i switched to the other set of wires and it worked fine. No smoke or fire there.

 

Playero, it didnt work. The wire is still burning

 

Can i get a ballast sent to me too. Just one set of wires is bad. When i switch to the other set on the same ballast there is no burning and the light that was out turned on. so im guessing the wiring in the ballast is bad.
