Yesterday I attempted to install my angel eyes but considering they came with no instructions and no offense but housecor's directions couldn't help me
either cuz I'm an idiot when it comes to hand-ons stuff. So I had the stuff to clear the housings and wanted to get something done yesterday so I did it.
The first one I kinda melted the plastic on the bottom of the housing a lil
cuz I did it for 15mins @250. I also cracked part of the internal housing because the clear plastic I got from tap plastic is just a lil too big and I tried to force it in there. Anyway so I ended up having to use some epoxy to hold both in and you don't really see evidence of it unless you are 6 inches away from the car. Anyway, I also replaced the bulb behind there with some orange ones I got from autolumination.com and I somehow managed to lose one of the LEDs that was in my clearance lights but they were blue compared to the ones I have in the sidemarkers so I'm ordering another set anyway. Coming soon custom clear taillights... enough of me blabbing here are the pics.

 

looks good.. have you considered.. getting hyper whites for your fog lights
or go **** yellow?

 

Looks nice.....I need to do that now...

 

I had piaa super plasma but because I had my fogs on in the winter they cracked and the one bulb blew. So I replaced them with piaa crystal ion.
I wanted my fog lights to actually be fog lights and not just another light.

 

That looks great! I desperately wanna do it to my car, but i'm afraid to screw it up and ruin my HID's. I'm almost at the point of paying someone around here to do it for me.

 

You do have to take out all the bulbs so you shouldn't be afraid to mess those up.

 

looks great.

 

Cool. dba199us is going to help my clear mine and install my DDE's this coming weekend.

Jason, what part number was it for the amber bulbs you got from autolumination?
Or can I just buy them from Autozone?

Thanks

IMO, that mod is the equivalent of red/clear tails for the 4th gen... It looks so much better, I can't understand why nissan didn't do that from the factory.

 

Cause they have 90 year olds making decisions...

 

True True..... and cheap 90 year olds that buy the lower costing MAF sensors cam sensors and crank sensors....etc
-J

 

bahahhahahaha....so true. me--> <--nissan's 90 year olds

 

Looks nice. I need to clear mine out too.

 

When you're ready to do it, let me know. I'll do it with you. 2 brains are better than one.

 

Damn I would have installed the DDE's if you opened your housing, but I guess not everyone is good with their hands.

 

I agree and they should have given us 02ers and 03ers, clear lenses in the rear instead of that orange. They could have/should have did it just like they did the 00/01 SE's.

 

you can buy the clear blinkers from advance auto parts. they are a clear bulb and blink orange. $5.99...

did you unplug the parking lights? i don't see them on????

 

those pics make me hate jersey laws for the license plate in the front...fugly


lights are lookin sweet

 

Looks good, Jason. Join the club........


Pic was taken before the stock wheels were replaced with 18" HP EVO Lightnings

 

Yes I lost one of my LEDs while clearing them out. So I just unplugged them for
now until I get new ones.

 

Dude, those black side markers look SOOO nice.

 

sorry guys. they are clear and do not blink amber. my bad....

 

Does anybody have the right up?

 

Write up to clear the hids???

housecor has great writeups
http://www.innerbean.com/housecor/how_to.html

 

looks nice, but i would have installed the DDE's too if im gonna take the headlight apart anyway.

 

Dag is there anyone in the Philly area that could help me clear and install DDE's?

 

should have black housed them while u were at it!

 

Is there a write-up on how to black out the HID housing? That looks sick! I might as well do it when i clear out the turn signals. (like GeSeKeE19 said)

 

aliti19, I think housecor or studman has a writeup on their page.

 

once the housing is apart, get flat black paint and place couple layers on it...make sure its automotive paint that can hold heat! also make sure you dont spray one area too much or itll streak

 

Hmm....I don't know how a black housing would look on a gray lustre...
hint hint...photoshop anyone please? Thanks.

 

PoLo did it to his Gray Lustre, but I can't find any decent pics of his headlights installed after blacking them out... Ask him to take a pic, he's always happy to help out other org members.

 

i started it at first, but then i stopped. why, i forgot...but i just never did it....
oh wait, now i remember. that was the headlight i sent to umnitza when the angel eyes were first getting done. the only reason i did the "blacking out" was cause it was a spare headlight, and i wanted to test it out.

here are some pics of when i did it to that one headlight, but these are all the pics i have. so don't ask for better or daylight, etc.......

 

so the actual headlights on your car are not blacked out?

 

I think it looks pretty good on a gray lustre. Hmm....

 

After flat black paint, should I apply clear coat?

 

i personally feel that 2 colors that shine may not look as good. that is why i left it as flat black. it'll stand out more. then again, there is really only way to find out.

 

Man, I wanna paint mine so bad.
