my buddy painted his 2K2/2K3 housings black

Looks hot as F***

Nathan if you see this

 

umm....I think like 200-250.

I broke a couple rings trying to put them in so it mine was more. I think total i paid like 310 when everything was installed.

 

yeah, his maxima does look really good,
i'll have to look around a lil bit more and see how it looks on other maximas...
but thanks
huso

 

everyones rides look hot, except for this one

 

But it is really nice

I will get it when i have money

 

hey guys, im thinking about buying the halo's ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/00-03...spagenameZWDVW ) for my car, they are projectors too, i heard they arn't that great. Does anyone know anything about them, and plus how do i do the wiring once i install them since there is only a parking light and headlight in the stock headlights? thanks guys!

 

always glad to see a on the ORG

Depending on the color of your car I would suggest considering the AE mod as well. I myself like the look of the Halo projectors, but some i'm sure some would say it looks too ricey. Either way IMO I think every car is unique and you should consider your options and preferences.

Things like:

What you're looking for (good output? cosmetic looks?)
Cost (headlight mods can get pricey sometimes)
Time
Whether you want to do it yourself or if you're looking for help. I'll be in the ATL area in Mid-march for my spring break if you're looking for help. There's a lotta ATL peeps on here too so don't hesitate to ask.

im not a newbie haha, i have another account thats messed up, but how would those lights look ricey, to me they look luxurious. Im going for the luxury look on my car, but someone told me those projectors dont give out good light.

 

Angel Eyes? DDEs? Pics?

 

ressling is right, everyone needs to cater to their own opinion. If you like the look of the projectors by all means go ahead and buy them.

As an owner of those projectors I'll be the first to tell you that the problem with those lights is the BEAM PATTERN caused I think by cheap projector lenses. The light output is bad because the lenses throw away light and put it in the wrong places, what I'm trying to say is that they dont concentrate the light very well. This is why you have people retrofitting the lenses themselves with Acura or BMW lenses which I'm going to be doing this summer.

As for your question about the installation...they are pure plug and play...when you take out your OEM lights and look at the connections you'll see what I mean...you wont have any problems with the install and if you have any more questions feel free to PM me. Before you buy you should know that you will have to soder the angel eye power lines directly to the parking light on the new projectors, as they dont come fully attached. As I said if you have any more q's PM me.

 

hey man dont attack him like that, the guy had a question, answer it if you know it if you dont u do not have to be mean to the guy.....
you know how you felt when ppl were making fun of your ebay (hood, fenders and body kit) so pls dont be mean to others.
thanks

he had a question?

where?

what was it?

 

i cant PM or post topics, it says i dont have pirmission or something, but does it give out better light than regular stock headlights without projectors?

also, if you put a regular bulb in the projectors, does the projector change the color?

 

what are the chances of ruining your HID's trying to install the DDEs? i hate the thought of sticking my HID's in the oven.

 

Might be off topic, but can we special request any color from umnitza???

Yellow is really fly icelandmaxima, btw.

 

No, the light output is worse. As for the projector, the color of the lens only affects how it looks during the day when light from the sun hits it...If you are running standard 3200k halogen bulbs, at night even with the so called "ion blue lens" it will still appear EXACTLY as 3200k yellowish-light.
BTW. the clear lens looks CLEAR during the day..the blue one looks DARK, almost BLACK during the day, it depends which look you like more. But, as I said the color of the lens does not change the color of the light in my experience with these projectors.

 

i cant find any light housing without projectors with black housing?, so do you recommend projectors or no?

 

There are two things that you can do:
1. buy black headlights from ebay and contact Dr.Roy about retrofit and check his cardomain site on how to do it, and if you have ***** you might try to do it your self, here is the link to his cardomain website
---- http://www.cardomain.com/ride/578450
2. other thing that you can do is buy some 02/03 OEM maxima headlights, open them and paint them black, it shouldnt be hard....I've done it on 00 headlights and it wasnt hard at all, i'll be doing it on 02/03 headlights really soon, prbly next week......I like the black projector headlights look, and i'll make the 02/03 headlights look like it, and i'll have to get some angel eyes....
but good luck

Yes those are the Hella optilux 2500's.

 

Do any of you guys know if Umnitza came out with a cold weather ballast mentioned in another thread to resolve the cold weather start up problems? I would like to upgrade to the new predator line but if there are problems during the cold and the color is pinkish, I see that as a downgrade.

 

Yeah I'd like to know the same thing. Both sides of my umnitza angel eyes have not been working for over 1 year and I gave up on them. They just cannot handle the cold winter months.

When they were working:

 

damn dude, those are phat, are those after market, if so where did you get them?

 

I was having the same problems with my ddes. I thought it was the ballast, and put a new one in. Turned on the lights, same problem, so I took out the quick connects and soldered those, and that helped a little. But I have found out that if I start my car and let it run for about two minutes, all the rings will turn on with no problems. Coldest I have seen down here is 25 degrees F.

 

Yup I tried the same thing. I bought 2 new ballasts from Matt and they worked for a couple months, but eventually they stopped working. I might try soldering them and see if that helps. Where I am, it sometimes gets down to 5 degrees F or colder.

 

Yea when I took off all the tape I noticed that those copper connectors were quite corroded. I think thats a big part of the problem

 

You shouldn't have to go through all that for a product to work. I have the original angel eyes, the drivers side bulb has been out for about 4 months now, the replacement bulbs he sell are not as bright and are about $50 for the set. Like I stated before, I would like to do the upgrade, but I don't want to invest another $100+ and it only works have the year. Is there anything we can do to keep the ballasts warm or from getting so cold during the winter months?

 

my friend got the angel eyes for his 01 maxima but they are not projectors, he said he found them on ebay, i cant find any on ebay without the projectors, he has a black housing in the lights too, those are what i am looking for since i am getting bad feedback on the projectors, anyhelp

 

Hey at least they say MINOR cold startup issues on their webpage...

 

I just got off the phone with umnitza, he stated he does have new cold weather ballasts, they are $35 for the set. He stated if you are buying the angel eye package, you specifically have to request the cold weather ballasts. He stated there were some changes from the regular ballasts to the new cold weather ones, but didn't state what they were. Still good news!

 

Hey Nathan why are your Hellas's light beam is so dull? My are so much brighter. BTW are your angel eyes on those still work, mine are but not as bright as they were new?
Tell you the truth, when I bought my car I was looking for the new fogs and I found your profile on domain. I noticed that you had those Hella fogs, and that's how I went with mine. Over all I like them. Great fog lights.

 

Not good news because I just bought 2 new regular ballasts!

 

Ask to exchange them.

 

Already installed... im far to lazy to even try. I had to fight Umnitza for my second ballast. I ordered it on December 22nd and just recieved it last week after numerous emails.

 

i need 200 dollars fast, what the hell can i do to get that money???????? i want my halo projectors asap :-)
