n3985 now has CCFL angel eyes!
 

Ever since I did my retrofit using eBay headlights which came with crappy LED angel eyes, I've wanted CCFL. Now that I am out of school, I finally did it! Also, painted the inner trim to gunmetal to match my new wheels :D

Here is a teaser pic

If you have the eBay headlights, tell the guy you need the same rings as me. (silver Infiniti I35)

Looks good, but more pics please :) especially made during the night :)

Congrats on finding the CCFLs, I know you've been wanting them for awhile now!

Ya, it's been a rough ride too. Originally though the eBay rings were 3", so I custom ordered 76mm CCFL rings ($120). Those came and I realized I measured the inner diameter, so I needed 10.5cm rings, another $30 to swap. Those came and using them on the projectors, then realized 10.5cm won't fit the highbeam side, so now another $30 to swap those for 9.5cm. Once those I get in, I can finally finish. Add the $10 shipping each time, I spent way too much on some stupid rings -_-

LOL, that's dedication man. But I've been there before...there comes a point where you're going to make it work no matter what the cost, especially after you have so much invested.

looks awesome bro. all that work payed off.

Nice work.

Very nice

how hard is it to take out the stock head lights - wana replace mine with those projector type with the halo's... is there a site with instructions??? any help - will help - thanks

Please refer to stickies and the search function, not trying to be an *** but this type of info is definitely out there. (I know because metaorbit and I typed it many times)

Very nice work...I'd like to do it but I'm sure that my need to make everything perfect would bite me in the ***.

man my retro was hell and still is. I think water has gotten into my custom harness and it flickers or cut off when i hit bumps in the road.

That looks great, man! I can't believe how much money you've put into your car. I'm guessing you just graduated? How's the job search doing?

I have put nothing into my car, except regular scheduled maintenance and service (which has so far totalled $7,000 for the year, I've replaced nearly everything).

Yes I graduated in the summer, now I work for Citigroup in NYC. :D

hey do you know if they make these rings big enough to fit the stock headlight housings? and do you think a normal shop that install car audio can fix them up for me if i get them?

No and no

With the ebay lights, do the angel eyes themselves replace the parking lights? Or do they come with a seperate switch for the angel eyes.

They replace the city light in the headlight.

Thanks

Hey what size are the rings again? the site goes by mm tho. do i have to order custom ones?
projectors= 10.5cm?
highbeams=9.5cm?

Use 95mm for all four.

damn that looks hot. bump for a bad *** thread. great job!

Great work and if it helps,...it was well worth the hassle and money!!

can we get a pic with the headlights on? how is the light output with the am headlights? did you have to adjust them much?

The output was worse than my Maglite, but didn't matter since I swapped projectors.

looks real good, nice work

I think im using the same ones u bought that did not light up at all=x..

was the company Option Racing or BBP Enterprise of something.

yo i got a 01 infiniti i30 and i want to change the headlight to some projector headlights that already have the halo rim ... since you have much more experience at this than me i was wonderin if u can let me know buying those on ebay would be a good deal ...
