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 http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/8...oto0014jc3.jpg http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/7...oto0015jx3.jpg Notice the brightness difference, even in daytime, and the inside ring not installed yet. |

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 -_-

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 ...
