this is a new twist on the "they stole my headlights threads".
I woke up last night to my alarm going off, looked out the window and saw two guys running from my car. got dressed went down stairs to find one headlight missing and the other one broken sitting in front of the car. the ballasts are tucked away deep in the engine compartment, so they fukced the bumper and fender and ruined a good set of RX330 retroed headlights, for a $40 set of bulbs and 2 ignitors that have maybee a $50 resale value.
I am so ticked ..... going back to stock halogen, i cant deal w/ this crap

 

sorry to hear that Dr Roy .Most of us feel your pain

 

man, im sorry, i know you put enourmous amounts of time and effort into that. theres no way to protect something like this either, its too easy and too fast for them to get it done.

 

Sorry to hear that roy. 12 gauge shot gun with Rock Salt Rounds FTW!

 

That really sucks Dr.Roy, are you just going to use OEM's now? or just stock lighting in another set of projectors?

 

i have other sets of of unfinished retros that i can complete and pop in for the time being, but i dont want to deal w/ the worry of weather or not they will get ripped off. as soon as i can i am just going back to stock 00-01 headlights,

 

Doc - Sorry to hear about the bad news. On the brighter side, no one was hurt and your alarm did what it was supposed to and you caught the ****** f-ers running. Some people just wake up and their gone.

Again sorry to hear about that.

 

That sucks man... the projectors do look like HID lights to people who dont know maximas except for the lights. How about the stock 2k with a projector? Those look pretty close to stock right? But I guess better to play it safe than sorry and go back to halogens all together.

 

Sorry to here that Dr. Roy. The more I hear about people having there headlights stolen, the more worried I get that anyone of us could be next.

 

Damn. This is some Bull$ish we go through. As everyone here is, I too am sorry to hear about this. I also know what a pain it is dealing with the sucky output of our stock halogens. But its the price we pay to sleep comfortably. Damn...

 

I feel your pain. It's a shame we can't have anything nice without worrying about people stealing from us.

 

Sorry to hear about the theft. I know you can easily replace the hedlights, but do you need to take your car in to have the bumper and fender fixed? Oh yeah, file a police report too.

 

keep eyes on ebay.....if they do try to re-sell them, they might not be aware of how "custom" they really are....

 

Sorry to hear that story......you did a nice job on those lights. Like you said, it's not even the $$ value, it's the time and effort you spent getting it just the way you like it. I hope those guys get burned one of these days.

 

Sorry to hear about this, dude. That's why I'm sticking with the 5th gen headlights. I even have a pair of 5.5 genners I was starting to work on, they are going up for sale in a week or two.

 

true check on ebay. they might just be sold there again. sorry tp hear though.

 

sorry to hear this......

 

they will just come to this forum and find out...

 

dam that sucks man. I hate thieves a little more than i hate scammers.
