Sucks the bitch gf busted the headlights and tails when you broke up. Why do people seem to have to drag the car into things, it didn't do anything :(
Cause they know we care about our cars, that be the day when gf fucks up my car. She is lookin good though.
thanks, and it is so simple to do.
quick question (to make sure i am correct):
my car is "patriot red pearl" (i think that is the exact name), 2001... my paint code is: R70 right?

just want to make sure before i buy some.. and i can't seem to remember where the codes are posted.

On the firewall. There should be a line labeled color or something to that effect.
update

i have been working on new lights. country runner had a set of depos for sale (chrome) and i decided they were perfect for what i wanted to do...




they are not done... as you can see i didn't put the lenses on yet, and i need to hide the wire on the high beam.. but you get the idea.
CCFL dual halos, and red led demon eyes. plus they are super black.

and BTE, in case you are wondering: i am powering that picture with them plugged right into a molex connector on my PC.

Oh wow that looks awesome. Want!
thanks. they don't make exactly what i wanted... so i had to do it myself. i know i can't be the FIRST person to dual halo a set of depos... but for the life of me, i can't seem to find anyone else that did it. the hardest part is the complete tear down of the headlights.

Just curious..would you be willing to do this for a fee? :wub:
Looks great Scarr :yesway:
:agreed: I cant wait to see them installed.
Looks great! I was gonna do this to my Sonars when they were open but I went a different route. What size are the CCFL rings?

perhaps....



for 1 MIIIIIIIILLION DOLLARS!

seriously though, i am consider new options (that i cannot do on this build, i have already done things that prohibit it) and i may sell these (down the road). they are not an item i would necessarily want to sell as a product. the way they are built is pretty "shadetree" right now. this is more of a "can i do cincity-like stuff" and i figured i would start small, and simple.

and you know, for you it would have be a special build. one that color matches them to your paint (essentially you get the housings painted and sent to me, and then i would do the electrical fab.)

^^ Doesn't look like it. I'd assume he'd paint the housing before putting the CCFL rings in since it's easier to tape off.

Those look really good, what MM CCFL did you need for them? Oznium.com sells a bunch of different sized rings and will make custom sizes and I believe they are $20/ ring.
i still could.. and am still considering color matching. the low beam ring is attached to the projector, and that whole thing comes out as an assembly. and i happened to have some nice metal rings (from something) that i mounted the high beam halos in. they totally removable.

i used 80mm in the lows. and 90mm in the highs. unless you have a mounting ring like i did though, you cannot use 90mm and need to go to 100mm and mount it directly to the housing. and for mounting (in case you are curious) i used a 2 parts clear epoxy (the 30 minute stuff, that says it is good on plastics.) the advantage of the 80mm in the low is that a little dremel work, and the wires easily hide. the high beam is not so lucky... i just have to tuck, and hide them.
Those look great! can't wait to see how they look finished.
good shit scarr. do you think these will be done before the sonic meet? id love to see them.

HELL YES. that is the "unveiling". there will be NO finished pics shown on this site, until after that. (hopefully someone has a good camera to show them off, my cell camera is all i have, and lights are hard to photograph.)
