Just wanted to know if anyone has the outer dimension size of the first gen projectors. Not the actual projector lens but the chrome housing/shroud around it. Gonna be doing a little project so I get get all my parts together before I take them apart

 

I wanted to know about this too, so the projector lens itself (just the lens) 3"?

 

Thanks for the tip but I actually need it right down the to mm.

 

i messured both the USDM and JDM projectors and they came out to 3.5".and if you want the opening of the reflector housing its 3.75".hoped that helped and good luck on your project.

 

Thanks Shaun, you're the man!!

 

no prob man!just here to help.i wont even ask what you got planned cuz i know its gonna be sick no matter what.good luck!

 

Thanks bro! I will say this the will be the most customized 1st gen headlights I've seen. If only you knew muhahahahah.

 

Do I sense an Audi R8 LED conversion for your headlights perhaps ??

 

The thought crossed my mind at one point but no

 

I like the idea, very nice.

I am kind of curious to see what insomniac comes up with too. Can anyone point towards a direction for the BMW like HALO conversion?

Thanks

 

Currently I have the USDM lights with the halo kit from AACStyle and the housing painted black. But personally I dont like them. They look somewhat ok when they are on but I dont like how they look when they are off (very skinny)

The ones from AACstyle look like this...


The ones I will be getting look like this...


I've bought a second set of JDM ones so I wont have any down time.

When I'm done I'll have...
-Custom Clear lens cover
-Custom Black Chrome Housing (courtesy of Grazio&Co.)
-Retrofit F50 Cima Style projector (replace hi-beam)
-CCFL Angel Eye kit for both Hi/Low Beam
-Custom LED Park lamp
-Custom LED Turn Signal
-Custom LED strip along the bottom
(now that I saw vipguy's I'll reconsider. I like them)

 

^^now thats sounds insane!damn it,i wanna see it done!

 

It should look something like this when its done. Pardon the crude photochop
I'm debating on doing full clear lens or half

 

^^^if thats how its gonna look,i'd just do a hafl clear lens.i like the way the side led's gets diffused by the lens so that whole side turns orange.
