Projector headlamps

**Ldub** · 02/04/2008, 09:32 PM

I put links to a couple of users gallerys in the "grille claws" thread that I thought may possibly go unnoticed...so, for those lusting after projectors...& a real "fabmaster" type project...

Whaleboys conversion...http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/sh...500&ppuser=114

Nuks conversion...http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/sh...500&ppuser=647

Have fun & post pics.

Yeah, I like that mod, but I will never get to it. I wanted to mimic Whaleboy's version for a while but I want a lot of things.

**Whaleboy** · 02/05/2008, 12:31 PM

getting those suckers aimed was a real pain in the ***. but they sure are purty.

**Ldub** · 02/05/2008, 03:55 PM

I gotta say...Props to you & Nuk for MaD fab skills & a job well done.

That is one nice conversion Mr. Whaleboy. I gave my son a 3600 dollar pair of Mercedes S-500, Bi-zenons from a collision....he melted them into his old Mr.2 very nicely. I've a closet full of HID collision takeouts.....Audi to Navigator if anyone is feeling creative

Hey Wayne,

I may take you up on some - I've currently got some extra headlights (was thinking of doing something similar at some time) - might be an excuse for a Florida visit.

Chappa, i'll take that offer. I like trying new things and fabbibg a new style of head lamps, sounds like a cool project to start. but i need to find an extra pair of headlamps, cuz i love my yellow ones, but would be awsome to have a diffrent kind of lamps as a diffrent option. So waht do u have and for how much?

Cool I bought a cracked VX headlight unit off a member to try fab something like this and use may be a used unit out of a Cadillac STS or something. I didn't know other members have been working on it. I have a spare unit if you want to give it a try Chopper....

Chopper,

If you have a set of BMW headlights with the "angel eye" ring I would love to try and get those fabbed into a set of VX headlight assemblies. If you've got them I'll find some junk assemblies and go at it.

I've seen really convincing "Angel Eyes" made from a clear, Lucite rod (adjuster from vertical blinds) a LED bulb, and a little heat to bend the rod

Hardest part is opening the headlight, and that's not hard at all...stick 'em in the oven, and wear gloves. They can be made in colors as well...it's a pretty popular mod around here. Adjusters tend to make us swap components on a BMW headlight, so I've none of them around

I think there is a few Nissan, one or two Ford, and some odd ones...it only matters that the ballasts are the same value.I think the color would be the same. Let me see what I have. If it is something you can use, it'll cost you shipping. The TT's cost 14 bucks each to Rhode Island. You may just want to check into a Tone style HID conversion. Those kits have come way down in price over the last year or two...look around a bit.

**So-CalVX** · 02/06/2008, 04:02 PM

by hid do you mean projector? And by nissan do you mean Z? Because I've been thinking bout getting ahold of a set of Z headlights with that weird mounted 'jection unit to see if they'd look aight in the VX.
Thanks for any info bro..

**Chopper** · 02/06/2008, 04:20 PM

No...Maxima and Altima....I've yet to see a Z car with a smashed nose
