V-LEDs Projector Headlight Install

[vt_maverick]

Hmmm... not sure the black paint will look nice with Foxfire or any of the other non-neutral colors. I wonder how it would look with a light silver paint, or even paint match a la the new Corvette headlights?

Just found this on a JDM site:

I was just about to suggest painting the inside of the light to match the color of the truck. Lots of new corvette owners have done this and it looks great on their rides.

Haha, yes that is exactly what I did my VX is black, the projectors and housing are now black. If your VX is a different color and you can't find spray paint to match just go have a shop spray the pieces for you.

Yeah something as small as these lights and pieces the shop couldn't charge more than $50! Can you powder coat plastic?

Nice write up! The look of your headlights is very unique & mean.

I'm still working on the Fj crusier headlight mod that should fill the entire headlight cutout with an HID bulb and a halo ring. I'll probably start working on it later this summer after I finish some other projects and hopefully my headlights will turn out as good as yours

Pretty sweet!

You should convert those MicroDE's to HID, too

DDM Tuning also makes a slim kit for ~$68, 55W no less. Price includes the harneses. I have a set for my car.

The Micro DE's are HID. They match perfectly, both 6k.

I have heard bad things about DDM, I will avoid them, but V-LEDs has HIGH quality stuff, amazing customer service, and great prices.

Unless laws have changed, you use to be able to get your color shoved into a rattle can at a good automotive paint store.

That's looks amazing! I am so jealous of people that can just tear mechanical stuff apart and recreate it. Good job and thanks for the detailed pics!

Wow!

Did you pick up the HID MicroDEs or did you convert them? I did the latter using the DDM set.

I've been using them for the past 3 years w/no problems, so I can't say I'd agree with that, but to each their own. Regardless, like I said, it looks good :thumbsup:

Ryan, like I said before, awesome! Great job! Cant wait to see it in person, lets get an Austin meet together!!

I converted the Hella Micro DE's to HIDs back in September 2006 :-)

Back then I used to order HID stuff from XenonRider, and I do remember a few years ago people were having good luck with DDM stuff as well. But as you know times/products/prices change and companies don't always keep up. The current HID kit I am running on the fogs is amazing, the ballast/ignitor box is actually a very small black cylinder, found them on eBay.

The newest HID kit from V-LEDs has the most compact high quality ballast/ignitor that I have ever seen. These are not just slim, they are pocket sized almost like a credit card small.
