Sorry everyone for not answering questions this week is very busy I will have time next week to get more pictures!

Here is a picture that a member sent to me.

 

Okay guys, I finally got the kit in today and installed it the same day. Ordered the kit Oct 26. Arrived at my door November 24. That is 29 days. So if you order it during a time when TurboIIRotary is busy, expect longer than the estimated 3 weeks. The kit comes with everything you need and it is plug and play. I got the e55 shroud with 6k bulbs.

Quality of the housings look good. However I did notice condensation developing inside the housing. The heat from the bulb is able to evaporate any water in front of the lens except below it. Most of the water builds up in the lower corners. This may cause problems down the road especially for a plastic housing. Will hasten yellowing and other damaging weather effects.

Installing the kit in a stock FC is pain because of how close the ballast needs to be. The length of the wires is not enough to remote mount at cleaner areas. For stock RX7 you'll need to remove the intake box for the passenger side. I think the best place to mount it is somewhere inside the headlight structure. For me, it was late and I did not want to figure out a way to do this so I just mounted it right next to the rubber grommet with the headlight wires past through. I will relocate the ballast in the future.

You can use the stock brackets to hold the new housing to the headlight frame but you will need to pick up extended bolts and spacers. I went to Lowes and picked up (8) nylon spacers 3/8 x .171 x 1/4 and (8) m4-.70 x 20 screws/bolts.

I'm not quite sure how I should be adjusting the angles but the cut off is ridiculous. It may be cleaner than my Escalade. The cut off for the high beam isn't too shabby either but not as clean as the lows. The 6k bulbs were exactly what I was hoping for. A mild blue tint in the lighting. The housing does get warm but compared to my cousin's HID kit, this one isn't too bad. My cousin did have a 55w ballast and has glass housings.

Here are some pictures. I may get some more up later.

Thanks for the review! To be clear the spacers are for the headlight housing mount because the pilot automotive housings are thicker than the stock ones they are not to space the headlight for clearance. I will also include the spacers and screws from now on for each kit so you don't have to go out and buy some.

 

Here are more daylight shots of the kit.

i used the same kit but it was a DIY not his and also was frustrated with the length of the ballast wire.

They now offer extended length wiring for the ballast.

 

Keep in mind the ballasts are very sensitive to heat. So mounting them outside the engine bay and where they can get lots of air flow should be a priority. I like that well between the headlight bucket and radiator.

 

I ordered the extended ballast for a fd retrofit and they are different now looks like a lot of improvements I will post up a piture later to to show the difference.

 

never said I wanted to mount them IN the engine compartment, but I had a perfect spot under the cooling panel, made a REALLY nice bracket that used holes already in the car and then realized just how short those wires are when you take into consideration the lights need to go up and down.

 

+1
lol

 

Might have to pick one of these up after I move next month.

 

Might be ordering myself a pair pretty soon...

 

These still begin sold? I would like a set for my FC shipped to Canada.

 

yea i am interested

 

The difference these lights make is AMAZING!! However, I will advise that it seems much more grinding is apparently needed to get them to fit a Vert.

 

My version? They should be plug and play with no grinding however I have not tested them on a vert but another member made some and they fit perfect on his vert.

I am currently not making them but i will start another group buy the beginning of summer.

 

definatly interested!!!

 

I'm interested when you start the next group buy. I have a friend who runs these and gives you rave reviews.

 

Let me know about the next group buy!!!

 

Please let me know as well! Another Canadian interested in these!

 

Let me know as well! Would love a set of these!

 

Those look mighty bright!

 

I'm interested in this group buy! Pm me when it starts please!!

 

i need to sell some things !!

 

So how about a group buy sir .... looks like you have enough for at least 7???
