Still no word on the HID's tracking info

 

extra sets available for buy now?

 

You tracking number was sent to your email. If you haven't received it yet please let me or Dan know, it would have been sent from fedex.

 

We're fresh out. We can't keep them in stock because of the high demand. We've currently got a list of private orders going that we're doing another build of these headlights for though. (I received a mass of PMs after the GB begging for another round, and I caved). We've got 6 prepaid and another few guys submitting payment next week. I'm doing another 12 sets total and that will be it. If you'd like one please shoot me a PM ASAP, but this is just a small run as a favor to some locals and friends.

My package arrived, thanks.

 

Sorry it took so long to get your set to you but I'm glad it arrived safely. We'd love to see some pics once you've got them installed. If you've got any questions during the install process please do not hesitate to ask. Enjoy

I just wanted to make a little post showing some install pictures and some after pictures of the lights. Heath was very helpful and quick to reply any time I had a question. I'm very happy with the results of these lights and I think the pictures do justice with how great they look. After all, pictures are worth a thousand words.

Mr. KD-93R1 was the installer for these lights (and builder of the car). Take a look at some of his handy work, custom installed ballasts outside of headlight area. Ignore the saw-zalled portions...that was from the previous owners idiocy. Notice the loomed up lines, routed cleanly out of the way of the headlight. And of course the ballast mounting.





Fully installed after new covers (from Ray Crowe at Malloy) painted by a local paint shop Boitnott's. This was during the final headlight alignment.



And finally some night shots.

 

Looks GREAT! Thanks for posting up pics for everyone to see. Can't really tell from the pics but you MAY be able to raise the lights slightly.

Btw, from the rear shot it looks like the left light needs to be aimed left slightly. It could just be the angle of the picture. Also the cutoff should be pretty much be flat all the way across instead of stepped as you have it now.

Here's what the cutoff should look like pretty much.

 

Whoops pic

 

There's a good chance that I'm not completely level ground when doing the alignment. But yeah, I can line up the beam cutoff pretty quick. Just did the alignment to the guide. According to this https://docs.google.com/document/pre..._GDHQdZzIYHOdc they have the cutoffs, prior to when they raise, 2" lower then the geometric height of the center of the HID bulb. Heath can you chime in on this?

As far as raising them, I don't think I'd want to bring them up any higher. My car is stock R1 height and it's hitting cars down the road right at the bottom (or slightly higher) of their rear wind shield. Don't want it getting the side mirrors or rear view.

 

In my experience the 2 inches lower rule (per the instructions we made) is slightly too low for our cars if it has been lowered. Since your car is stock ride height it sounds like you're spot on with how the lights are hitting cars down the road. Just even out the cutoff and you should be set!

Why does heath have to chime in on this? haha I can post under SBgarage if it'll make you feel better

 

Haha no he doesn't. I just didn't recognize the username ;P.

 

Here to chime in

So here's how it works, at anything LESS than 25ft (say a closer wall) you will see two distinct beam patterns (like if you cross your eyes... out of focus). Once aimed as per the guide (at exactly 25ft) the two beams will converge into one (overlap). This overlap is a general rule of thumb based on stock headlight aiming.... basically a good "average" convergence point for these projectors based on the throw distance is around 25ft. It's not a huge deal but will improve the distance road lighting some.

Ultimately, the height matters most though, too low and you wont project down the road far enough, too high and you will hit the eyes of oncoming drivers, blinding the crap out of them . Looks great otherwise though. Enjoy

was i too late for the current GB or am i still lucky enough to grab one of the leftover sets?

been wanting these for awhile now.

 

Yeah the GB is long over. We've got one set left on our website in LHD and one in RHD -> http://www.sakebombgarage.com/shop/f...eadlights.html

Just a heads up I'll be leaving the country for three weeks, so any orders that I can't get out before the weekend will have to wait till I return on the 8th. Sorry everyone.

and one set that is a discounted LHD set with a minor blemish on one of the lenses here -> https://www.rx7club.com/showpost.php...4&postcount=19 Please shoot us an email if you're interested in that set.

Those are the only two sets I've got left from the last build (this GB thread is two headlight builds old). If I had to guess these two sets won't last more than a week as we sell these things faster than we can build them.

 

When these awsome light will make a comeback ?

 

Since the labor to make each set is so great and the cost is so high I don't think we'll be producing more any time soon. We've got so many projects currently that I just don't have enough time to continue making them. If there is a huge interest list it's a possibility but we've got so many other parts in the works unless there is a huge list of interest it probably won't happen. We're exploring other alternatives at the moment.

We do still have one set of LHD boxed up with 50w bulbs/ballasts, and one set of RHD lights, but that's it for now.

Please send me a PM for the LHD lights..!!!

 

You've got mail

 

Can you pm me the cost of the RHD set?

This will by my second set from you guys...The previous set shamefully didn't survive the car crash . Awesome product, though. I wouldn't own an FD without them now .

 

Oh no Ceylon, when did this happen I'm really sorry to hear. You're the second guy in the UK with our lights that needed a replacement set due to a crash. The other guy (forget his name at the moment) had a little run in with ice or rain, I cant remember which. Is the chassis destroyed? I'll shoot you a PM now, sorry to hear, but we can get you back in business on the lighting end at least, and you probably don't need a full kit ...
