i had considered the rotary run approach but that would pretty much eliminate the do-it yourself aspect, which if you're like me puts quite a damper on a project. because body work is so expensive it would drastically increase the overall cost of it, as well as the difficulty.

where im at right now there is still a good chance that you can still go back to stock. there will be some frame modification, but its minimal, and is just some trimming. it can be done with a $30 body saw from harbor freight. it also gives you an excuse to increase your tool collection.

as far as the RR lighting is concerned they are still fog lights and are illegal for road use as headlights, and if some one was to add an hid kit to the RR (fog) lighting it would be another illegal aspect of lighting (even though i think it would still be one offense, illegal lighting). So my point is this, installing an hid kit in to my sleek kit would be no more difficult than installing one into a RR kit, however still technically illegal.

i will offer an hid option that is a true HID with a D2S bulb and hid optics. it will be something like $800 extra because its that much more for me to buy. i will have the final pricing later.

let me be clear this is not a sale thread and i will register as a vendor before trying to sell the kit.



P.S. RX72NR, i hope to chage your opinion on the best looking kit available.

 

Thanx, i wanna make sure it exceeds everyone's expectations.

Thank you david, i really appreciate your input and words of encouragement. Maybe ill be able to convince you to go sleek, and you could use ur 50mm lights.


Can anyone help me with what these bolts are?

 

Well, I went out and looked at mine today and it looks like the red ones hold the housing to the bracket. The yellow ones don't actually seem to do anything for the headlight housing. It looks more like the yellow ones hold on a bracket underneath the housing to the frame. If I get some more time I will try and take a picture later to help explain a little more. Hope this helps somewhat though.

 

From what I remember two of those bolts have an off-center cam in them, allowing you to adjust the housing placement so that the cover lines up with the body lines.

 

I forgot to thank you guys for the heads up, so thank you.

now just a heads up, i have my local fab company making the brackets so i should some pretty good progress soon.

 

excellent. looking forward to seeing it

 

cant wait to see it.

 

any updates?

 

hes still waiting on the brackets. last time I talked to him.

I just want my car back!! Brackets should be ready soon talked to him today

 

I had to fix things a number of times after the initial cad file was sent to the fabricator. what took the most time was a small mis-communication, where i thought the fabricator was making them, and he was waiting. because there was about a 2 week wait, he contacted me after about a week and asked what i wanted to do and told to go ahead. then once they got to my project one of the brackets wasnt smooth so i had to fix it. all that combined with thanksgiving weekend, added to a longer wait than anticipated.

and like Kyro said, I will be picking up the brackets on Thursday.

 

Keep it going. Make these!

 

Yes...anxiously waiting for some product.

 

got the brackets today, 2 of the 3 fit perfect, the 3rd i havent got to yet. i am working on the lens now.

 

Will anyone be able to buy them if it's a success ? I want to do away with my pop ups.

 

i surely hope so.

 

what do you mean? i will sell them, if that is what you mean.

 

Yeah, that's what I'm asking. Will anyone on the forum be able to purchase a set?

 

yes, i will sell sets. there is nothing for sale in this thread however, and only follows my progress. i will register as a vendor then sell them.

 

i got the lights mounted to the mounting bracket. the light hits the ground about 3.5-4 feet in front of the bumper, 3.5-4 feet is well in front of where you vision can see the ground over the hood. my head hits the ceiling and even with my eye level being about as high as it can be, i see no dark area in front of the car.

the low beam has a super clean cut-off, and destroys the other sleek kits out there.

 

and just a little add on, anyone with fog lights will have no unlit area.

 

Sounds good! Cant wait for the finished product man! Seems you've come a far way.

 

Look forward to seeing some pics Dan.

 

i will post pics once i get the lens and shroud finished, theres not a whole lot to see now.


OH, and just a heads up for everyone, i decided to go with the Ferrari style light. After considering everything i think the Ferrari 360 is going to be the better choice.

Reason
1. I feel they have a high end look and i dont want to cheapen our cars.
2. It also works better to keep the light modules hidden.

but #1 is by far the most important and get combined with #2 covering the light modules in the c6 design will look funny.
