ihavetwins, where did you buy the pivot lazy eye controller from I'm interested.

R-Magic are the best looking sleek headlights in my opinion then comes authentic RE-Ameiya sleek lights with the intake on the passeneger side. Good luck finding a set of R-Magik headlights last I heard they stopped making them and when they were around $2000 for the set which came with HIDs...

it used to do it so I put another bracket on the bottom of the light mount so it wont do it anymore...so far it has not done it...

That's what I'm doing too.

You setup the lighting where both the HID and high beams comes on?

KaiFD3S

iTrader: (37)

No, just have it set up the normal way..could not figure out how to have both come on..lol..did'nt want to screw anything up....I hate working on electrical stuff..

Did you have to cut the front bumper to make this light kit fit? Cuz I got a set here, it seem to be alot bigger. Thanks!

This is Hyperion's lights, I wish this was a kit:







Looks like the best lighting solution, but I am sure it cost a pretty penny.

yes, had to cut the front bumper and the frame

Those lights are the hella lamps that i'm using in my project. The non-hid lamps are not expensive.

You've given me an idea to make a flipup light kit like that but with carbon fiber or fiberglass that would flush mount the lights and hide the bracket. I'm already working on a sleek light kit now with those lamps.

thanks

For me, I am inbetween the flip ups (my own custome set) or the Rmagic, I think the cost would be the same.

More pictures I have at work.

Here is the last one

See if this works

huh??? Where in the TREAD act does it pertain to any of this: (I'm seriously asking because I have pre-auto headlight kit with the hella projectors and I live in Cali aka the police state.)

http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0geuvPOnb.../tread_act.pdf

Wikipedia:

The Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability and Documentation (or TREAD) Act is a United States federal law enacted in the fall of 2000. This law intends to increase consumer safety through mandates assigned to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). It was drafted in response to fatalities related to Ford Explorers fitted with Firestone tires, and was influenced by automobile and tire manufacturers as well as consumer safety advocates. After congressional hearings were held in September of 2000, Congress in only an 18 hour span passed the TREAD Act in October of 2000. The Act was signed into law by President Clinton on November 1st, 2000, and has been incorporated into the existing National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966, codified at 49 U.S.C. §§ 30101-30170.

There are three major components of the TREAD Act. First, it requires that vehicle manufacturers report to the National Highway & Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) when it conducts a safety recall or other safety campaign in a foreign country. Second, vehicle manufacturers need to report information related to defects, reports of injury or death related to its products, as well as other relevant data in order to comply with "Early Warning" requirements. Third, there is criminal liability where a vehicle manufacturer intentionally violates the new reporting requirements when a safety-related defect has subsequently caused death or serious bodily injury. There are a number of other smaller provisions which mostly address manufacturers of vehicle tires and guidance to the NHTSA on reporting data. The "Early Warning" requirement is the heart of the TREAD Act, enabling the NHTSA to collect data, notice trends, and warn consumers of potential defects in vehicles.

that's interesting:

Those Infinity lights could have been done much nicer than that, especially how shallow it appears.

RE-Amemiya7

I am a big fan of The RE-Amemiya kit. It does take at bit of cutting of the frame to get them to fit but, when all is said and done they look great. Out of all the aftermarket kits i think The Amemiya one looks clean enough that it appears factory......well if you didnt know better.

Here are some pice of the RE-Amemiya sleek light kit on my FD

Posting more pictures for you in hopes that you can make a pop up light kit using the Hella lamp, like Hyperion. I say make the kit, and have people buy the Hella lamps through rally lights on there own to keep initial cost down.

Here are more pictures

If you can get these from RE-A (call FDnewbie)

Trying to pad my stats

Ryan and Rotary extreme (red FD) tried making these back in the day and FDnewbie photshop (black FD) and r-magic

Just to clarify here: the HID reflector isn't shaped differently to "compensate for the light source being positioned in a different longitudinal space", it's shaped differently because HID light-- which is generated by an electrical arc-- has differing wave lengths from halogen bulb light, which is generated by a burning metal filament. Because of those different wave lengths, the reflector surfaces need to be positioned differently to maintain the correct distance from the light source in order to obtain the "brighter" color of HID consistently across the reflected beam pattern. Otherwise, you get refraction that scatters the light at varying points in the beam pattern; this is why if you look closely at an HID/halogen lamp housing retrofit kit beam pattern, you'll notice areas that have a rainbow effect. It's also why their beam patterns are never as even or consistent as the HID projector units.

If you can make these headlights, I am in for both.

After seeing all the new flush kits that have come out lately, I can confidently say I will not be parting with my rotary extreme kit My only complaints would be the "just enough" lighting the halogen setup provides and that there is no covering the back of the projector housings (bolts and brackets are visible if you look close). I plan to switch to hid this year for better nightime low-beam visability.

Iceman1979

Thats a good idea. I think this kit would actualy be easier to make then the one i'm working on now.

I'll keep you guys posted

Thanks

I have several problems with those lights.

1. The lenses are painted.
2. you can see the cut off edges of the lenses.
3. carbon fiber does not hide the mounting brackets.
4. you have to cut the frame of your car to make them fit.

Imagine a cwest style kit with the hella lamps that has carbon fiber that forms around the lights hiding the mounting brackets and a clear lexan cover that is molded down around the edges of the kit and where no cutting of the frame is involved.
That is what i'm working on creating. That and now a popup set with carbon fiber molded around the lights to hide the brackets. This idea is thanks to wptrx7

Thanks
John
