New Headlights on the market !!

[Chubb]

you will need a switching relay (i think thats the name) about $15 from REPCO I research the exact same process when I wanted to wire on AE.

The relay takes power from 2 sources (your low beam and your parker circuit) the relay works by passing current through when the park circuit is active, but when the low beam circuit gains power the relay will close and stop any current passing through. These relays look exactly the same as a normal relay, all you would need is to cut the write wires and connect them.

Can't wait to see pictures.

I'm just uploading some pics now

They cost me $600 including postage, which I thought was reasonable. Postage was about $80.

Yeah pictures would be awesome, these are on the to do list!! If a group buy goes ahead with these things im jumping on it straight away!!

[Flying Ace]

Some pics for you

Please excuse my filthy car!









I'll take the front apart again on the weekend and take some pics of the back of the lights so you can see what I mean about the HIDs!

[tadz0rz]

tough!!

How much did it cost you shipped here buddy?

[Flying Ace]

Around $600 including postage, which was $80 or so

[ofey]

Well the cost of the headlamps to me is A$300. So we're looking at a buffer of A$300 for postage which I think we surely can do for less.

So long as we never go by sea again.

Yeah, I knew I'd be paying a lot more than waiting for the group buy, but I had the money and didn't want to wait

I 2) The CCFL Angel eyes have a slight green tinge to them.

In the last photo you can notice the green tinge.
Was wondering at night time is the green tinge really noticeable or is just slightly?

But most of all, congratulations!!! Very nice headlights

Also the LED is on constantly on it's because they are exactly like Parker lights they will always be on unless you do what Chubb said and buy the relay

But again
Congratulations they look stunning!!!

[ofey]

Yeah, I knew Id be paying a lot more than waiting for the group buy, but I had the money and didnt want to wait

Could you take some pictures of the wiring round the back please?

Nothing against you. You're welcomed to do what you did.

I'm just hoping you can support the rest of the club by showing us more detailed pictures of it so we can assess it.

also how are the lenses?

[Flying Ace]

The green tinge is most noticeable at night. In daylight it's not so bad. I'm happy to keep the parkers (on the sides) on at night, it's just that the angel eyes are really bright in the dark, and they kind of detract from the effect if they're on when the headlights are on too.

I'm not really that confident with electrics, would it cost much to get an auto electrician to do the relays up for me?

[Flying Ace]

The lenses seem fine, I am not used to projectors so the sharp cutoff is somewhat of a novelty to me.

They appear to be quite well built, everything feels really solid. I want to get some sort of headlight protector film though as the lens at the front is just plastic (or polycarbonate) and I don't want to get it damaged by a stray rock!)

[Flying Ace]

(Have no idea why the uploader turned my image upside down, weird).

This is inside the dust/water cover of the projector. The wiring seems to disappear through the bottom which leads me to believe fitting HIDs (with the excess wiring that entails) might be a bit of an issue. Also the people I bought it off said you need to make sure the HIDs have UV blocking glass as the warranty will be void of the lens fogs up/discolours because of cheaper HID kits being used.

I will take off the bumper again on the weekend and remove the headlights and have a bit of a better look for you.

Some night pictures would be great as well please.

Thanks
