Been chuggin' away at other projects, but this one is coming along. Just a few more things to do then I can seal these up and ship them out.
This custom made board will be wired into a Plug n Play custom bulb socket that will....well....plug into the stock bulb holder and 'play' nicely with the electrical system.
Got the CCFLs (two per shroud) attached to the shrouds
Projector has been hand-painted (couldn't masked off LED holes)
Mounted the Shrouds, soldered all the wires, tested all the lights.
Just waiting for the shrouds to cure and we'll be good to seal these badboys up.
This shroud/projector combo was the hardest I've had yet. Didn't help that I tried to stick 3 sets of CCFL's behind them. Unfortuneately, they don't make a size that would fit that last ring and even if they did, it wouldn't have fit on the FX-R projector. I had to doctor these shrouds up in order to get them to fit just by themselves.....then add a strip of LEDs for the Demon Eyes, and 2 CCFLs to the mix and it took some crafty shifting to get these on.
All-in-all, I'm pretty happy with the outcome.....it's hard to tell how these will pop because of all the black, but they will for sure finish off that Brazen solsti once they get put on...it's such a good color when you match it with black, that these headlights will look siiiick!
....now......we wait.....
Got some WRX headlights that needed some 'darkness' in their lives.
Opened up really easy, paint went on very easy, and assembly as easy.
I even threw in a free cut-n-buff on the outter lens to get rid of the smoked cover and yellow haze that had developed over the years. I new this would improve the headlights performance at night, as well as make the black pop more.
Not really sure on the name yet, but I'll work.
Got a 2007 Dodge Caliber that is getting some serious lighting upgrades.
Owner originally purchased some eBay headlights and as 90% of them do, they started leaking. We agreed that projector retrofitting was the best thing to do.
Also, we'll be doing a few (haha) lights on the interior.
So here we go:
Mini H1 Bi-Xenon Projectors
Morimoto 35ive watt HID bulbs and ballasts
Gatlin Gun v2.0 Shrouds with Halo's behind them
Audi-inspired LED lighting
Amber 30 LED park/turn signal bulbs
150 LEDs inside throughout the floor and cabin (red)
The only snag so far is that the Dodge electrical system is CAN-BUS....which basically means "No, you can't put anything aftermarket on here, because we're an awesome technological company". So the last picture if of my 3 failed attempts at bypassing this.....on to the next one I guess!
Cheers!!
