ok i just got a crazy idea... do u have the chome backing that came out of your stock headlights? If so can I have them :-) I have an idea and thouse would be very helpful.. I have an idea that i think could help everyone out.. i just dont want to destroy my headlihts trying to figure it out... thanks...

[RAZ_76]

^^^ Now you say something...I just head a set of heads, both smashed but that chrome was still good. I trashed them last week, damn.

[guynlidia2006]

damn it... i have a really good idea too... i wanna try it before i say... so does anyone have trashed headlights with the chrome backing in them in shape... gonna make a prototype...

[airborneparainf82]

I hope it works out well for you. They look pretty decent as it is and hopefully you find the motivation to finish. good luck.

Oh don't worry they will get finished. :) Ive invested enough $ in these to not finish... just a matter of how long lol

check local junkyards. if you want i can check one here in town. the one i went to had 2 galants and one had a really messed up headlight from an accident, but it was just the housing that got screwed up. I can call and see if they still have it and get a price for ya if you'd like.

[guynlidia2006]

no i mean the chrome pieces you took out of the headlights you are working on right now... did u remove the chrome reflector part where your one headlight used to be... i just want thouse two chrome pieces...

Alright, well today my 6000k HID conversion kit (from Qs a TGC vendor) came in the mail, and I now have found my motivation to start on the 2nd headlight. So I have never messed around with anything like a HID kit and even though the diagram for an H3 installation looked pretty easy compared to other bulbs, the way everything came in the package I didn't quite understand what I was to do. It wasn't until I took it all out, followed the wires and looked to see what made sense as far as what went where, that I actually was able to finally make sense of the installation instructions and diagram. I did end up having to completely unbolt the projector from the housing to get access to the 2nd wire, which actually had a different connector on it than the HID kit. So then I had to go down to the auto store and get a new connector and hook it up.

I just got everything hooked up and remounted the projector and decided to go back to my car and remount the new housing, check to make sure the HID worked and then to re-align the projector. Suprisingly everything worked perfectly the 1st try. Im quite proud of that! :) I then re-aligned it, put the bezel over the front and decided to take some pictures. Note, the halos are not hooked up because I'm still waiting for a replacement set from Ericblah, but those should be here in the next day or 2. Anyways, its looking awesome and I have decided that I must get this other headlight done ASAP because I want them on my damn car finally! Hope yall enjoy the pics.

Are You Done Yet!!! I Am Dieing In Antisapation!!! (damn I Cant Spell)

Got to work on this project again. My goal is by next weekend to have everything done and to have these bad boys on my car. I got the new halo put on the headlight that I was working on, drilled holes for the halo wires, ran them and re-soldered them. My soldering job isn't anything professional, but they held well and when I re-tested the lights on the battery everything was working great. Later tonight when it gets dark I may go mount up the head and get a picture with the halos going. We'll see.

After all of that fun stuff, I decided to go ahead and finish this one up and put the clear cover back on. I applied some clear silicone sealer and go the cover back in place. Everything is now complete with the 1st headlight. The only thing that is really left to do is to hook the halos up to the parking lights once everyone is complete and ready to go. I just need to buy and extension cord so I can use my solder gun out there. Im also waiting on installing my load equalizers for my switchback turn signals until then as well. Figure I'll just knock them all out at once. Well as always, heres a couple pics of what I'm talking about.

All the wiring complete


Finished product

congrats on the project. Im sure you spent more time planning this in your head than actually doing it. good job man.

[airborneparainf82]

yeah the 1st head took me a while because of just that, but I'm getting started on the 2nd one tonight and it should take much less time to do. plus im just not rushing it, just doing it here and there. its a spare set of heads im using, so no need to get it done in a couple days.
