Wel got my headlight covers today......Dont reallt like them to be honest, I think they look very cheap.....As the the sticky pads to put the brackets on, they are not so sticky, A nd im definetly not drilling my light cowel for a light cover.
-
They are just the projector housings that float around on ebay for like $30. I figured I could get those and and then I could get the HID ballast and bulbs later. These scatter light all over and the projector lens is a badly made fog light lens. Just avoid them. If you just want to upgrade so bulb replacement is easier then get a set of housings from MSA.
What lights are you referring to?
-
Looking good!!
-
Hi Guys,
Yes I wanted the 8k bulbs as I liked the blue look off them, Dont know how they will work with the covers on tho,
I'll have the covers this week sometime so Ill post some pics when they arrive.
-

Headlight covers sound like a good idea because from this angle your car looks like it has goiter.:willy_nil j/k Car looks great.
Haha, thats a good discription!!, covers have been ordered
Will the covers throw the light pattern off I wonder?
-
When you have a chance, could you take a picture of your beam pattern against a wall that's farther away, like Joel's picture? Also, do you have a picture of the back of the light? How far does it stick out into the wheel well? Did you have to ditch the plastic inner fender liner? And how much did you have to cut out of your stock housing-bucket, (or whatever that piece that you normally bolt the sealed beams into is called.)
Thanks!

Could be awhile before im out in the dark in the z again, maybe next weekend,
The light fits into the standard light housing, so it doesn't stick out any further into the wheel well than normal. I just had to drill a bigger hole in the housing to get the connections through.
There is an ebay link on page 1 with more pics of the light.
Cheers

They look good, but I would like them better if they were more set back in the bezel. I thought I found a website with them for a much better deal, but they were priced individually instead of as a pair.
Yeah they do come out a bit far but the light covers should smooth things over
.I think I paid a fair price, the only modification I had to make was to drill a bigger hole in the light housing so I could fit the connections through, apart from that they fit right in.
-
Here's a better pic of what they look like.........I'm going to get tinted lightcovers I think they will look better.
-
Thanks for assuming a lot, and not helping at all. Go preach somewhere else. And I thought this forum would be more likely to have helpful people who share their passion for cars, and Datsuns. Oh well, I'll just keep moving forward.
No need fot that, the guy was trying to help, you should keep moving forward I think
-
Just been out for a quick drive in the dark, the light is amazing, I live out in the country and the high beam really lights up the road, Im really pleased with them.
they come with 5500k hids as standard but I got the 8000k. overall Im pleased.
-
Yeah im pleased with them, I wasn't sure how they would look but turned out better than I thought, will look better with tinted light covers I think.
-
Well finally got the lights installed today........they look ok although I think ill got some headlight covers.
I havent had a chance to focus them properly yet, took a few pics in the garage, it will give you some idea of what they look like.
-
Ok thanks guys,
I think I'll run them without covers for the moment and see how I get on.
Hoping to install them on saturday so I'll get pics up then.
Cheers
-
Yeah its like a angle eye thing, I'm leaving it disconnected tho as I dont like the look of it, think it looks cheap. So do I need a covering over my projector or is it ok?
-
Well got my lights yesterday, I wired them up roughly to make sure they are both working and to see what the quality is like, I dont know pretty much anything about projectors and HIDS but they work!!
They are in the bodyshop now getting the chrome painted black.
One question.....the projector fits into the housing but there is nothing actually over the projector.......will I need some kind of cover over it?, the place where I bought them said I dont need anything covering the projector.
Cheers
-
Yes, it's meant to be that way so that the light beam is lower on the on coming traffic side of the road. The step is higher on the side where the street signs and such are, for obvious reasons...
Here is how you want to aim them (The bottom one is correct #C)
So for right hand drive cars the step is just on the opposite side?
I'll be getting my projector lights next week and will need to line them up..........
-
I too have Image wheels, they are great!!
-
Ah right, I know what you mean now.........well after spending that money I hope my beam pattern is good!!!
-
Ah right, so I guess the lines should be straight and not scattered?
What heat rated hids are you using?
your car is stunning by the way!!
-
They look like they should fit fine, and allow enough room that the tire won't hit them. Those type have been discussed here in other threads, but I think you are the first to actually step up and try them.
Keep us updated on how you like them!
I would have had to see what the beam/cut off pattern looked like with them turned on, in the dark, before I put down that much coin on them though...
What do you mean by bean cut off point?, dont know much about HIDS to be honest
-
White actually looks good
-
Whoa! That's one expensive spur of the moment decision. Hopefully they work out, i'm sure they'll look good if they fit.
I thought they were reasonable, the Euro against the $ is still pretty good, the seller said they will fit right in, just have to wait and see,
The light out of my standard lights is shocking so these should be better,
I got the 8000k colour instead of the 5000k
-
Lovely car, looks stunning in white........ what wheels are those, look something similar to mine.
:willy_nil j/k Car looks great.

Anyone use these projector HIDS

Ok,
Bought some propper sticky pads today and installed the light covers, I still dont know wether or not to leave them on, Im hoping they will grow on me.
They didn't dim the light as much as I thought they would either.
