DIY: LED Halo w/Video's

faya · 10-06-2013, 09:41 AM

I just wanna say how I am grateful to Joe and Kelly, the coolest tandem ever that could ever work for your car. Was there day and it was one the coolest day ever and productive. I had my headlights done. They also helped me out install my Gen 3 and rear camber kit. It was a 100% satisfaction guarantee!! Looking forward to go back there for the next project..

Here it is.. I love them!!

Rob Faya's car is so sick.... The new Nismo red calipers and black chrome rims really made these lights pop. Faya is an awesome owner which made it easy to do this job..

For you guys using the morimoto angel eyes, are you using a cover for them and of so what kind and size?

I have the 90mm for the front projectors and am having them wired into the DRL.

Thanks in advance!

No covers needed with XB's. They are sealed with resin already. Some Halos (RGB Type) are made up of lots of little squares. They need the housing to help focus the light and protect them from the elements. XB's don't need them, only thing I wish would change on the XB's is the color. That yellow/green tint from the LEDs I wish was white. Some colored halos with RGB leds come sealed in resin and don't need casings, there called COB Angle eyes from superbritght.

Done, dual halo with dual demon eye in blue. Used 4 up top and added 1 to the main projector to make 5 on it. Still dim, 10mm leds are huge but might try it on my lights first, don't want to F up some one else lights. Just need to make it brighter on the main projector.

Tip I came up with that I figured I might pass along to folks doing these themselves who worry about condensation:

Buy this stuff:
Amazon.com: Rust Oleum 274232 Never Wet Multi Purpose Kit: Home Improvement

Now buy this stuff for good measure:
Sonax 223100 Black Polymer Net Shield : Amazon.com : Automotive

My lights have been opened about 4 times now and have pretty significant heat warping along the seams. After you re-seal the lights with butyl, apply 2 coats of "never wet" (drying in between coats) along the seams of the lights. Once dry, apply a coat of the polymer net shield. Drove around a bit in the monsoon we had in DC last week and both lights are dry as a bone.

Anybody figure out what to use to recondition the insides of the lights yet? Wondering what to use, UV Wipe, clear coat spray, not sure.
