Did mine as well, forgot to post here. I chose amber as well with glossy black housing.

nice it looks pretty boss on the white as well. i like it. Its so hard to take pictures of these there is almost no angle where you dont get massive glare everywhere.

As for the turn signal halo you cant fit the halo over it, you need to cut it. Scroll back to the first 2 pages of this thread and you will see what i mean. there is just no space to put it.

seems like when I did mine it may have fit. oh well.

I have some wiring pics and description on my other thread, your lights look great!

The threadis here:

I love that yellow:tiphat:, really makes the car pop. Beautiful car sir:tup:..

Kellyfields :tup: is thinking of using the Oracal kit. I like the control it give for multiple lights. We have a shop here in Tampa, we have to go check it out. He is putting LEDS all over the car for the shows so it would be perfect for him.

Picked up a Nismo yesterday, starting a new set of lights. Friend at work want CF Wrap and XB with turn signal conversion. Should be fun, will post some pics.:happydance:

Popped the lights, started filling the demples and converted the turn signals. Will CF Wrap them tonight.

I wish I had some sand paper and UV Sealant when I did these. That sealant is like 80.00 a bottle. He has that discoloration starting inside the light. I notice it more after I paint the lights. When there blacked out, all the imperfections in the light are easily seen.

Well they came out awesome.. 2nd Set with CF Wrap, this time I used Nylock. Piece of Sh@t. It kept tearing, the last 3M I used was thick and stretched real nice. This NyLock Stuff is crap..

OMG that Nizzy is sexy!

Ya, those XB halos make a real clean look. I wired them into the parking lights again. I still used the Engine Enamel or Ceramic Paints, to keep the the paint from spidering from the heat. I haven't done any colored halo's yet. Colored Halos I would have to wire to a switch in the cab. Can't drive around with colored halos on in Florida unless you want a ticket, but it looks so good.

Can't wait to do Kelly's, he has the Oracle remote. I wish they made the XB's in red.. That would look sick on his car, he has all that red carbon fiber.. :tiphat:

Ya he needs to buy Oscars Varis hood. Colored will work on mine because Dave put relays to turn them off when lights are on, and I already have switches. We can always tear mine down to see how he wired everything.

Love the lights guy.
was wondering a few things need to ask the pro. I am ordering the xb rings from retrofit and I'm not sure on size I'm also doing the G blinker projector lens and there stti lens for our main projector. Doing amber on top of white for the halos should be dope. But back to the question on size, with the blinker projector it's a 70mm and bottom is a 90mm correct any info will help I know it's posted somewhere but I'm on my phone and super short on time. Thanks in advance.

70 and 90 and your good

Cool thanks Kelly.

Thanks brother...:tiphat:

anhdat503,
Nice lookin lights brother, can't wait to see them on the car.. Lookin good!!:happydance:

This thread has inspired me to do my lights in the next couple weeks, ordered the Halos today. Has anyone experienced any failure using GOOP to hold the Halo's or new turn signal lense in place?

Looks you are working on these way in the future.

done

Nice
 

Bad A$$ man, they look great all together.. How are they wired? Separate switch or into the parking lights?

Nice...:worship:

They look good. :tup:

Thank you to everyone that contributed to this DIY for giving me the inspiration to do the one mod I have wanted for the longest time! I decided to color match the housing to the car and had the trim done with carbon fiber hydrographics

Looks awewome Lee! Wtb these hydrographics, where did you have them done?

Looks great man!!! Please let us know how the graphics hold up under the heat. When i wrapped mine with 3M there was some dout if it would hold up under the heat. So far not issues with the 3M :tiphat: .

Those are some sexy lights :happydance:

Looks killer Chinook!

hmm well this sucks, its been 2.5 months and 1/3 of the leds on the passenger side 90mm halo have stopped working. I am expecting it to stop working all together soon. At this point i think i got a defective halo, since the other 3 halos are working just fine. BUt we will see how long they last as well. Anyone have any ideas on what could cause this? Either way im not opening these headlights again any time soon.

I was afraid that would happen. LEDS can be unreliable a lot of the time.

-From my phone, to space, and straight to your face.

That stinks to hear, I think you will find it is a bad halo. My wifes are 3 years old almost and still perfect.

:shakes head:Man sorry to here that.. If you don't mind me asking what type of halo's were they..

Sounds like the soldered connect has been broken.. Are they sealed in a plastic case like the picture on the left or are they Like XB's and sealed in resin in the picture on the right?

They are the Morimoto xb in amber color. This sucks badly i realy dont want to open the headlight again. I most likely will drive it like this till it dies out and my car looks like a winking pirate

Thanks for the response.. You are the first :eek: I have herd of that this has happened to. Man that sucks, it hard as hell getting them open in the cold too.

If you call them latter when your ready to work the warranty on them; please let us know who it goes.

Joe

Well getting them open isnt that bad but unglueing the apoxi without braking anything. Ye ill have to see how the warranty works. They are suppose to have pretty good one.

Man, I had a return customer that had one light with moisture in it. He parks his car outside.. I don't recommend anyone relies on only re-using stock sealant.

The guy that says "All you gotta do is push it back in the crack" is taking risk. Thank god the customer was driving a NISMO, only took 15min to get the bumper off and warm up the light..

If you do this stuff for other people always use new sealant: OCI Butyl Rubber Glue - Accessories from The Retrofit Source Inc
$15.00 is good money for piece of mind...

could possibly be how you put it in. It says to be extremely careful and not put too much pressure in one spot when squeezing it in. The gel that coats the led's can be punctured easily and break off in chunks.

Naah its not that, i made sure i was extremely careful how i put them in. Even pressure all around. Plus i dont know if you've seen these things they are literately the exact size of the main projector piece. They fit in it like a glove. Plus you can clearly see that the gel coating is still intact and in place. Anyways i sent TRS an email with what has happened, i will keep you guys updated on the whole warranty claim and how cooperative they are.

These lights, in my experience, definitely need an extra helping of sealant to make them get a good, permanent seal. Just pushing them in while the stock sealant is pliable is not enough.

ok, was just a thought. yeah I have done a few already. They fit in perfect but that metal tab with the wires seems to be a problem for me. When you drilled a hole, how close to the rim did you get? I try to stay away from the edge to keep a clean look but the further you stay away, the more it wants to pop out the headlight. I have already had a customer have one of his pop out and Im gonna have to fix it now.

On mine you can see the wires a bit i went with dead center on the plastic peice. But i drilled the hole at the bottom so you have to look close to see it. Ye the Pop out is a ******** thing to happen. You would have to open it just to put it back in which sucks probably more than mine case.

The fix will be no big deal to me, Ive opened up many headlights. What glue did you use to hold it? Maybe mine is not strong enough. I used JB weld on the inside for a permanent bond while using superglue on the out side for a quick bond so I dont have to hold it waiting for the jb to dry. I know on his I didnt want to go near the edge so there was pressure pushing it out.

- I drill my holes toward the top of the main projection shroud to hide the wires. What I have noticed is each halo I get is different were the wires come off the XB. I try to tuck the wires into the recess of the shroud. Sometimes the wires come right off the side of the halo and wont fold behind. I have to cut a small channel into the shroud to get the halo in place.

- I have used Epoxy, JB Weld, Plastic Filler, Super Glue but what I have had no problems with is AutoGoop. As crazy as it sounds it hold the G3 lens and Halos in just fine. I have had a set of halos pop out but that was on me for not using enough Goop.

- I also noticed the Colored XB Halos are slightly larger than the white by millimeters. Those I have to glue on the outside.. Easy way to get a good surface to attach to in that case is use some body filler and make 4 mounting point in the Shrouds recess to glue to.

- I made a mess with epoxy once, and I spent a day fixing the light. Make a mistake with the AutoGoop and it cleans up easily.

Hope this helps!:tiphat:
