Headlight Relay Kits for our Cars by Me!!!

[Mike's89AccordLX]

They're finally done!!!

I want to know who would be interested one of the 2 setups. I'm going to do this right and get the shipping and everything correct so I will have money left to donate to the website.

I got them installed on my car with pics taken. (on 2nd page) Here are the prices for each kit.


Kit 1: (high or low beams) $55 Note: I will donate $5 for every kit 1 that I sell, to 3GEEZ.

Kit 2: (high and low beams) $100 Note: I will donate $10 for every kit 2 that I sell, to 3GEEZ.




Note: Each kit includes enough wires, wire connectors, fuses in order to install the kit.

I have done all the hard work of figuring out which wires to cut and I will make instructions for the people that buy a kit. I can't copy the wiring diagram I got from school b/c Mitchell On Demand cannot be re-used for other purposes than school. And the school has encoded every page so they could track it back to the source. So what I'm doing is re-copying everything that you need to install the kit but drawn by me. I even drew out each relay and telling which wire goes to each slot. I want to help the site by offer these kits to you guys. The stuff doesn't weigh much so I could ship the stuff cheap.


Let me know what you guys think. I would like some feedback from fellow members.


List of people that would like to buy one of the 2 kits:

sounds like a sweet idea. Go for it maing. I'd be willing to pay upwards of 30 bucks or so for such a kit.

Since you're doing auto electircal stuff, do you think you could figure out how to make a sleepy eyes kit as well?

[Mike's89AccordLX]

And here are the sidemarkers that I found for $20 for the pair. I haven't put them on but they look fricken tight!

[SteveDX89]

It looks like Kit 1 and Kit 2 are the same except you get one more relay so what is the difference? Won't brighter headlights piss people off? I know I get pretty heated when I got bright ass lights coming toward me or in my mirror.

[blazin3gen]

damn mike that sounds like an awesome plan!! i want my H4's brighter just to piss of people lol

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Kit 1 and Kit 2 are really the same except with kit 2 you get twice the wires and connectors and twice the fuses and relays. Kit 1 would be half of the price of Kit 2.

And if anyone wants a set of those sidemarkers let me know b/c I can get them for $20 a pair.

And the lights won't piss people off b/c if they do those people were probably pissed to begin with. Just flip that dimmer thing on the mirror. HID's are as bright as you can get and you can pretty much get the same brightness without the huge cost. I haven't gotten all the prices together yet.

[Mike's89AccordLX]

I just wanted to let you know I'm using 12 gauge wire too. This is the correct size for what I'm doing. These kits take out all the hassle of figuring out what you need and going to the store and getting the stuff. And it also is helping the site b/c when I figure out how much these kits will be I will donate a certain amount of money for each type of kit.

I don't plan on doing sleepy eyes (half popped headlights) Here's a link to someone on the preludepower forum that does them. http://www.preludepower.com/phpBB2/v...ghlight=sleepy eyes

[shepherd79]

here is what i found on the net:
http://www.brightheadlights-hid.com/...-harnesses.htm

ok this one is made by APC and it is $39.99 at advance autoparts: http://www.trucknvans.com/bulbs/ultrawhite.htm
all of them are universal.
so if mike makes custom for our cars that would be great. i may consider if the price is right.

i really dont think Sleepy Eyes would look good on an accord, I think they would look good if they were flush like a ford Probe for example...

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Alright I finished the instructions last night. (About an hour of drawing and a protractor and about 3 Pepsi's.) I have everything perfect! And I mean it too, I showed it to my g/f's dad (used to be an electrician) and he said it looked good. All of the markings are correct. I showed it to my g/f to see if she could figure it out and well... she did!!! She knows nothing about electrical things and she said she could understand what the things were.

My drawings include: Wiring diagram of just the wires you need so it takes the confusion out of it. And it shows you where to cut and to put wire connectors. It shows you where the fuses need to be. It also shows you the high beam relay and where those wires go and the low beam relay and where those wires go. This kit is only for our cars!!! I even have every wire you need to cut color coded so there will be no mixups. The wires are color coded to match what OEM codes were. I'm really excited to be doing this and to be successful at making easy instructions. I also drew a picture of a relay, showing which wires from the relay goto B+ and to B-. It's really simple. I think what I will do is do a group buy for these (small group so it will be fast to put together and fast to ship) And then I will submit the instructions as a how-to for the site. I don't want to do the how yet b/c I want the site to get some donations from this idea.


Things I'm going to do:
1: Take night shots with my H4's without the relays (high and low beams).
2: Install the relays and get exact wire lengths for each kit.
3: Take night shots with the relays installed (high and low beams).

These kits are made for our cars, they aren't for any other car.

What do you guys think? I'm really anxious to get this underway! The prices will be close to the APC except my products won't be crap. And from what I saw APC's $49 kit is only for one relay so you would need to buy two kits to have high and low beams brighter.

I will tell you this right now, my price will be less than APC's. To have high and low beams brighter you will need to spend $98 for a universal kit. My kit will have specific instructions with wires color coded for our cars ONLY! I'm not going to give you a price yet, b/c I will need to figure out the exact amount of wire needed for each kit so I will have a more accurate price. I'm also selling those sidemarkers that are DOT/SAE approved for $20 + shipping and I will also donate money from those to the site too.

damn mike that sounds like an awesome plan!! i want my H4's brighter just to piss of people lol

Man I wish mine were brighter so i could see more than 4 feet in front of me. Mine are either too white or too blue. I have to adjust them too, but the screws that you can adjust them with arent catching so they are basically almost pointing all the way down. I have PIAA bulbs in them and I paid like 80 bucks for them so I figured they would be bright. And to be honest, I think I could see better when I had regular ones from Pep Boys. H4's are overrated IMO. But until I have them adjusted correctly, then I will give my final verdict.

[Mike's89AccordLX]

After I get mine installed with before and after pics I will start a list of people. And I will have a price for each kit by then too.

Mike's89AccordLX,

I'll let you know if I'm interested in your kit, after I see your pictures.

My Sylvania Silverstar sealed beams are bright, but why not make them even brighter 'ay?

[DarknessRS]

Three words: High Intensity Discharge

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Yes I know what HID means, but these kits is for the many people that can't afford HID's. With an H4 conversion and these kits it will be the next best thing to HID's. I took some night shots without the kits in and it looked pretty bad. My H4's looked kinda orangish and it was ugly. So when I get the kits in I hope it will be what I'm expecting it to be.

[shepherd79]

so where are we going to see the pictures?

[Mike's89AccordLX]

As soon as I get them in, I've been working a lot and don't really get much free time but they will get in this week.

-Mike

[Vanilla Sky]

i really wanna see these in action... if i get this car (it's a free one), i'll probably get one from ya pretty soon if i like the results

[carotman]

how exactly are you going to make stock bulbs brighter???? 12V will still be applied to them...

I see a heat problem during the summer for having both low and high beams ON at the same time. I dunno if other cars with H6054 lights have both low and high beams on..

I think what he is doing is providing thicker gauge wire and heavy duity relays to handle the higher wattage bulbs. if you use high wattage bulbs with the stock stuff it can overload the circuts.

Mike- let me know if this is wrong, this is just how I understanded it. Also, when you take pics do it with one side with the conversion and one side stock, so you can see them compared in the same pic.

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Carotman, my instructor told me to do this b/c it was safe for cars. He is really strict when it comes to modifing cars, so for him to say it's safe then it's safe. He's ASE Certified as a Masters Mechanic so he does know his stuff. And you won't be running higher bulbs. And you won't have high and low beams on at the same time.

I could be wrong b/c I myself am not 150% sure on electrical stuff yet... But your headlights aren't really getting the full 12 volts. With the relays installed they will get the full 12 volts. I will get the for sure answer on this question when I talk to my instructor next.

And I'm taking before and after pics. I can't do one headlight at a time with the relays b/c it works off of both headlights. But someone could photoshop one of the before and one of the after pics of the headlights and put them next to eachother so you can see the difference.

Trust me this is safe. Just b/c I'm not the master at this electrical stuff, don't doubt my instructor b/c he knows a lot more than I do.

[shepherd79]

well come on hurry up, i want to see them.
i want to make my Raybrig bulbs even briter. they are as brite as HID right now. you can't even see the diff between my bulbs and real HID, but i want them even brighter.

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Well I have the day off tomorrow and I will try and get them in if I dont have any distractions.

[dXsquared]

mike.. just take a before pic of your car... then make an after pic...

its not that hard to figure out lol
