New headlights on Ebay?

**BITESIZE** · 01-05-2004, 10:01 AM

Check these out, I want to know what you think?http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2452511282

Yeah... umm.. I wouldn't buy those unless I actually saw them on our car. And I was wondering how you can convert your stock headlights into dual carbon fiber headlights. Sounds pretty scammy to me.

**SteveDX89** · 01-05-2004, 10:10 AM

Don't buy those. They just took a sheet of carbon fiber, cut holes in them and stuck them on the headlight lenses. You can probably do it for cheaper than 50 bucks.

**Mike's89AccordLX** · 01-05-2004, 10:13 AM

Wow that is really really :gay: I think if it were a conversion to sleepy eyes it would be worth the money but not for that.

**bobafett** · 01-05-2004, 10:20 AM

yeah im sure its just a sticker

**doug** · 01-05-2004, 10:39 AM

thinking about it, wouldn't it just be a matter of taking the stock black plastic piece on our cars already, finding two projector bulbs that would fit, then having a mold made of fiberglass that had the two projector holes and mount the projector housings? remember I'm stupid before you jump on me in case I missed somethig obvious.

**Mike's89AccordLX** · 01-05-2004, 10:45 AM

Actually your right. That's all it would take. But if you want sleepy eyes it would be a lot more work.

***Vinny*** · 01-05-2004, 11:14 AM

thats some funny sheit there. I'm just mad that I didn't think of that scam first

Much respect to you and your ride.

**BITESIZE** · 01-05-2004, 09:32 PM

I was wondering if it was just a scam.....$50, yeah right, those dirty bastards.

Looks like a sticker. cuz u can see light coming from the edges. pay fifty for a sticker . Phuck that. can make my own. but who would want that.

**zero.counter** · 01-05-2004, 09:53 PM

All or most of the parts for that kit are available at your local autoparts store. Those lights are pilot projectors, buy the relays (bosch), some high wattage fuses, prolly a highoutput harness, and gut the headlights, use some CF and mold around the lights. Adjust manually and that's that. The idea I brought up was with actual carbon fiber and is similar to the east bear kit for the S13s to replace pop-ups. I am still working on it BTW.

Sleepy eyes won't look good on our cars, I've seen a few AE86's with them and it looks weird,the effect will be way different then that of nissan's and mr2's.

But if anyone wants, I got some of that carbon fiber sticker stuf, so send me $50 and I'll make some for yah, I'll even make triple projectors for an additional $10...jk

**NXRacer** · 01-07-2004, 06:46 PM

send me 3 normal ones and 2 triples. asap!!

i was wondering how the sleepy eyes would look on our cars...i always thought it would look good......guess there's only one way to tell.....but they're kinda low on my priority list

Someone here on the board did it and posted pics. You'll have to search around for it.

**crwa** · 01-07-2004, 08:48 PM

NX- I'll get right on that, you can pay half now and half when I deliever the finished goods... Off subject, but do you guys still have any racing going on down in Salem? Portland is pretty dead and I want to start again, and if you guys still do I want to come down sometime and check it out.

It's easy to find out, just pull the fuses that go to the headlamp motors and use the dials underneath the hood to bring the lamps partially up.

**Rendon LX-i** · 01-09-2004, 09:38 AM

So what u can make your lights go up by dialing the shit up. damn i didnt know that. I was going to ask u all . since there is H4 H.I.D conversion kits. and it only uses 35 watts but puts out like fucking what 7,000k. thats nice. shit im running 85w but the output is 100. with the h4 conversion kit. i was thinking since have the h4 kit i can get that put a relay and shit. my friend said it can be done. H.I.Ds on a 3g would look Badass. what u all think

**Rendon LX-i** · 01-10-2004, 04:20 PM

So wat do u all think?

I thought about it an ruled it to be cost-prohibitive. I would still like to see it on someone else's car though.

**DarknessRS** · 01-11-2004, 07:04 AM

I like the HID look. Makes any car look better in my opinion. It's expensive though, $500+ just for the ballast usually.

My favorite light conversion is still this one:

Nobody has done it yet though. I'd also like to see more AE86s out there with the Levin front end instead of the kouki Sprinter bumper which seems to be so popular. (heck I've seen more 4AG 20v swaps than Levin front ends)
