209 TACOS - B/S and shenanigans

@Uphillshunter This is what my demon eye looks like. I was shining a flashlight at the projector




getting closer to final product




On the truck and when you could see my lights. I was shining the flashlight from the back of the garage

 

Can anyone tell me what the difference is?

All I can think of is left hsnd drive / right hand drive... but can't see how that would matter.

 

Maybe left high def and right high def?

Read about half way down




Edit: screw it I copied it

LHT vs. RHT:
If you live in a country where the standard is LHD (left hand drive) then you need to use a projector with a beam pattern compatible with your traffic pattern. The step in the beam pattern will go up and to the right. In North America where LHD is the standard, the step in the beam pattern goes up and to the right. In countries like Australia, the UK, and India where the standard is RHD, the beam pattern from the headlights will be lower on the right, higher on the left. What’s the point? On the side of oncoming traffic, your beam will be lower so you don’t blind them. On the side directly in front of your car, your headlight beam will shine further down the road.

 

Well dang... it does make a difference. I figured that would all go in to the adjustment of the headlights when you install them.

 

Lmao... let me get a set done, if you like how they turn out I'm sure we can figure out how to build you a set.

 

It sounds like all you have to do is take out old light, screw in projector. Hook it up, done.

 

I'm pretty sure you still have to seperate the lense from the body. I'll also be painting inside and the shrouds and I have an idea about the LED strip along the bottom. The shrouds may also need to be trimmed to fit in there.

 

Easy stuff

You're forgetting remove the reflective crap on the reflector.

 

Ya, how do you get that shiy off anyway?

 

Easy off oven cleaner

 

@TacoJohn4x4 are you serious about me building you a set of headlights?

 

Yes, you thinking about it now. Lol

 

Ya. Tell you what, I'm ordering my parts this weekend. Let me make mine the test subject and see how this goes.

Hopefully Morgan will be able to help me wire them up after they are done, so I don't burn down my truck (@foxrcing07 )

I'll let you take a look at them and see if you trust me to do yours.

 

Sounds good. I’ll keep a look out

 

wiring isn't that hard they should be plug and play.

 

Ya... but I always go over board on crap like this.

Looks like I'll have wire the:
-Headlights
-2 switchback halos
-demon eyes and run them to an aux switch
-Re-wire the side markers to make them turn signals and add a resistor to eliminate LED hyperflash
-Wire in the switchback strips on the lower (existing) led strip

 

that's more wiring then I ever did for my lights.

 

Ok... So, the kibosh was placed on the headlights... for now.

The wife (who is much wiser and more responsible than I am) reminded me of the 24 inch round oil spot on the driveway that is under my truck. She suggested that get fixed before I start fucking around with the newest shiney object that captured my attention.

So now... another round of parts collecting has commenced.

So far:
Valve cover gaskets ✔
Plenum gaskets ✔
Spark plug seals ✔
Valve cover bolt washers ✔
PCV valve ✔
PCV valve grommet ✔
Camshaft end plugs ✔
FIPG gasket maker ✔

Crankshaft / Harmonic Balancer bolt ✔
(Because I'm toying with the idea of a lightened balancer pulley from LC Engineering)

I did manage to hide a cool set of tail lights in that order though

 

Ordered my Kings today for all 4 corners. Now I wait.....and wait......still waiting
