3rd Gen - Quad LED Projector Retrofit

Tinting the drl, did you do just the lens or reflector that sits behind the lens as well?

 

Lens only. Not the reflector bowl.

 

Thanks man

 

I want!! Gimme!!

 

Soooo what brand/size are those halos?

 

Does blacking out the side-facing, uh, sides, impact performance at all?

 

Not really

 

little update;
These have been sitting on my shelf since I have been testing the Morimoto's in my truck. I figured they needed some love(plus one of the DRL boards was toast) so time to kick it up a notch.




This is going the brightest DRL known to tacos. It will be using 12ea Luxeon Rebel amber emitters; powered in groups of 3 off a 1000mA buckpuck Driver (~325mA ea)
Thermal epoxied to a custom 1/4" aluminum heatsink(same shape as OEM board so It bolts in) and most importantly utilizing the factory optics for maximum efficiency.
It's gonna be bright!

 

Are these for sale yet?

 

Are these orange inserts for sale yet?

 

@MESO Regarding the orange acrylic signal cover:
1: Looks like your using 1/8" sheet acrylic?
2: You're heating the piece and pressing it against the fins to mold it?
3: How are you attaching the acrylic to the fins?

Love that diffused orange look!

 

1/8 acrylic. I buy the 12”x12” sheets. Cut into quadrants. Throw a 6”x6” in my toaster oven until very plyable(this is key). Press it on the backside of the signals “gills” to take shape.(use gloves- really hot). Once cool, I trace the outline(easy because it’s clear) and trim with my ultrasonic knife. Finally, take 2 part epoxy(gel is better since it’s thicker and will not run) and go around the entire perimeter mating the 2 together.
Good luck!

 

@MESO You, Sir, Rock! Thank you!

 

Curious where you got the acrylic from. I'm guessing TAP but I would like to do some custom stuff with my 2nd gen.
