halo headlights

[kiki]

does anyone know if there are halo headlights available for the P5? If not, what is your suggestion for cool lights

[Flash5]

not sure if the kit is still around but yea there is a kit specifically for the p5 headlight. forget who makes it but DDM keeps popping up in my mind. not exactly the best kit i have ever seen but its something.

[Flash5]

not ddm lol but i was in the right mid frame i guess. xenon expert has them, DDE demon eyes.

not a specific replacement light available or anything but you can purchase kits to make your own DDE Angel Eyes. Therefore, the only way to have angels in a P5 is if you bake and pull apart the headlight housing. Otherwise, HID's are the way to go!

there we go just as posted above haha beat me to it!

unfortunately the pic wasn't as good as the others, so are you saying that the lens has to be completely broken apart, or does it come apart, cuase i haven't actually looked at my lenses. cause i really think those are boss looking

[Flash5]

u gotta remove your headlight housing, throw it in the oven to melt the glue holding it together. then from there u pull it apart and install the kit, i dont know what else you have to do but yea. many people have pulled their headlights apart before so that isnt unfamiliar, but this kit is rare on our cars. i think someone did a how to on them but im not positive.

damn that sounds really ruff, and kinda sketch, thanks

thats exactly right .. here's the link for headlight painting. Just as I said you have to bake the light haha I wasn't kidding! It separates the glue and allows you to pull it apart and gain access to the inside.

yea the DDE kit is pretty cool... as for installation... it's pretty tedious
I've had it on my car for quite some time now... the only thing i would suggest is ordering extra sets of inverters cuz i've burned out a ton... next set that comes in (hopefully soon) i will silicone all the cracks on the inverters and put lot's of black tape on the connectors... any type of water will burn out the inverters...

all in all i would recommend them... they are sweet

My pictures don't really do any justice... they are really a lot brighter...

whats the light output on halo lights versus regular head lights?

[mx-p5]

the halo's are just little rings that look cool, they do not put out light to drive by

And those DDM kits are actually insatlled in a stock headlight, so, output is the same

[Flash5]

yea they have no effect on the output of light

[mx-p5]

I know they aren't halo's, but, they are projectors

Always an option

[Lockleaf]

[mx-p5]

Why don't you get on that yourself? lo

hit up chicoloco

He's whose working on mine

[Lockleaf]

Too broke too busy. Working on 240sx project, protege is secondary :) Way to go Chicoloco!!!

[pfiver]

hey just a thought, so if you have to bake the headlamps to separate the glue, do you have to re-glue them when you put them back together?


....also are the projector lights on pg?
