Are you sure? Because most modern cars have dual projectors

car_photo_367084_25.jpg

I stand corrected :blush: , obviosuly they've designed them to disperse light more than a low beam, wouldnt be to hard i guess just a bigger lens.

I may be interested depends on costs and design of product, because i am looking at doing a projector retro fit soon.

Yeah I'd personally be looking at a Bi-Xenon in the lowbeam position and leaving the factory reflector in the highbeam.

The bi-xenon projector uses a motor to alter the shroud position when flicking to high beam and allow the light to disperse in a different pattern. So basically what I mean is to wire the bi-xenon lamp to operate in high beam at the same time as the reflector.

Its not ideal to run a seperate HID high beam because HID lamps take a few seconds to reach full output and their service life is reduced by frequently flashing on and off. I suspect the picture above maybe be showing a Halogen highbeam projector setup....

Righteo got some good news from the boys in Aus :blush:

Hi Phillip,

I would be more than happy to manufacture some new R33 lights. My only concern is the indicators, as they must be diffused. Might have to add a refractor behind the glass.

Yes, most supra member mail us there headlights and we fit and set them back. Or we sell kit kits with a DIY guide.

I have spoken with Steve from SAU. He gave me the go ahead to put up an interest thread.

Just trying to find a cheap pair of lights to work on.

Kind Regards,

Rich

So hopefully there will be something available for us soon!! Finally!!

Not sure about the indicator thing, I think he ment the parkers on the side. I just sent him a general photo.

No criteria as of yet, I said we could all design and agree on something. We could do something multipurpose on the side that could be an indicator or a parker depending on what people wanted.

Ahh nice find. I sent them a link to this thread so they will see that. Worse comes to worse I will buy another second hand set and send them my current ones to work on as my current ones aren't the best condition.

Very excited about this guys :blush:

would they be reconditioning/cleaning the lense as well or just fitting the projectors?

I guess it would depend on wheather it ends up being a DIY kit or the full service...

I mentioned to them getting the headlights modified with modern projectors (or to what ever people wanted) and I also mentioned the possibility of getting new lenses done in plastic or glass.

They do gorgeous work with Supra headlights in new plastic or glass lenses. I think it would really depend on how many people would be keen. If 50 people said "I want new plastic/glass lenses" then i'm sure they would look into manufacturing them.

We will have to wait and see I suppose.

I would be very interested in new lenses (glass would be awesome if it's not too much more expensive) and an HID projector conversion that looks as subtle as possible. Factory look with much better light output = win.

Guys, what we have all been waiting for!

What we plan to do is make a nice and newly shaped re-mould of the headlight out of 2x2 twill carbon fibre, which will accommodate the new 90mm low beam projectors. We will leave the high beam as is, otherwise it will become too expensive with another set of projectors. We plan to isolate the bulb behind the diffuser in its own little compartment. We will cover the compartment with a new diffuser. Finally we will make a new one piece hand curved glass lens, with a ceramic black border. It will have no diffuser lines and will be crystal clear too show off the carbon fibre.

I also talked to my supplier for HELLA 90mm D2S projector kit, complete with a gen 3 ballast and adjuster.

OMFG I can't wait!! I will either let Rich (SPINTO) organise the group buy if he wishes to sign up or I will organise it on behalf of him if they don't want to have the hassel. I can see a lot of people wanting something like this and it is a long time coming. Let as many people know as you can so we can get as many people in on it to bring the price down. At the end of the day I don't think price is going to be a concern once people see how amazing this will look.

Cheers guys.

Phil

    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
