Custom Er34 / Bnr34 Hid Headlights

[EvoXenoN]

G'day ppl,

Thought Id start this thread to show you a custom set of ER34/BNR34 HID HLs that I'm going to be finishing hopefully this weekend.

The custom projector HLs that I've seen on the net so far look like Sh!t tbh...

Here are the specs & parts list for the HLs:

* Full Satin Black finish using VHT Prime Coat SP305. Produces an effortless smooth finish

* Honda Euro (aka: TSX) HID projectors sourced by Jesse Streeter off Yahoo Auctions Japan

* 2.5" TSX-R clear lenses from TheRetrofofitSource . com

* 3" OEM E46 shrouds with the XENON logo. Sourced from eBay

Let the pix begin:

RHS HL pulled apart. High beam reflector masked up to keep dust free:

OEM E46 shroud will be retrofitted to sit inside the HID reflector:

Pic of both XENON logos. Unfortunately, the R34 one has to go:

The reflector is attached to the HL housing at 3 points. I took these pics so I could see the position on the adjustment screw for when it comes time to removing the reflector off the HL.

Here's a pic of the Honda Euro projector disassembled. The cut off shield is masked and ready for paint:

Crappy OEM fresnel lense vs Aftermarket TSX-R clear lense. You can see "swirling" effect on the lense. This is designed to blur the output. The TSX-Rs will sharpen it all up:

Not a cheap exercise if you get it wrong, thumbs up for going to the effort

Ballsy move slicing and dicing a set of 34 headlights. Although I've been seriously looking into a projector conversion, with a $1K tag to the headlights,

[shinobi_s14]

^ he's game cause they're my HL's haha. But nah Steve knows what he's doing. He's work is nothing short of perfect, can't wait til they're done

[EvoXenoN]

Yeah I'm "extremely game" and I've been known to "get it wrong" most of the time

You have no idea shinobi_s14 on what a "ballsy move" I'm doing to your HLs. Ask the last guy how impressed he was when I was "slicing and dicing" his Kia HLs

Check out my username, "EvoXenoN" for google pix of all the headlights that I've stuffed up HERE.. So funny!!!

You've got balls to let someone chop it up! but keen to see the end result, I really want projectors on mine as well. might yet Steven to do it too if hes offering services

UPDATE #2

RHS HL fitted to car and ready for the projector to be rotationally aligned before getting permanently fixed in

Centre of the projector lense is measured to the ground. The figure in this case is 590mm

I didn't have a long stretch of wall to test and align the output so I improvised. I stacked up a few orange containers and stuck A4 pieces of paper in the middle. The light will shine somewhere in the middle of the paper across all three stacks. They've been placed about 5m from the car

Close up of the A4 paper showing a strip of black electrical tape stuck on. The top edge of the electrical tape is measured at 565mm from the ground. This is 25mm lower than the height of the middle of the projector to the ground. The low beam output will be aligned to this height.

Here's a pic showing the Honda Euro projector in the low beam reflector

Close up of one of the corner shows the application of JB Weld to help bond the projector to the reflector. I did this on 2 other areas and waited about 20min for the bond to harden

OEM reflectors removed from the HL housing then more JB Weld applied around the projector.

Projector body and lense masked for paint

Blacked out

XENON logo masked on the OEM E46 shroud and ready for about 3 coats of white paint. It takes me about 1hr to mask one shroud... That's 2hrs right there.. Lots of tiny pieces of masking tape

Parker housing masked as the surrounding area will be blacked out

Everything fitted up minus the lenses. They were quite yellow from oxidation that they wouldn't show any detail of the work I've done

Stay tuned for when the HLs are polished + install pix...

[EvoXenoN]

^^ oops... Wrong link..

Here ya go... RHS housing fully blacked out.... LHS still in its original paint scheme:

[xntrq]

That's jizz. Nuff said, take my money and do mine!

[RusH_]

Looking forward to seeing them fitted and working, very terminator!
