Aftermarket headlights?

Hey guys,

First post here :) hoping you can help since I can't seem to find any info anywhere...

First 2 pictures I've attached, show color changing lights. Next 2 pictures show when turning the orange indicator sort of goes around the headlights and then reverts back to both headlights on.

What kind of lights are these, and where can i find them? 

 

Thanks

Very insightful but I don't think thats how stock headlights work. Would appreciate if someone could point me in any direction for this?


I think you will find that you need to break open the headlight. Gut them, then replace with LED and controller circuitry.

This allows you to create whatever pattern/colour you want.

Don't expect them to last though (from what I've read).

BTW if you're interested in retrofitting, you can follow that linked thread I put up earlier. I have a bunch of projectors (waiting for RX350 ones to arrive from Japan).

I'll be posting my findings soon-ish.

Splitting the housing is fairly easy, glass lens + thick plastic housing = bake in oven and pull apart.

Just make sure you set the oven on fan forced not grill. i Learnt that the hard way lol

Lol yeah first time I melted the housing. I now use heat gun, safer but takes longer.

Morimoto Mini H1 6.0 5.0 projectors (I bought them years ago, never used it), going to paint the surround and assemble tomorrow. Will sell after Monday's track day.

if you sell them i might have a mate keen on them

I just did pretty much what you looking at minus the demon eye. I went with the D2S and led lights in the housing. As stated above I also sourced my D2S projectors from the retrofit source (demon eyes not my thing) everything else I pieced together from eBay.

Found some nifty connectors and a tad bit of fab made my own harness to a none forgiving existing hid kit

Cut a secured led strip into glass. Back in the oven at 170 for 10-15mins with some additional butyl (also sourced from eBay) and together she went IMG_4619.thumb.JPG.c758c7187fef481e7d60a5f3b3095601.JPG

Only thing I'm trying to figure out now is whether I want to tint (left housing) or not (right housing). Turn signals will be smoked so leaning towards a matching look.

    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
