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.

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.

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
