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.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • 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
