HEY eveyrone i really need a quick favor , im currently moving so i dont have internet to acess daily , my 06 asm civic ex got vandle "tagged" and car is taken care of in "watsonville auto body " WAB" http://www.watsonvilleautobody.com/ from the insurance , but HERE is where i need my favor , i need to know where they can get my projector head lights from , i bought my set off ebay and was lucked out with no issues but these are damged by the "baked" spray can , so therefore i need to get new ones , and i was wondering where is a "real professional " ones ? i found this website

http://autocityimports.com/200....html

but i dont know if these have or are from the same of ebay's. I also need the tail lights , http://autocityimports.com/200....html


basicly i dont want to run into issues such as gasket seals broken or fogged or projector not aimed right etc etc ....


their were some projectors on ebay that had the hid stuff , i realy want hid as well i want someting strong blue like this , but is it possible to put it with projectors? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...wItem

 

they have hid ktis...i dont know about projectors. kinda ricey.

 

who's they? if you mean autocity imports yeah i just saw that they have hid kits and the headlights/tail lights i need , but i need to know if these are the same assembly line as the ones provider by the sellers @ ebay , ..... and i dont care if they are ricey or w/e but i love they way they look for me better then oem , can anyone please help

 

Yeah man there the same as the ebay ones . Here check em out http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...QrdZ1

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...QrdZ1

Oh and please stop reffering them as JDM in your sig because there not.

 

get hid kits from xenondepot.com...install them yourself. same thing as projectors. basically.

 

originalg00kster the body shop and my insurance are taking care of it i only pay my deductable so i dont deal with installs i just look for the parts they buy and install , man i love AAA and mInI m3 Hondeezy i know they are the same ones but what i mean is could it be the same factory just sending them to diffrent sellers? or these could be more autentic (miss spell) then the ebay ones?

oh and sorry havnt had a chance to edit my sig no internet moving .....

 

Hey if you need a left taillight only (I dont know where you took impact) I can sell you mine, as I have it left over from my accident.

My right one got busted up, but the left one is still completely in tact, let me know if you want it. I'll sell it for 75$ + shipping.

 

guys as much as i would love to buy off some of you , the bodyshop needs a online store and i want to be on the safe side from gasket seals foggy projectors aimed right etc etc ,.... and im not putting them out of my pocket its insurance with body shop and i need complete sets....

 

I was just making an offer, I didn't know what you needed.

The lights you have posted are identical to the ebay ones and they all are going to have the same exact qualities. I'll tell you right now, none of the projectors are aimed "right", they all produce less light visibility than true retro headlights that are properly aimed. These are so cheap compared to real retroed headlights (~$1000) because they are put together quickly and made of cheap plastic. Any of these lights run the risk of becoming foggy overtime, just so you know.

 

so where can i get a ledgitment purchase? well atlest the body shop? i want better then oem quality looks and visability ....

 

search retro fit, or something to that effect. there will probably be a site in one of those. will the ins. comp. pay 1000+ to replace your headlights? if so i would go that rout

 

http://www.customlightz.com they do the "real" retrofit.

whats wrong with the work?

 

no lol the work is excellent for what i'v seen some ppl posting pix but what i mean how the projector actually looks like is what i mean , my question is can they fix one of those ebay projector type on their work on what they are soo good about?

my taste is like this , i want better then oem quality visablity and i also want it to look like the projectors i had . i also want a blue hid set up but most importanly right now i need to get the projector headlights but i dont want crap so thats what im wondering about these guys or anywhere else online that i or the body shop can purchase from , and what price?

OEM quality is the best quality! Those aftermarket projector headlights are so cheaply made; from the silicone to the metal bracket.

If you insist, and the ebay headlights are appealing to you, then I would suggest E46 or Valeo projectors, since they are small enough. The staight cutoff; will be interesting to see.

so your the guy that is from custom lights? its cuz i like the way the ebay projectors look like but since i can do hid over projectors (80k) blue only

that would resolve the visability issue over these isnt it? or is cut off line still an issue? im a bit confused on that and such , i dont wanna modify i just want to just plug n play which i was able to do on these lights .

would the e46`s be capable of handling an hid setup?

 

wait let me get this straight(pardon me if I'm wrong), you want better visibility yet you want blue lights? i take offense to that

yes i want better visablity and if possible to throw in some blue into it . now i mean better visablity then the oem / ebay aftermarket projectors

cuz i dont like the way the oem head lights look , i love the aftermarket black projectors but they have issues and i dont wanna go oem retro method so can i just add aftermarket projectors + hid kit say 6k or 8k and have better visablity over oem?

 

anything past 5,000K will get washed away and it'd be the same as halogens but with the "blue" effect.

E46 projector is an OEM HID projector. As a matter of fact, it's the 3-series BMW HID projectors.

I have a little bit of a hard time understanding the question.

The cutoff line; how straight the OEM HID projector will sit on the ebay headlights, will be an issue, since the halogen projectors are small, and won't allow for any type of projectors to fit in there i.e. tsx and s2000, which are relatively large. I suggested E46 and Valeo, since those projectors are smaller, and would have the best chance of getting retrofitted into the ebay headlights. By no mean, do I recommending this...far from it, but if you absolutely want a retrofit done to those ebay headlights, I would give the E46 and Valeo's a shot before S2000 projectors.

I hope this makes sense.

As far as 6000K bulbs, it won't make it that blue, though 8000 will.

You have to remember that the blue color flickering you see on OEM cars, is not from the bulb, but from the PROJECTOR CUTOFF. The foreground color is due to the bulb, but what people try to mimic is the color flickering, which is once again due to the projector cutoff.

Going with a high kelvin rated bulb will like striker says actually decrease the lightoutput, and with a high rating won't be much brighter than halogens, especially, when sticking those HID bulbs into a halgen headlight/projector.

wow i have a better understanding of this hid set up / projectors what not , but a question to you custom lightz , i saw thes aftermarket headlights retrofited with a tsx projectors ( thats the lense right?) some guy was on the same step as me, he like the aftermarket housing but ugraded the lense ? projectors with tsx and got amazing results.... he made a thread and this is basily what i want but i dont know do what i need to buy supplies projector tsx lense? etc etc please help http://www.8thcivic.com/forums...33800

 

U need to buy tsx projectors and swap them in...that's all you need to do..
then you need ballasts and bulbs

 

bulbs would have to be d2s or 9006? and would my drl (daylight lights?) be working?
