Headlight assembly

[Jahosiphat]

now i got to find someone to paint my rims black(hand) wups i didnt say that(laugh)

^got any more pix of ur classic reD?

Haha man I am also planning on powder coating my 18 inch Enkeis black too! It's not fun finding someone, I've been looking for a while. I don'yt have any good pictures yet cause my car is still winterized. Once I do my headlights, rims and the center of my hood I'll take a ton haha. I'm shooting by the end of March to have all of it done. Actually it's custom painted: red Mazda rx-8 paint... he he.

Wow those are some really nice rims. I've been quoted about 200 - 300 for all 4, and that's if they don't need to be stripped.

 

[red95_240sx]

aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh.

well im not sure what powdercoating is, but i just want a pro shop to spray over em/dip em or whatever they gotta do. i dont plan to pay over the early 100s

Yeah, it is kinda expensive but powdercoating won't chip and is a very durable type of paint. They bake it in an oven to dry the paint on the rims. If it was only less pricey....

First picture is the rear of the headlight. You can see the wires leading to the 194 size connector. Those wires go into the front of that black square that has two pins. I've seen this kind of connector before, so I'm wondering if Ken can get one.

Second picture is another rear shot. Note the locking ring that is above the light on the floor.

Last picture is from the front. I did not remove the protective plastic so I don't scratch the hell out of them when I actually install them. At first glance, it appears that the corners could be swapped for other stock corners, but I didn't not test fit any.

The blacked out sections are the color of the plastic and not paint. On the top it appears that there are two plastic aiming screws.

that was my second thought as to what was going on with those. it basically has a little "jumper" wire to go from the harness connection to the city light bulb.

 

[red95_240sx]

you sure the daytime running light in there is a 194?

 

[BaD_HeX]

Pretty sure. It appears to be the same bulb size as the gauge cluster bulbs. I'll know early next week when I get the bulbs I ordered in the mail.

 

[red95_240sx]

yeah i ordered some white led 954. i want it to just show or define the headlight while its dark, but not actually put out any light or glare. i hope theireally not 2 bright to do this. i probly cud of went with clear ones from the store, but they usually have a little bit of amber.

 

[red95_240sx]

so is the corner light itnerchangeable?

Yeah the corner light is seperate from the main one. Just got them yesterday, they look amazing. Hopefully I'll have them in by Tuesday.

 

[red95_240sx]

well there went another $45 on the other style clear corners i want. i got a buyer for the clear ones though. plus the new black ones, I might bake the old headlights, and sell them as a set and get my money back.

 

[red95_240sx]

they look alot more huge than i thought. The corner light also projects just as much light, but the base for the bulb looks like a cheesy projector, plus i had already ordered the other kinda corner lights. hows the fitment?

Any luck with finding a plug to match that light before i just splice the wires?

I havn't put them on the car yet. I have yet to look really hard for a connector. I will probably just buy some single post connectors that will fit the metal posts on the back of the light and splice onto the parking lights when I put them on the car.

 

[red95_240sx]

Got mines installed. Maximize the pics. i got small captions in them.

 

[red95_240sx]

[red95_240sx]

[njaremka]

[Jahosiphat]

Very nice, I really like them on red. I'm glad I have them too. It gave me motivation to repaint my grills... now onto my hood and rims!

 

[red95_240sx]
