Sorry no updates, been busy trying to get my tahoe tuned.. Im sure you guys see that. lol.

But other than that, trying to find the time to talk to matt over the phone, so i can order my lights.

On another note, i got some Passat projector fogs im thinking of retroing also. lol. Just plugged them in tonite, looks pretty cool.

updated 1st post w/ a little item check list

post the output =)

Headlights are ordered. Be here next week. Talked to matt, probly going to order next week. Just need to find some cool led halos in a 70mm ring or so.

Also, projector fog, not going to work w/ stock housings, housings to small. To many other things going on for that right now.

i'll keep you guys updated.

 

[01HDtahoeNJN]

what headlights you get mike?

 

[Tahoewhat]

those ones i posted in the wanted section, you commented about. Figured id go a little different than my chrome i have now, so went for the black housings.

 

[01HDtahoeNJN]

sweet interested on how they will look probably great on your thoe...im still debating blck or chrome times running out though lol

 

[Tahoewhat]

yeah i was debating on either chrome or black also, but have chrome now, and w/ this project, the projectors are going to be chrome so i said, well i'll have some contrast and do black.

 

[Tahoewhat]

Well, been busy lately. But got the headlights in, projectors be here tuesday. Until then... suspense.. ha ha..

or just ask away if you want to know something..

I will say, matt @ TRS is awesome. Really easy to talk to, very helpful, always answered emails and all my crazy questions..

 

[01HDtahoeNJN]

so did you get daul projectors or are you doing singles for now? and what did you go with

 

[Tahoewhat]

4 mini morimotos h1's, black housing headlights, (clear) and looking for some led halo rings, still. For my quad, the mini's are really probably the only ones that will fit four of them. Looking at the rx which i liked, i would have to hack and chop and that would be w/ most of them. And this being my first time, i would rather do something easy for now and if i sell it, i can take these out and put them in anything i buy. So i thought about the pros and cons. They will be here tomorrow. then i just have to put all together if time allows me.

Im joining you on this one. Maybe we can work together on this. Ive started to disassemble my sonars last night and that was a pita. I have the tinted ones with the dual halo's and chrome housing. After getting them apart, i realize the halo's are shit and the housing is glued together with some amazing junk. Should get my projectors in next week.

Lol didn't want to say anything about the halos....the halos are shot now that you baked them or in general?...sonars aren't a bake friendly as depos ill be doing this after my bb tune I have a cai and vette servo and some cleaning to do till then ill sit back and watch what you guys do. You have a pic of your headlights stock robert?

Yup, I was worried about baking those Sonars....

 

[Tahoewhat]

Robert-- sounds like you have the same halos i have right now. Except mine are not tinted. Yeah the halos are junk, the whole light is, really. Its aftermarket flebay crap. But they are alright. Not bad. But i scratched putting real projectors in those b/c its moulded to the headlight housing. Have to drill out quite a bit. But it could work, i may still decide to do something w/ them.

Well i talked w/ matt @ TRS about baking apart sonars lights, he said not a problem has done some before, but i dont know. What seems to be the problem w/ them, just the glue is hard to get apart? Im thinking baking and heat gun and slow and patience might get the job done, hopefully.

But here's a pic if what came in, only half of it, but its all the same. New headlight and Mini.

 

[Robert.K]

Well i baked my other one today, and it was a whole lot easier then the first one. The glue is terribly hard.but i baked them at 315 for 10 minutes and they basically pulled apart with a little elbow grease. They break down into three part, fairly simple. And my halos and leds still work afterwards. But i am scrapping the halos for some real ccfl angel eyes. As soon as tapatalk is back up, i will post some pics of them apart.

Nice Mike. Can't wait to see the end result.

 

[Robert.K]

Here are the sonars apart, nothing special.

 

[Tahoewhat]

Exact same lights i have robert. Why you taken them apart? To change to ccfl? Dont remember if you said or not.

Going to try to bake my lights this weekend.
