Headlight Question

Vegas_Sirk · 07-20-2007, 06:02 PM

What headlights are these:

And where can you buy them ???

evoi19 · 07-20-2007, 08:37 PM

Those are euro spec headlights. Unfortunately the US cars don't come with them. You can try germany ebay and there are a few members who can get them here. ADHD has/can get them for you.

A set was just sold in 2 hrs today for at an unbelievable price of $900 NEW. They usually go for 1400 to 1600.

the 900 one is none-adaptive. the adaptive ones are usually a bit more.

ugh you buy them here or ebay theres a set for about 1300 non adaptives.....i should know.....i have the most WTB posts on xenons ...i just lost out on the 900 dollar extravaganza! =(

nice

Is that a new front lip or a whole new front bumper.

I like this one

KL2DC · 07-21-2007, 08:37 AM

Yep..those are Euro Xenons. I believe the angel eyes mod is Brex. That is a nicely installed/molded in 3D Studie front lip on an M-Tech front.

RANJHA · 07-21-2007, 09:01 AM

if u dont want to spend money on the euro headlights, ask marc to make the carbon fiber ones for you!

lol im still waiting for mine

Vegas_Sirk · 07-21-2007, 01:58 PM

SO the Euro headlights are going to be over $1000 Im guessing with adaptive. Is there anyone that pulls them apart and removes the amber piece here in the US? On my old evo thats all I did was bake them ... pull them apart ... and either remove the amber or paint it.

Not that simple.
Cannot bake them. Plastic starts to melt before the glue.
some have been able to open them with a heat gun.
Not an easy task and very risky. I was able to open a busted light I got from ebay, but decided it was too risky to try with my own headlights.

There are some DIY instructions. Go search for them so you get an idea of effort. And if you do try... be very very careful with the AEs

evoi19 · 07-21-2007, 03:14 PM

i believe mds has done it before. But it is very tricky and time consuming.

jetblk328i · 07-21-2007, 09:33 PM

yea i heard it was hard, maybe by trying to save the money, youll end up losing more, no euros and busted US specs you cant sell to me

Yea with the Evo lights a lot of people use heat guns but they are actually worst as they only heat up one section. With the oven you set it to 250 F and let them sit in there for 5-10 min and the glue pulls apart. Ive even done them to my friend's A4 lights. My only concern is messing up the auto leveling.

bigjae1976 · 07-23-2007, 12:18 AM

I don't think baking them will mess up the auto leveling. I baked my E46 headlights to install some angel eyes and the auto leveling still works.

Good to know

OC Guy · 07-23-2007, 12:05 PM

Just get the Euro headlights, you gotta pay to play.

Vegas_Sirk · 07-23-2007, 12:25 PM

$900+ is such a waste of money thou to get rid of a stupid amber piece. You know what I mean ???

Knightsport · 07-23-2007, 12:53 PM

I think I'll just pay.

I baked my Supra lights to clean them up and it was VERY time consuming.

Vegas_Sirk · 07-23-2007, 12:58 PM

I did my evo lights and it took me an hour to pull them off the car / bake them / paint the amber pieces / put back together / and re install. $900 and hour is a hell of an hourly rate lol .... even if it took me 4 hours still a pretty good savings and I know Im coming off as cheap ... but Im really not as like in my post above $900 to get rid of a amber piece sucks.
