YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Low beam is the most important, imo, I rarely use the high beams so a little distortion, oh well. Are you still going to wait on the other sample to come int prior to making a decision?

No I told them to hold them. The other kits would be the same, only thing different would be the angel eye and the factory plug.So at this point I asked my contact to get me final pricing.They would ship me all the kits then I would have to ship them out to everyone else.It's better to do it this way, less chance of losing 10-20 kits then one kit that is drop shipped to everyone.

Good deal! Eager to here the final outcome. I know that I'm probably jumping the gun, but will we be able to choose the Kelvin & halo color?

By reflectors, I'm assuming you are refering to the chrome part that aids the halogens correct? The anticipation is killing me lol. I can't wait to see them blacked out with the killer projectors!!!!

Easy peasy.Think of it as simply replacing your bulb with a new one.

they are in and wired, working, except for my angel eyes, the switch i was going to use, the mounting screw broke, so those aren't wired. Tomorrow..... but there is one problem... it's raining cats and dogs right now and i cant make final fittings and photos.Just before the rain started I snaped a few photos.

got a break in the rain. So i got them adjusted pritty well. After I bake them back together again I will check alinement again and button everything back up.Yes i know they need to be lowered a touch to be closer to my halogen output.Don't be haten, just cuz i'm the first vibe with projectors, other than sema cars. HAHAHADaily Driver baby.

Drivers side is slightly lower than passenger. Overall, good aligning.

usually most cars come that way...the driver side is slightly lower than the passenger side.looking good so far. but i would highly suggest using a bigger shroud to cover up the projectors? on one of my previous retrofits i didn't use a shroud and the headlights looked like bug eyes lol

The kit comes with new sealant, but i was careful when i pulled them apart so all i had to do was re-heat the glue and press everything back together... If in the next few weeks I have an issue with moisture, I will use some of the provided sealant that came with the kit.

Re: UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by keithvibe
this is a direct copy and paste from MOOk Update time:Took new photos. And got everything adjusted. And here is MY honest opinion.The projectors produce a very nice pattern. HOWEVER, There is a slight upturn on the ends of the light now that they are mounted in the headlight housing. It's the housing causing the issue. Not the Projector. It wasn't there before I mounted them in to the headlamp.I drove around for about 15-20mins tonight after I got the height just right.I didn't have one person flash me, so thats a good sign.As for light out put, I am used to my 6000k bulbs so these seem dimer, because they are 4300k. They throw a decent distance. I can't say for certain that everyone will be happy with these. Everyone is different. But for me they are a huge step up from the stockers. I know everyone is dieing to see more photos.I wish i could compare them side by side with another vibe to see the difference.I will see what i can do to make that happen.Light throwlow beam You can see the slight upturn on the ends, it kinda looks like a "(" the lowest point being in the middleHigh beam

You said something earlier about a switch for the angel eyes right? Is the switch to turn only the angel eyes on/off? Or is it for the whole light? And if not, are the angel eyes always on with the lights?

And if not, are the angel eyes always on with the lights?I wired the angel eyes to a switch that is only active when the car is started or the key is turned to the IGN on position.It's just for the angel eye. the projectors are operated by the stock switch on the stalk, along with the highbeam.

great work! looks good =D now it's the fun part...driving it at night haha i must say it's very hypnotizing watching the sharp cutoff go up and down as you drive...it's awsome!
Re: (keithvibe)
Posted: Sun Nov 16, 2008 8:24 pm
by keithvibe
Ok a follow up. The upturn wasn't the head lamp the projector shifted a tiny bit in the housing to cause the upturn on the driver side. All fixed and level again.
