WHERE IS THE WHITE GSX or TSi's come on I know some one here that has them will post a pic.

Plz, with sugar on top.


hey i just purchased these headlights and have a 93 white eclipse gsx. ill post some pics up of them once i get them and put them on so you can see how it looks in white! it will probably be sometime next week.
 
if anyone is lookin to get these lights to also add HID's dont do it unless you add in a pair of oem audi projectors.. the housing isn't designed to hold HID's and just scatters the light and blinds other drivers... im still waiting on the guy to get back to me about my projectors i ordered so i can retro fit them in....

Yes... they scatter ALL over the place. I put in some aftermarket HID in my 1Gb housings... I can hardly see the road. But to other drivers the lights are very bright. To fix this, I got a set of Audi S4 OEM projector housings. I'm in the process of fiberglassing them in place of the low beam area. The finished product will be satin black inner housings with the projector looking very OEM. The only problem now is the OEM headlight lens has those damn diffuser lines all over.... Those new clear Euro lens would be perfect for my project since they are crystal clear. Is there any chance I could buy just the housing cover? I don't need the rest of the headligh assembly.

Just added CATZ XLO driving lights so I can see the road after ths pic was taken.
 
Don't know why your saying you don't see the road, I've got 6000K HID in the clear euro headlamp and it light up the road very well, better than stock.

What Kelvin rating is your HID's. More than 6000K is worthless to me, thats why I bough new 6000k bulb instead of my initial 10000k
 
the ones in my Talon are 6000k... I really wanted 4300k like the OEM on my 01 S4 that other OEM's use. But I can't find any aftermarkets that are 4100-4300k. 6000k was the lowest I could find at the time. On my S4... 4300's give a very white light... minimal glare. The 6000's have a very purple hue to them... so purple that they almost look like those cheapo colored bulbs. I think mine scatter becuase the bulbs don't seem to fit the housing right. I think I need to have the bulbs retrofitted with 9006 housings.

Umm I don't get it , did you bought a 9006 kit HID's kit? I don't see why they would not fit your stock housing....cuz they fitted perfect in mines
 
forgot to mention that the HID's had H7 bulbs... I'm using them temporarily in the 9006 sockets. The reason I didn't get 9006 is becuase H7 is what my set of Audi projectors use. I'm still in the process of installing the projectors in my extra set of 1gB headlight housings..... next thing you know... there'll be aftermarket black housing projector headlights for 1gB's knowing my luck. At least mine will have real HID projector housings from an Audi with the perfect refraction and cut-off.

duh , no wonder why your saying it dosen't light the road at all :thumbdown . Its like fixing a honda with ford parts, LOLl. Get the 9006 then you'll see
 
I got the headlights from "sprinter" great to deal with and very fast shipping. I think it was back in august. I couldn't be happier with them. They rock! I'll be picking up an HID kit soon.
 
damn. nobody of those guys from ebay ships these things to germany although i am a paypal-member. the only accept international orders with bidpay and i don't want to register my visa everywher your fore headlights.

ok so here is a link of pics of the euro lights on my 93 white gsx. I must say besides the euros looking 10X better than the stock lights there is also a huge improvement in visibility between these and the stock headlights. Atleast for me sense i live in the middle of no where with no street lights. I still need to get the silverstar signal bulbs that are amber when on and clear when off but these will do for now.


beware with 56k should take approx 3 mins to load.

OMG !!! RED23 that looks awesome ! I would loose the bra because it takes away from the lights :) seriously that gives the car a whole new look. Makes it look soooo much newer.

Thanks for those pics man !

thanks for the complimants! yeah i dont really like the bra either but i live in nj which is rock salt capital of the world haha! this is my daily driver that i commute on the highways with and no matter how far back i am from mac trucks i still get paint chips in my hood. so i have the bra to protect the paint for now. im just hoping the headlights stay chip free for a while.

I know its asking alot, but can u take the bra and plate off and take a pic ? I've tried to photoshop it but it don't look right. If you can, take the pic without the lights on. :)

Thanks

*obsessed with white dsm's LOL and PA is the capital of Salt and rock chips, i know what u mean !

yeah sure. i will try and take a pic sometime the end of this week or weekend for you without the bra. ill need to take the bra off to wash the car anyway! you should really think about getting a set of these lights though. i think they make the car look a lot newer as well! i bought mine from koaim1 on ebay. they had great communication and shipped them out the day after i purchased them.
 
when ya do take the plate and holder off as well :)

I will buy them once i see a naked 1g White frontend with them :)
 
Here's a shot of my HID's in the clear euro style lenses(still waiting for my Audi OEM projectors to come, so i can retrofit them in)

they dont look that blue in person. its just due to the shutter speed i had it set on..
 
WOW! that is a really nice picture. nice work

oh, and the HIDs look good too :D
 
9D2streetgsx: You should do the flasher delete mod like I did, i think it would look better. What I mean is , you get rid of the orange flasher that are always on even when not using them. You simply cut one wire on the flasher plug and your done.I think its the light green one with a white stripe on it.

So your flasher are still flashing when you use them but you dont see the orange ligh all day long.
 
I know some of you don't like the way the clear corner lenses look with these headlights so I came up with a solution of my own. I bought some brush on model paint called turn signal amber that I picked up at a local r/c car hobby store. If anyone is interested I can post a pic of the paint I used. They turned out much better than I expected and the paint was so easy to work with. Here are some pics

Cool, I've already got a bottle of that stuff. Did you brush it or use an airbrush for that? And why paint the clear ones instead of using your stock ones?

I'd love to look that way :thumb: , but watch out if your local cops are by-the-books on lighting/accessories (and also if you go on road-trips to locals where such enforcement can be a problem). Having no amber running-lights can be a ticket-able offense!

Sure would look slick, though!

Shouldn't be a problem since your corner light will still be on all the time, its only the front that are gone. So it should ba allright ;)
