Trying to find the housing for this? https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QEhJQZTd2JA&ved=2ahUKEwiFgc_55cPxAhWylWoFHef3AtgQxa8BegQIBxAE&usg=AOvVaw0m_qSj6k8q4j_1wWqkrMNu

Looks like the spyder housing with an added halo on the inside projector and a rgb led strip wired to white with some sort of voltage regulator to make it go yellow and do a pattern when turn signal relay kicks on?

Those might be a little "ricy" but I think that's the coolest #%@$ I've ever seen tbh, and with a little luck at the casino tonight. I want them. How do?

Could it really be as simple as some angel eyes on a spyder housing with a programmable led strip?

So just so I'm not missing anything this guide for his install

I have some 97-99 stock headlights but I'm not sure I'd achieve the same look as the video posted prior, so, probably have to go with these headlights. (I own a 95 gsx but im assuming theyll still fit as I have a catfish front)

The second link from vivid, looks like I need to retrofit another projector for the hid bulbs which is fine since itll let me go the dual halo route. Still a bit confused about which plastic lens type is actually correct for this though.

Anyone have any ideas about how they got that led strip to flash with turn signal?

I wouldn't recommend the eBay projector headlights. The projector is garbage as well as the bulbs (if you even get any), and if you have to buy bulbs, the size is typically used for something like a fog light.

If you want the look in the first video, I would use some new OEM style headlights, usually found on eBay for around $100. I wouldn't recommend cutting up the OEM Stanley headlights, but that's just me. Then I would retrofit 1 or 2 projectors in it depending on what I wanted (the first video only has one projector per housing). The projectors you can buy form let's say TheRetrofitSource would be better than what comes in those eBay projector headlights. Then add some halos to the projector shroud (the eBay headlight halos are junk too btw, you can buy better). You could even throw some demon eyes in the projectors if you wanted to. And lastly you can add your led strip at the bottom. I'm not sure about the wiring, I'm sure there are a few ways you could do it, and I'm sure it's not too difficult as long as you have everything you need.


Or ….. you could try this, and retrofit some Acura jewel projectors :sneaky:
I've seen a few people do this, but not many.

Here's a link to the video:

Gotcha, so something like this combo

Since I'm replacing the base headlights with the hid kit I shouldn't necessarily worry too much about the high beams I'd imagine based off testimonies of others who've done the same. Because I really like the turn signals.
 
I shouldn't necessarily worry too much about the high beams
The projectors you have selected are Bi-xenon, which means they have both high and low beam functions. In simple terms when you switch to high beams, there is a small shield that drops and lets light flood the projector, instead of being cut-off like the low beams.
 
Oh okay that's even cooler, so then the projectors on the outside of the light would just basically be static halos? I kinda like that more actually. I appreciate all the help, you're a rockstar man. I can probably just find a youtube video of how to do the led strips.
 
This is the projector: a bulb/ hid goes in here

This is the projector shroud: (basically a beauty ring for the projector)

Here is a flexible led strip, that's a switchback, so it basically acts like a drl and when you turn your blinker on it blinks yellow:

What an extremely helpful and time consuming post man, thank you so much for replying and helping me with this. I think I've got the list figured out now
