must be nice to have 3 celicas lol

yup i gotz 3 and a half...

i have 3 as well

Lol, I've had 5 now. That's about 3 too many.

Cameron, as Trace said, I sold him the blue Celica, and the red Celica will hopefully be going to the scrap yard in the next few days, so I won't have a Celica anymore. I'll just be working on the BEAMS from time to time. All that's in store right now is some body work and more troubleshooting.

The projectors are awesome. I gotta say, I'm not fond of the look. It's a big headlight and a little bitty projector. I can tell the whole design was added after the car was already designed. Like it's not really supposed to be there. But as far as function goes, they're a lot better than the headlights we pulled out of the car. They're still on a test run right now to see if they cutoff is too bad and if we need to open them up but so far so good. Now to move on to the other stuff... Still having problems with the BEAMS and still in need of a GT4 hood, but the BEAMS comes first.

So what you're saying is that projectors really are not secks?

What a day...

Not to me, not from a visual standpoint. I know that 99% of Celica owners like them though, so it's just an isolated opinion. The point is Brigette likes them, I got a steal on them, and the light output is better than the old lights.

Right, I like them as well, and I thought you did from pictures. I'm just surprised that it turns out to be different in real life.

Nope. I am now, and generally always have been, anti-projectors. It's way too much money to park the BEAMS next to a Celica without projectors for nobody to ever notice the difference. Even if they do notice the projectors, they won't ever guess how much the lights cost. It's a colossal waste of money in my eyes. And, as I said, I can tell that the projectors were added a few years after the car was already designed so they don't really flow. But that's strictly my opinion and I know the majority doesn't agree with that opinion. They're functional and she likes them, so that's all that matters.

cool addition bro. the projectors illuminate the road so much better. If you put hid in stock headlights, the lighting goes outwards in all directions and doesn't shoot as far down the road.

Very nice install Dan and Brigette. I will guess that the pictures of the car on the road were taken by Dan...



Also, I may will be rummaging through the FS post for the red car today...I may need a part or two before you scrap it.

yup... totally dan in the refection with the camera

Super fail on my part.

My apologies to Brigette.

Lol yeah, this was Brigette's photoshoot. I stood back and watched. She had to go to work so the shoot got cut short and we didn't really have a lot of pictures to work with. I might try to get one more shoot in before winter but I doubt it.

Haha No big deal. I'm a terrible photographer. I told Daniel it'd be better if he took the pictures, but he insisted and he's stubborn

Fixed.

You can feel the love in this thread.

Here's an interesting picture. On the left, Brigette's car with the projectors and 35w, 4,500k HID's. On the right, my IS 300 with OEM 35w 4,300K HID's. I think she wins.



By the way, her lights aren't aimed high, mine are just aimed low. And due to recent fail, they can't be adjusted. I'm not worried about it though, they're still usable.

Wow. The difference between the two is very noticeable angle and intensity-wise. Both are clearly brighter than my headlights though so the real loser here would be me.

Did you mess up the angle somehow Dan?
