GB: Clear Lenses for headlights, 10/07/07 Update: Payment now being accepted! Options

[dustin15brown]

I'm def. interested, however the biggest issue is not knowing the quality of the lens. I don't want something that will haze within a couple years, I have to know if these lens will withstand the harshness of winter and road crap blast.

How thick will these lens be? What type of plastic will be used? Any protection coating and UV resistance? Will the lens be the exact shape of the old lens (on the outside)?

Ok here's what I got you K-ESD:
This is from an e-mail from Josh ".090 clear ext acrylic
not as thick as stock due to no vacuum strong enough to pull the acrylic down.... yet.

i have used the same lenses for over 3 years now on my car. 125,000 miles! not a thing wrong. but i dont live in the snow. but many of my customers live in canada and have had their projector lights for over 2 years in the snow. two customers sold their headlights (sold the cars) and still nothing wrong."
if you have more questions, keep them coming I want everyone to be as informed as humanly possible on these.

NEW NEWS: If you would like to ORDER projectors with your lenses and undertake retrofitting these in yourself, '06 infiniti FX35 D2S bi-xenon projectors are available for purchase also. The package deal would be
1) buy just one set of the lenses and the projectors at $195 + $13 shipping
2) buy both sets of lenses and then the projectors at a total of $275 + $13 shipping
*These prices are tentative prices and are not set in stone as of yet.

Edit: Also, those wishing to not messing with breaking their lenses or headlights, I will be offering a service for you to ship me your headlights and I will replace the lenses for you then ship them back to you. PM me for pricing and timetables

yep as long as I wasn't mistaken when I relayed this information. I will confirm it tomorrow. But remember, this is for the projector only, YOU would have to retrofit it AND make a housing

there's still room, hop on board...

FX35 projectors are bi-xenon, basicly your low beam celica unit will be both your high and low beams...I dont think that price is for 4 projectors.

I would jump into this but I just spend 300$ on denso ballast and, funnily, FX35 projectors for a custom retrofit...and I can't wait any longer to get started..probably later I'd be in for sure, if theres a way to get them later on too.

[Lovo]

you can get em later for more money, refer to his first post... i think its a 30-40 dollar difference plus shipping

[dustin15brown]

only 2 projectors rzanology :-P

[DeW_H0e_GT]

then add a set of projectors with the lows when the deals set in stone ONE thing, i thought u were gonna make a HOW-to?

if not, u guys can check out hondatuning (i think its either the may or june issue of 07). they explained a how-to on doing a projector conversion on a 1g TL......they too used the fx35 projectors in their project.....

ONE SMALL THING:

These lenses will only be GOOD if you are going to RETROFIT projectors in your headlights. If you put these clear lenses on your STOCK lights - you will not have ANY CUT OFF - and will be blinding EVERYONE ON THE ROAD. Cuz frosted lense on celica headlights is for proper light disperse and proper cut off.

On the newer cars (when they have clear glass and NO projectors) reflector housing is formed so - that it could disperse the light and make the cutoff, glass has no impact on all this. On our celicas - its vise versa (glass disperse the light and makes cutoff - reflector only focuses light to the glass)

I'm glad Romas wrote it first with much better English than I have I don't like nag at any project but he is true to the letter .

[lubu]

do the projectors come with bulbs?

[ra65_22re]

That sounds great. I wonder what it would look like if all four headlights were low and high beams? I'm in for a set. Could I get two sets of projectors?
