Use a little imagination here rolleyes.gif


today I marked up how much I need to trim off the fender bottom edge and also the tubular part of the lamp on the bumper.
The idea is I wont need the middle lamps so I can have 1 as a air intake and the other to be flushed out.
The fitting of these lamps will be more aerodynamic than the stock ones and best of all, these are clear lense and have projector halos in them B)

this exact conversion was talked about maybe 2 years ago, the guy looking to do it changed his mind after seeing a photoshop of the car with them on.

it's a close fit. Good luck with this !

Its a projector halo lamp for a dodge neon. You just need to cut away some of the fixing brackets and it's less chunky so very easy to fit behind the bumper.
This is only made possible because I have fibreglass wings which I need to trim back a little.
It has everything you need in 1 cluster so I am going to do away with the middle high beams and the ugly rectangular indicators at the front.
Its so much better imo and will make the gen 6 look so much more cleaner.

I was literally thinking about using the Dodge neon projectors because i figured they'd be cheaper the 6gen projectors. Looks AMAZING! $130 for Neon projectors compared to $600-800 6gen projectors. How are you doing to neon wiring? I'm curious about that

$130 for these? Or for stock ones?
yes 6G projectors are ridiculously prices.
Wiring is easy. Just cut the wires and extend them to the outside lamp locations remembering which one is high, low, park likes and indicators.
Just buy your own plugs and rig them up.

wow thats different!! not sure what to think of it yet.

remember that the 6gc projectors have a glass lense thats why they are expensive. I believe toyota decided to keep our headlights glass (instead of plastic like the 93+ Supra) so that it would be a classy look and feel.

WOW!! i realy like that!! im in the process of working on the fron end of my celi, and was looking at the cost of replacement headlights.. (my dirves side high beem is now an aquarium, and excesive moisture in the pass one)

* how much did those set you back?
* what year dodge neon they off of?
* and what brand in particular are they?
oh and you said that you have fiberglass wing?? does that mean driver side and pass side front quarter panels?
if you could take pix of what you have to remove and ware from that would be great!!!
and incase it has not been said enough.. AWSOME idea, and even more awsome that you are one of the first w/ the ballz to just jump in and do it! woot.gif bowdown.gif
thank you vm

Be interesting to see it finished...

The layout of that light is very messy, but it will be something different.
