ya, I just think it would look better if it matched the black or didnt have the dimples, something more like the E55 shrouds, only I'd want them body matched rather then chrome since i don't have any chrome

the more i look at these the more picky i get and makes me want to just retrofit

 

Thanks. They did look good. Especially after fixing the gap.

There was a guy on here that removed the halo's on his sonar's. You could try that and paint the chrome ring black.

 

The Guz,

you have a link to the thread by any chance ?

 

I don't have a link to the thread. But I do remember reading it.

 

I have the sonars, and the weatherstripping on one light has completely come off in under 2 months of use and the fitment is utterly horrible and the headlight actually shakes bad like its not in right but it is. Combined with a bad ddm ballast, can't say im thrilled! When the car comes out of storage, mucho work to be done. I think i got a bad batch.

 

I'm somewhat of a noob when it comes to projectors, what size bulb do you use? If i'm not mistaken there's 2-3 different projector style headlights for Camaro's. I still have one of the first sets that came out and they are horrible! I want to upgrade to those sonar ones but i want to know what bulbs they use. Anyway here's a couple of pics of my current ones.

 

Sonars use H1.

 

I got the sonars as well and the gap is terrible. Not to mention the rubber started to come off within a week. Going to get the projectors and use washers to get rid of the gap. Ebay has projectors that come with hid already installed. All plug and play. I might try those out

 

There is a screw you can adjust gap with.

 

I did the whistler mod and did the H.I.D.'s 6000k headlight and fog's just need to get a pic at night ill post one up at night.

 

my fx-r projectors.... almost complete. should be done by the beginning of next week. Cutoff pic is just from one light(the car is sitting crooked)

 

So it sounds like the sonars are a better projector setup? (even though to me the eagle eyes do look a bit better) Can you swap the bulb for say a ddm tuning HID H1 bulb kit?

 

Ec Nova,


Your setup is exactly what I would love to have. I want a projector to have the really nice cutoff and better visibility but, I hate all these extra things aftermarket headlights have.

 

I can't wait for it to be done! I'm a little worried about how they'll be aligned... but worst case I'll buy another set of projectors and do my other set of headlight... except take my time and do it right lol

i just saw these on ebay and thought u might wanna take a look at them too... idk if i like the r8 led strip too much tho but it is another option... i wonder does anyone on here know if those projectors are good like the sonars?

 

I've seen those too... if I had the money I'd buy them just to experiment with them. They use an H1 bulb like the Sonars, and have a deeper projector, so it is possible they are decent, but not guaranteed. I wonder who makes them. If it is Eagle Eyes I'd be doubtful of the projector quality and cutoff, personally.

 

somebody please tell me where i can find the stock headlights with black housing, ive looked everywhere!

sorry,

 

here is mine

 

You cant. You need to open them up and paint them.

 

Cool, just out of curiousity do you ever hangout at New Era in Gates?
