how much for C6 projectors? and I hate stuff that is not in inches, damn it now i have to go convert lol.

 

e46 are one of the shortest projectors out there. Hella is making a 50mm projector at some point. They have some prelim. designs out there. I went with a bi-xenon e46. I didn't not use the bixenon feature, but they are slightly bigger then the reg. e46 projector.

 

How much did that cost you?

 

That looks killer! I want! Do you have pictures of the ones in the Halos?

 

I knew it!! I finally got to test them for real....

Funny story while I was trying to get the rotational alignment right. This happened earlier in the week.

There I was, working on it, trying to get it straight. I had it "pretty straight", but not perfect. I put on some of the glue/sealant, so all I had to to was get it straight and just leave it alone. Well, just as I had it almost perfect, damn wasps started attacking!

I had to retreat inside hoping it was "good enough". Turns out by the time they left, the glue dried and I wouldn't be able to move them anymore. The halogens I used to test it came out OK, but not perfect like I wanted. I won't know how straight they are for sure until I get the D2S bulbs in there.

I expect the beam pattern to slant slightly upwards on the right side. The left side looks perfect. It's not bad at all, but it bugs me. Oh well.

Vertical alignment is fine. Up/Down alignment is fine as well.


Damn wasps.

 

get a heat gun and heat up that glue/sealant a little bit until you can budge it.Align it and then slap some more glue/sealant on ther!

 

Some of the glue consisted of JB weld too.

They are only spot welded in certain places though.

I suppose I can drill it out, move it and seal it up again....shouldn't be that hard using a small enough bit...

I'll see how bad it is first. It shouldn't take more than an hour or so to correct it.

I'm guessing it'll look like this uncorrected from around 20ft. The dotted line is where it should be.

 

cool mod, keep it rolling and put out some finished pics when it's finished, hey you going writing a how to for this setup ????..........by the way get some wasp spray ...lol ........ j/k

 

Haha, I have some.

I think there's a nest nearby, but I haven't been able to find it. There were at least 3 or 4 wasps swarming around attacking the headlight.

 

Heres the pic, of the Halos with de C6HID, ill ask my friend for a better pic!

 

Thats pretty cool but do you have anything closer, I can barely make them out. Do you have a writeup on how you guys did that?

 

The problem with Halos is that there isn't much room with conventional projector lenes. However, C6 lenses are smaller than the norm, so it makes sense that they would fit.

 

Bump... This thread is pretty interesting.

 

All finished.

That pic I posted is EXACTLY how it came out. LOL

Stupid wasps. I'll post pics of the cutoff later on tonight after work.

I did the color mod, so there is lots of blue at the cutoff.

 

here are two more pics of my friends halos w/C6HID...

 

wow that is frigging sex!!! why would you have to do a mod to get more color? from ive seen the tsx's offer alot of color

last Q.....how much are the c6's?

 

Alright guys, after giving my first shot a go, I really think I can improve upon it. The beam isn't perfect and it bugs that crap out of me. Because of this, I am going to drill out the welds and try again. I'm thinking I can do this with removing the cover. Should be a few hour job. I'll start on this tomorrow.

 

I just finished mine as well. It came out really well, but i fought all day with a rotated projector too.

 

a C6 HID Kit its about $580dls! i have 1 incomplete and 1 brand new that i wont use, so if anyone is intrested, let me know!

 

Alright, I fixed the damned things. LOL

Uploading pics now...
