Thanks!

Nice. I'd dump more REP on you if I could... I must 'spread it around' before I can though.

Thanks for your work on this topic buddy. Your knowledge on this subject is most appreciated!!!!

-RP-

 

Haha, no worries on the rep points, I didn't even know we had them till last week. Much less, I don't even know how to check them.

If anyone ever has questions or needs help, you know where to find me. I figure I owe it to the boards after all that everyone has given me.

Quintin,

I know I owe you the pictures of the custome interior too. I just detailed the inside and will take those pictures today and post them tomorrow or Saturday. I've been playing catch-up with the mod pictures and write-ups.

I have to say Duke

You have some awesome mods going on with that truck!

Keep up the great work!!!

 

You must love driving at night!

 

It's constantly a work in progress. AF1 and XCal2 go on next month!

And yes I LOVE driving at night. They say the US military owns the night in wars, well I own the night on the streets.

I think you need a few more pics . It looks good and seems to work great too

 

Well everyone kept asking for output pictures and talking about it, so I came through in intense picture taking fashion. They were a HUGE pain to upload and post though as it took forever.

Glad you like it, thanks for the compliment!

Duke

 

omg That is sweet I wish they sold those as a kit, man I want those!!

 

I'm trying to be patient... I must say though, after seeing those pics, I want a HID kit more and more and more and more...

Come on Saleen!

 

While you won't get close to the output from the Saleen HID setup like I have with these LS430 projectors, it'll definitely be an improvement over stock.

It's darn near impossible for reflector HID to beat the work of a projector, especially one that is engineered to leak light out of the bottom to create a ultra wide beam pattern.

However, I think reflector HID looks the best when a vehicle is coming at you, unless you like the glimpse of blue look when the pass below your cuttoff with projectors.

Either way, if it's not halogen it'll be a TON better then stock. (Getting tired...that's what I was trying to say all along.)

Night!

Duke -- you up to another build on those?

 

Possibly, it'd take some time though because I'd have to contract out the work of turing the LS430 projector into a bi-xeon projector. I can't do that as I don't have precise enough machines. The guy who can is a brilliant craftsman but costs a fortune. I believe he charged $350 to turn them into bi-xeon if I remember right as it's a lot of work.

If you're interested let me know and I can contact him and see if he's up for doing another set.

Duke

 

I'm interested... but, I do have a budget -- somewhere around what we're predicting the Saleen heads might go for... Probably won't work will it?

 

Nope, done cheaply it could be done for around $1,000. It all depends on how cheap you can find a set of LS430 projectors. They are directional so you need a right and a left.

Also, how cheap you could find an aftermarket set of headlamps to use in the contruction.

Search ebay for the following and then add $350 to pay the guy to do a bi-xeon modification to the projectors:

Ballasts
D2S bulbs
LS430 projectors (pair) with stock chrome shrouds
Aftermarket donor headlamps

I'm guessing that would be around $1,000 total.
