Agreed, that's a clean truck. Steve (NCSU) has projectors with painted headlights. Might at least give you an idea?


I'll just link them so as not to clutter up your thread:

I've seen his. Looks great. He gave me the idea to do this. The painted reflector isn't for me though.

I finished all the plasma cutting today. wasn't that bad untill I noticed that the rad support is mag. and not alum. That was fun. But they fit great. Now I can really move ahead.

 

Nice, i see the floor is wet did that magnesium start burning on you?

 

Nice! 6000k I assume?

 

Awesome, thanks for doing this the right way!

 

No, luckly the plasma didn't set the mag on fire. But we didn't know it was mag untill we started on the other side. We were looking up tsb's and found one on the radiator support for mag. Opps. Got very lucky.

Yes, those are supposed to be 6000k, But I think they are closer to 5k. Thats what I get for using ddm.

 

Looks great. I work in a bodyshop and we burned a little piece of a ford core support and it burned bright and fast. You got very lucky it didnt burn up. I dont think water would stop it honestly. The little quarter size piece almost hurt your eyes to look at it.

 

Actually, you NEVER want to put water on a Mag burn. The Mag burns hot enough to seperate the hydrogen and o2 and burns even harder. If I did have a burn and hit it with the water extinguisher, I prolly would have lost not only my truck but the shop aswell.

I wanted to find a way to set this up the best I could. So I ended up making this little fixture. Its adjustible so I can set the reflector as flat, then with the aspherical lense removed, I can set the projector housing parelle to the reflector.Then align the rotation it again with the laser, and I should be pretty damn good.

I also finished moding the cut-off plate.

 

Looking good!
If your headlights are still open can you measure the signal light bowl preferably in MM?
A member here needs to know the size to fit in a halo.

 

No problem, I'll post that up tonight.

 

Someone didn't remember their high school chemistry lesson on burning magnesium haha.

Take a look at this for further proof. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kVh4NQ7geg

 

Finnished my mounting this morning. Figured I should check the angular alignment on a wall before I start loctiting things together.......
The high beams alone make all this worth it!

Also, I jsut found out that all the local butyl rubber is white.. Damnit...I can't wait any longer and dont want to use silicon. So I guess if the white bothers me, I can take it apart and put black in later.......

 

Awesome! Nice cutoff too

 

Looks great! Good job on the install!

 

Now I have one assembly finished with the shroud mounted. If funny how many Military saying can work in non-military things. My fav is "Two is one, One is None". I didn't trust the sealant alone to keep my shroud in place, so now it has sealant and a mechanical attachment. Lets see those come loose!
