As long as there is some play to fine tune it, that sounds good.
I definitely wasn't trying to knock the lights/effort/quality.

 

I agree. Offer them in carbon fiber!

 

are these ready FOR PURCHASE, or not...

 

Thanks again for your time and use of your car Matt. Let me know how close I am with my adjustment guess' below.
I'm really pleased and encouraged with the progress and can't wait to get them in my hands. Again, thanks!

Thanks BTM! I'm pretty anxious to get them in hand...
Yes, to answer your question, the stop plates are individually adjustable. Tho, I'm not so sure that's the "derp" issue...



I agree with TNX ZORA, some angles give the appearance of the headlights being un-even, however in this case I think the entire assembly on the driver-side is adjusted too high.
The amount of reveal at the lower portion of the shroud appears to be too much.

I agree with Matt and just judging by pictures, paticularly the one above I am inclined to think the more likely explanation is that the fabricator needed to move the adjustment around a bit to make the driver-side shroud fit.
Also it was pointed out to me off-forum that the individual projector adjustments look to have been changed as well, again especially the projectors on the driver-side, possibly because the projector openings need some refining...?

These are the prototypes and I'll be making the refinements we discuss here and then sending them back for molds.

The plan continues to be to make them in both clear finish carbon fiber and dura-fiber for those who wish to paint them.

The clearances at the front of each projector should allow for the addition of halo's, at least with the hi beams.

I'll let you all know when I get them in my hands and can provide more answers...

thanks, didnt se ethta, but just curious, if you dont have an et on readiness, why are we on a thread for them? I would kinda like to just see them done,and buy 'em.

good luck though.

 

Hey guys... UPDATE (sort of)

The passenger side light IS lower than the driver side. I pulled them apart last night to reinstall the HIDs (had the halogens in) and found out the lift pivot pin was missing completely so while the lifter arm is actually working without it, it's not setup correctly and the passenger side is actually sitting slightly lower because of it.

I'm going to GM to pick up another pin and retainer clip tomorrow which will lift the passenger side up to height it's supposed to be at.

Mike, it's no problem at all. I'm glad this is getting done and I'm really looking forward to having a set installed.

 

I've been watching this thread for a while too. I'll take a set and some tinted halo taillights as well when these are ready. Thanks

 

oh, and if these are to be done wihin this month, whats the projected PRICE to see if we are intersted or need to move on?

 

We don't have any info on prices or an ETA yet. All of that will be posted once we have it.

 

If you have the carbon shrouds, I'm in for a set of these when the GP comes back. My first mod over $50.00

 

Subscribed!

 

Good work, can't wait to get these!

 

more or less ? a month or a year? we cant just wait with no knowledge....

 

Not sure if you've been following or not but we had a group purchase almost a year ago for shroudless sets. I believe it was 20. Before that we released a few beta sets.

We will have a new group purchase for the headlights here in a few months. Shrouds I just can't give an ETA on. We hope they will be ready for this GP and that's what we're shooting for. I don't like to say yes or give a time on them until I know 100%.

 

Sounds like your getting close JW! Sounds like maybe my HALOs are going to be a problem! Wrong forum I know but I got the wheels I purchased from you installed with some Pilot Super Sports and they look good, some carbon fibre parts (front spoiler and those shrouds) will make her look just a little bad!

Life is good, spring please come soon!

 

GOT IT... no I didnt see the group deal. I would definatley want the shrouds thou, as I do not know how to adapt.

NIzcE>....

 

Matt, glad to hear it was a simple issue.
Good idea installing the halogens, too!
FYI; some here have replaced that pin with a bolt and ny-lock nut. Sizes escape me right now but I think jprich had a thread on that you can search up...
Were there any re-adjustments you had to make to the projectors?

 

Yeah, a bolt would be so much better. That pin and retainer combo is pretty dumb.

I didn't have to make any adjustments to the projectors. Seems these projectors work really well with any light source as far as where it puts the light. The bulb shapes are totally different, but for whatever reason that doesn't seem to matter with these projectors. After putting the HIDs in, the light was exactly where I'd want it.

 

Yup, thats what I did after one pin lost its friction ring and fell out. It is odd that the light still opened and closed without the pivot pin, but by the design of the base plate I can see where just the weight of the assembly keeps the pivot arm in the slot.
I really had no idea the pin had fallen out, when I saw the one side off a bit I was adjusting, driving it a while and readjusting until I took the whole assembly out and saw the pin was gone Had nothing to do with any of the parts added to do the mod, this whole thing just adds a few parts and is totally reversable by just removing them to get back to stock.

Yes it is isnt it. No idea why GM thought that was a good way to design it.

Regarding the bolts, I seem to remember that a 1/4 inch dowel fits right through nicely, thats what I had to use before I got the bolt. Just take the the other pin (or a hole gauge) and it should be pretty easy to find a bolt of the correct length and you can even get them with a smooth shaft and threaded just on the last inch or so. Add the Ny-lock nut and you're good to go
