They look really sweet at night...I need to get pics up of that....

 

I took stock lenses and cut the top amber piece off (major pain in the butt)....and the base smooth.

 

cut some acryllic to size via vertical band saw,

I had to counterbore a hole in them because the stock bulb sticks through the base about .1"....so i went .180 deep w/ a 1/2" endmill in .25" acryllic.

 

I then put reflective vinyl down over the base a and siliconed the acryllic on....They look factory in person...I'm very pleased

 

 

I've got probably 3 hrs of work in them.....i'm very picky, and it is hard to do.

nice! i like it! dont think it would work out too well on a red one though :sad:

 

 

cool idea! that really did turn out sweet!

Nice!!!! Have you ever checked the clear side markers for the 95+ Monte Carlo/Lumina's to see if they'd fit?

Posted

Or even the clear side markers from a Malibu? I know they are a direct fit for the Beretta guys.

HRM....I Do Know The BYP's Have The Same Markers As The B4U's.

 

do you know if they earlier B4U and the later ones share the same lens? (i think you already said no). I'd like to get/make some for the TGP

They Might Not Be The Same Size, But I Can See Them Being Made Similarly. Take One Off And Send Me Pics. I'll Let You Know. We Can Go From There.

Damn those look great Adam! Hope your car is as good or better than new when you get it! :thumb:

I think you're mistaken. These are not lime green, not falling apart, and look like they could be stock :willynilly:

 

 

i can see how you'd say that though, but I wouldn't consider it rice

here are some night pics

 

 

I LOVE the way the look...the pics suck...

 

they almost glow around the edges.....

 

I wasn't sure how they would look at night, but I was hoping they would glow like this and they did, i am happy.

 

I'll get better pics when it is nice out.....prolly a few months from now.

They glow around the edges like that due to the light being reflected and refracted through the lense itself.

 

Same concept with angel eye's/halo's in BMW's.

yeah, i know that...I just wasn't sure how it would turn out.....I like it.

is there a way to make our headlights do that ?

 

emit light? :thinking: and if you're asking about making them glow around the edge... They're headlights, if you look at them, you won't be able to see it anyways!

Posted

well then why they make the new bmw's do it ??? plus i was thinking only for when you got the parking lights on or DRL's

Posted

if you're talking about the halo's thats a completely different thing, they actually have rings of light in it. YOu can make them yourself with enough time and effort, but with our housings being so small, theres no way it would look good or be worth it.
