NA headlight conversion
 

Just begin a headlight conversion.

want to share with you :)

I'm using h4 led bulb with 1800 lumens low and 3800 lumens high.

Now i have a lot of room for the intake.

Hope you like

I'm not following.... appears to be a turn signal to headlight conversion piece, but then the final pic is a normal round light. Hold my hand and 'show me the light'. ;)

The last pic is before i remove the headlight. It's just to show the LED bulb Power. I disconnect the right bulb and connect the led. You can see the LED vs Stock halogen bulb.

and yes my headlight is now in my turn signal and the led bulb don't realy come hot so they don't melt my plastic housing.

Interesting concept, how about the picture of the finished product, along with a night shot of how much light it throws on the street in front of the car.

Is the turns signal assembly a custom piece so you can get the right focus and throw off the LED bulb?

I have to finish to buff my car before i reinstall my light. I only open the hole of the turn signal and put the led in. You have to install the led that way to have a great light.

I test the housing on the car in my paint shop but not take picture.

For the other turn signal, there a mark on the clear turn signal to add a other light bulb. just make hole using a dremel.

I can make some outside picture when the snow was gone... But from the test i made in my shop it's turn out great.

I'm skeptical that that oem signal reflector is going to control the light path to give a good on road pattern and and not blind oncoming traffic, but definitely in for the results. Has me thinking a neat way to have aux lighting for these dark country roads...

From my test it's work, my led bulb have 2 led, the low beam 1800lumens only throw on the back of the housing, and is ok to not blind oncoming traffic. the High beam will do. (It's light front and back) I have to play with the housing like any headlight to get the right angle.

But the result is perfect for my weekend car.

subscribed! I like where this is going!

So, SebZ had a chance to get some drive time with the new lights? I sure like the concept.

Sorry.. There 4 feet of Snow here ��

Have to wait... But i Will take some Picture when i finish my Install.

For now i tune my diesel engine. New turbo setup.

Picture of the conversion done. Also you can see the DRL in the bumber side vent.

OK I'm on board with you and found a set of crystal clear turn signal lenses. What bulbs did you use?

The best i found, bang for the buck.

don't forget to put low beam facing back.

Very nice job SebZ... I love the hood too. Will you be offering it with the stock headlight doors ala Simpson Designs?

I just make a mold for the top layer, you have to cut the glue on your stock Hood and then paste the new one over your frame.

I build this Hood because you can fit a ford intake Under the cowl. For the headlight you can cut the Hood (you still see the headlight mark on the part). But just for the space you save, your better with the led conversion.

Your conversion is a beautiful set up, and I am going to do it to my 92. I have no place to install stock headlights, and probably have a hood.

Yes i can make you one, still have the mold in my shop.

It is a beautiful piece. I'd love to buy one. How much do you want for it, and where do you live? Indy here. If you're not close, shipping would be higher than the hood. DJ
