Anyone used these in a retro project? - Page 6 - SRT Forums

still working on them, i keep getting deeper and deeper becuase i want them to be perfect, i shaved and filled the bulb reflector hole with Pc 7 epoxy AWSOME Stuff, then I ended up sanding and said screw it, and started sanding off the fluting of the whole reflector bucket to smooth it out, its should look pretty cool.

hey crimsonghost how hard would you say these are for a first time retro fit, because i want to try out a retro fit but have no experience with it at all.

as easy as taking the headlight covers off and changing a bulb....

by the pic above the lens isn't really a 2.5" lens but do you think that there could possibly be a way to change the lens to get a finer and more color cutoff? Just wondering. I am all new to the retro world. I have been using the stupid modern projectors which has been nothing but trouble from the get go now they are breaking even more.

thanks also would it be able to add leds with this and what are you doing with the blinker.

heres a quick shot of the reflectors, with shaved facets and bulb shield holes, i got them both complete and painted.

DAMN! That's some serious work there.

aww sheet · 08-31-2009, 08:57 AM

jesus thats some serious sanding!!!!!

wiggyx · 08-31-2009, 09:01 AM

What color did you paint them? Black?

Crimsonghost · 08-31-2009, 11:51 AM

ya flat black, they are the black housing lights so the only chrome is the blinker reflector and the projectors themselves.

The facets in the reflectors wern't too bad to "erase" with a dremel and a 280 scotch wheel. its just really hard to tell if its 100% smooth becuase of the light color of the plastic, I might resand them, becuase they are just a tiny bit wavy and i want them perfect...

Neat, but so far all I can find is 6000K color temp. I hate running anything over 4300K.
