New Retrofitted Headlights!!!

[stealthy1ss]

These lights were built by a friend of mine for his car but due to financial issues he needed to sell them. They are headlights that have been retrofitted from an Astra in the UK. He told me that he has about 400 hours in making these and they are plug and play.

Looks like a pissed of robot from a sci fi movie, I like em.

In some pictures they look really good and in others they don't, so it must be an angle thing. But that's a lot of hours put into them, so I am sure they are quality and look good on the road. How are they at night?

The pic was taken in Indiana at a Ethonal Plant and the more scenic ones are right next to TireRack. If you want to see them in person Nick just give me a call.

They wont fit, totally different size and shape.

They look really good at night even though the HID's are only 4300K from my 8000k that I had in my stock headlights. I totally agree with you about the looks from different angles. If you look straight at them from the front they look really cool especially when you see them in your rearview mirror.

I like em!

[Yooformula]

I like em. They look much better than stock!

[Boost21]

looks cool, Ive been doing retros for the grand am community for a little over 2 years now with a few side projects. Believe me that the labor time adds up REALLY quickly.

Well getting lights for a car in the UK is a terrible idea.

The beam pattern would be totally off. Since it would be for a right hand drive car. From everything I've learned in the GTO world and them doing Monaro conversions, unless your headlights were for LHD originally your beam patten is going to be totally wrong.

It's incredibly easy to flip the shields inside the projector. It's one screw that holds it in place, usually.

400 hours?
The needle just broke off my BS meter.

I have some epoxy if you want to fix it for the next thread :rolf:thumbsup

All I know is that dudes are buying expensive headlights for RHD monaros, and swapping the LHD guts into them as the lenses are different for vxr conversions.

Not BS. He had to rebuild them because the first time he put them together they weren't lined up correctly.

As for the LHD to RHD problem the lights look fine at night and it has a decent cut off. Tonight I will get pics of the cut off if it is nice out.

[Junky Giorgio]

nice, they look very similar to the new Lexus LS460 headlights

[pOrk]

He must have made the glue by hand if it took 400 hours. Either way, they look great and he did a damn fine job.
