"Squid rings" and other headlight mods

Warfare

I was just wondering if anyone knows how these are done? They're pretty nice lookin', bit of vip style. Also seen a few multiple-projector conversions (up to 7 projectors in a new Crown!! Suprised

)

I figure if I'm gonna pull my headlights apart in future to remove the orange I might as well add some cool shit Razz

Quite a few people on Yahoo Japan do this. Usually it is a processing service where you send your lights to them, they fit them out & return them.

Have seen a few sets sold pre-converted for 147's. They just buy LED rings in the right size & glue them in around the actual lights.

I've also seen people retrofit Bi-Xenon Audi A6 Projectors to skylines - looks fuckin awesome. Greeny, I'd be keen for this if you're gonna do yours too.

i am glad to hear u are keen on this greeny,
when i send u my headlights ,u will be getting the halo rings (in blue)2 sizes,already have them,
to fit in while u are there,they are easy as hell,to fit in guys,
if u buy them for low beam/high beam,u will have to purchase seperatly,2 differant sizes
obviously,mine are 80 mill,and 110 mill,
i hope u dont mind,fitting these in for me while u are at it greeny??????????
all the best nick......... Very Happy

oooohhhh,just my 2 cents worth guys,these thing omit next to no heat,
but i have hid bulbs in,so i would NOT be glueing the rings in place,dbl sided tape would not cut it either,in my book,after a while ,the heat inside the headlight would "dry out" and make
glue/tape very brittle,to the point,i think they would break away from mounting point!!!!

Happy to do it.

I could even try and wire them to the parkers if you leave them in there.

thats the go ,greeny,because they are blue(mine are anyway)they are against the law,
what aint now days,so the supplyer of mine suggested,
to wire them up the the FOG LIGHTS,seperate switch on an aristo,
so when u turn your fogs on u get ,parkers/halo rings/side lights,
if u see the girls,sorry,boys in blue,u cankill the rings on the spot!!!!
all u have to do greeny,is i believe,use 2 small grub scews,s/steel or brass,(wont rust in there,)
and run the wires out through the globe fitment hole,or drill a small hole at the bottom,
of the ring,in the headlight,and pull them out through that hole,so u see no wires,
these things run a fair sized "converter" with them,
so once u have finished with the lights,i will wire them up to the fogs,
does that sound the go mate???????
cheers nick........... Cool
