Solara Projectors! ~$700.00

by **CASTRO** » Sat May 24, 2008 9:25 pm

no problem guys, someone start a list and get some ideas and make it happen. I'm kinda busy these days so PM or contact me through AIM. I usually meet up with Josh and Greg on the S2ki.com meets so if you have any questions or special requests then feel free to ask.

Josh just recently got married today so he may be a little busy. As I've read, Greg is busy with his projects so Im more than willing to help out with the Solara/Camry crowd.

Just trying to help them out. Haha, I can't be the only boosted S at the meets

i'm starting to appreciate the quality of work more and more...however, I can't jump in just yet with the possibility of a GB lurking...this is my next mod, but I still want to see a decent deal work its way through...

I actually made my own. It's ghetto but it worked for a while until my ballast went out due to bad wirring ( I never did get the wirring right).

Here are some pics:

^^^BRo those look sick...what projectors are you using?

by **tweazy** » Wed May 28, 2008 12:36 pm

The projectors came from an Audi TT. It was a pain to make. I went through 3 headlight assembly to make these.

The $700 price tag for a retrofit sounds like a reasonable deal. I spent almost the same making mine.

Any pics of how the project is attached to the housing? Something like the second pic, but from behind?

by **tweazy** » Wed May 28, 2008 1:38 pm

I used long bolts along with washers and nuts to attach it with lots of j/b weld and silicone. Then I cut the bolts once I was satisfied with alignment and how secure it was mounted. That is the part that took me forever to do. Thanks god for headlight beam adjustability. Take this with a grain of salt. There are other better ways to attach it... like have someone do it for you.

Eh, too cheap to have someone do it for me.

So, far it has cost me 60-something odd dollars to pull together the main stuff I need (headlights and projectors). Having someone else do the work will make it skyrocket :lol:

just proof if case anyone questions if the projector maker exists, heres proof. haha, not exactly a shop pic, but its me and him at a recent s2k meet. We both have red s2000s (his has black rims)

oh we trust you Castro, how about working on lowering that price?

It may spark more interest. especially from me!

I'm very interested, but a little worried to hand over 700 bucks to someone I'll never meet and then wait 3/4 months...

by **CASTRO** » Wed Jun 18, 2008 12:53 am

^
all on you about how much you trust SG members. I personally know the makers and there are a bunch of guys here that would vouch for me if needed. PM me if you are really interested and I will try everything in my power to get the transaction done smoothly as if it were my own

"tweazy" Nice retro man.

I'm still stuck on figurin' out a way to mount my E46 bi-xenon projectors....
I tried "tweazy" way but I couldn't get the cutoff to line up straight....
Goin' to try to mount the projector on a piece of SS and then J/B weld it to the reflector housin'.

Those projectors looks freaking amazing.. want to buy but 700 is a little outta my price area right now but definitely in the future! Changes the entire look of the front of the car excellent pics.....
