Custom projector head lights for a Mini?

[turbovanman²]

I am running HID's in my van, it has the composite lights. They work great but due to the huge area, they really reflect the light back out, thus I have to aim them low so I don't blind anyone. They still work better than what I had BUT they could be better. I need a projector type headlight made, any idea's on where to get some, who could make some etc?

You just want them for the style, LOL...

Seriously tho, there are several projector lights out there, just have to search.

maybe just some good driving lights?

Don't want driving lights. :eyebrows:

I just want to use the HID's to there potential. There absolutely amazing, I put them in my 98 Jimmy and again, night and day differnence. Every car should have these things. They work nicely in the Jimmy as the headlight is very small so I can keep the factory aim. Believe it or not, they work better in the rain, :nod:

They suck when you are in oncoming traffic though.

All depends on if there aimed correctly. I don't get flashed now that I aimed them lower.

I got them off Ebay. I bought a bunch and selling them. She gave me a good deal but there regularly around $150-$180 US plus shipping. I have had them on for about a month or so and so far, so good. If I did it again, I would probably get the 4300K for the vans, a bit dimmer so to speak.

I thought someone awhile ago had made lights for there minivan my modifing ford superduty lights any one remeber them?

[turbovanman²]

I think your right, will have to try and dig it up. I thought I remembered that but wasn't sure.

Well, after searching TD and the web for hours, I finally figured it out, here they are. I hope he gets back to me-

[turbovanman²]

Well, looked on Ebay, there around $100 plus $40-50 shipping, rip off for shipping, grrrrrrr. I checked my local supplier and they wanted $541-:eek: :wow1:

I just learned today that APC kind of went under.

late to the party....

you could just take out the lights, make flat panels and use Bi-Xenon's... i hear alot of folks like Benz E-class ones (or something like that)

That usually means they'll be at princess auto in a couple months then.:D

I am not going to bother for now, I learned that the projector lights use a different bulb than stock and that if you go HID, you need to get the shorter bulbs otherwise you'll burn thru the light so screw it, :eyebrows: :p

[Aries_Turbo]

^^^ I was actually talking about using the entire projector and its correct housing and just making a flat panel instead of the stock light to mount the projector in. :)

I need some light pretty bad on the front of my van! I don't care if they are projectors, or clear lenses (prefered) or stock clean replacements. Got any ideas? Simon, did you figure anything out?

I didn't like the look of the yellow lenses..so I fixed them...and now I have damn near no light at night (OVC shut up!) Haha! They look better in the day though!

Its called HID bulbs, lol!

I have them and there awesome, the only problem is there BRIGHT. You need to aim them down and tape off the top inch.

[Reeves]

I probably wouldn't have to worry about the brightness since my headlights are BLACKED OUT! lol

Know of any cheap replacement headlamp assemblies to get the new clean clear look (non-blacked out?)

PM me a Reeves price on a set of HID's. Otherwise, I start telling stories!
:lol:
