Project lighting: that doesn't suck.

Not gonna give you guys too many details yet as I'm still gathering parts, but I will shell out a teaser for now. I'll also say that I think GhostDakota and Urban Yan will be subscribing shortyly lol...

It involves a few of these (LS430 single xenon)


And a little of this


And hopefully in the end I'll have something like this...

im callin bs

can't wait to see if you can push that much light out

Interested....

Subscribing. I'd love to make my truck do that.

hmm quite interesting. id like to see what this entails.

Yea I don't the exact details of the car with the sun-headlights. But I'd guess they're bi-xenon ls430 projectors, probably a 50w ballast/bulb upgrade, and some really good positioning.

no no no, the car must be parked at the edge of a rock quarry that's all lit up :laugh3:

Snapped a few more pics tonight. It's amazing how ridiculously bright these things really are. I messed around with the cutoff shield to see how it affected the color right above the cutoff line. Before it was kind of "hot" right in the center. I put a washer in between the shield and lense, scooting it back about a 16th of an inch. Seemed to put a nice blue hue on it and cool down the hot spot.

Here you can really see the blue in the cutoff


They throw the light extremely even on the ground in front. no washing out or hot spots.


And here's the infamous wall shot. About 50ft+ back, no shrouds of any sort so there's glare on the ground and in the sky out the yinyang.


And here are my stock headlights. Same location and exposure as the above wall shot. No wiring upgrades, stock 200mm wagner sealed housing bulbs. Craptastic.


Stay tuned...


Edit: Forgot to mention, all these pictures only include one projector. 2 projectors = twice the light
