>True true, so will you still be able to use the original alignment setup on the stock housing once your done??


Yes. One other thing is that the peons can adjust horizontally as well as vertically meaning it's easy to direct and age the lamps after fitting. I'm not sure if that can be done with the 500

lol sweet how much longer till we get to see the finished product Mann??


Not till a while
Today I had a bit of time and replicated the other side and bolted it together.

The next stage is the messy and long part.
Sanding the hybrid housing down and bonding it together.
Then spraying and neatening up the chrome inserts and the housing so it's presentable.

Dang. This is getting REALLY REALLY interesting now. Read the first page and was like wtf was this guy thinking. Doing all that body work. Skipped to the last page(hoping to see the finished product), found out you were going to hybrid the two light housing instead. That made me REALLY interested in this. Lol. Now I'm thinking This guy is a ****ing genius! Can't wait to see the outcome!

I'm glad that you do and your work shows for we 6gc owners are limited to performance parts since no one really knows about the history of the 6g CELICA(s) in the market. i can answer your question. You don't have time to do it for yourself because it is SILLY giving yourself a bill to paid for the work done. biggrin.gif

I changed my mind about that. Keeping it and bought my self some crystal lenses. Where the indicator should be at the top of theNeon cluster is, I'm putting 3 501 bulbs in to work in conjunction with the halo's as park lights.

Had a bit of time today to do a bit more.
First using thin masking tape, bridge the gaps. Reason why I'm using thin tape is because it's absorbent to resin and this is a great way to cheat.

Then trim off all the excess and using small pieces of fibreglass, start apply by brushing on the resin to the lamps, then on the fibreglass shess and then dab them in place.


So these are left on the drying rack and next time I'll just sand them down and dismantle it before spraying the housing black.

Thanks bud. So when would you like for me to do yours then? biggrin.gif

Anyway regarding my head light, I never got round to posting pictures.
So here it is:
This is all the pieces which forms the lamp layed out.

Here are the bulbs fixed in which retains the full adjusting rods meaning I can angle them when on the car

Access to bulbs and wires are easy

Halo's with the reflective backing

Halo wires are sealed using these bungs making it water tight

I heated the old glue and taped the clear covers in till it set.

Then for extra insulation I used PU glue all the way round making it air tight

The same glue was also used around the lense cover so I can glue the rubbers on

Tape and set in place

Finished




Now I just need to get hold of the wiring looms for the 4 lamps and wire in the plugs to this

I had a chance to test out the lamps and wired in the Halo's.



Its not all the way in. Theres a bit of metal on the slam panel obstructing the backing which I need to cut away.
I also need to get some Male HB3 and HB4 plugs which I've no idea where to get hold of. I bought females off ebay by mistake.

Our cars already have the 9005 and 9006 though, unless your car came with projectors. Even then you'd still have the 9005 for the highs.

Anyway I think part of the problem is sellers on eBay have their nomenclature backwards. Found this that has both connectors and both the 9005 and 9006: http://www.ebay.com/itm/9006-9005-Male-Wir...ff7&vxp=mtr Two of them and you'll be good to go.

The problem is the lamps I made has no plugs hence why I need hb3 & hb4 plugs so I can just plug it to my car and not cut the loom.

He meant use the female part of the adapters and splice them in place of the hb3/hb4 plugs on the lights so they plug straight in to our 9005/9006 plugs.

Thats my original plan but I dont have any female parts of the HB3/HB4 as it's on the actual bulb it self.
Ive been looking for them online but can't find any apart from the ones Box showed in the link but its kind of a waste as I only need 1 end.

You see I bought these by mistake
http://www.ebay.com/itm/9006-HB4-9005-HB3-...5e9&vxp=mtr

but it's the opposite plug I needed which people dont sell on their own.

You're going to ditch the hb3/hb4 style plug altogether. Get the 9005/9006 connectors here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/9006-9005-Male-Wir...ff7&vxp=mtr and cut the unneeded end off and crimp these on: http://www.ebay.com/itm/350674532564 which will connect directly to the bulb... Just remember to run the wires through the rubber cap first.

These are the ones I bought for my car;

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2-PCS-Wiring-Ha...b8ac&_uhb=1

I just cut them in half and used one side of them and connected the other side to the pigtails of my projectors..... wasteful yes, but cheaper than anything else that I could find! (Or more to the point, I couldn't find anywhere else) tongue.gif
