notice the little bit of glare above the cut-off...
hopefully the blacked out projector housing will get rid of this

 

this is a really sweet mod, too bad i know myself and i suck at detailed work like this

 

Hey guys,

Can someone help me with my cutoff/light output? It looks to be way off compared to other pics here. I don't even see the purple line most people have (I have the STI Lens), and there is barely any output below or above (the right side looks have a dark spot as well). See picture:

 

8 months after the mod still looks fresh

 

FYI, I just got done taking apart my headlights with a heatgun. I'm by no means an expert with one, but I was surprised how easy it was. Just using common sense, I was able to crack the seal in about 10 minutes each, with no gloves, and didn't have to remove any of the harnesses, or is that harness-i

 

Looks to me like your bulbs are not seated properly... I had that problem with one of my headlights when I first did them. It's easy to fix and I don't think you have to take the headlights off the car to do it (although it might be easier with them off the car) Make sure the lights are cool, open up the grey access panel and reseat the bulbs.

Good luck!

kno: Car looks great!

 

yep thats how i do it. ive done about 15+ lights like that make sure you seal them up good to avoid water damage.



thanks gr8scott

Thanks for the nice DIY. I added the STi-R clear leans, demon eye mod, and painted flat black.





Also, i accidentally left a chrome piece soaked in water, and the next day the chrome film cracked and wiped right off.... this might save alot of time for those who are gonna sand and paint the housing,

 

Thank you for the DIY. Did everything yesterday and today. Mounted back up and looking clean. Painted the housings flat black. No demon eyes just halos.

Dont mind the purple light. Thats actually a blue PIAA light. camera settings are off.
