i think my thread posts say that nearly verbatim.

Depo lenses for the 03 halogen fit all the years and models of OEM, yes.
they can be had for about 179 a pair shipped, theres a lot of light guts left over, but little is useful. Keep the lenses, Throw the rest away. cover them in saran wrap while youre movng them around. keeps scratches and dust off them.

 

I know what I'm doing over the winter!! Thanks for the write up.

Are you telling me I can buy depo headlights and use the lens?

 

lol^

no!..
im telling you that you can buy depo headlights and use the lens. lol
no one listens

 

hey bmccann im curious to see how these light up you got any pics?

 

The turn signal.portion? Earlier in.the thread..
The halos?
Earlier in the thread.
Plus YouTube videos posted .... earlier in.the thread ha

 

yeah the turn signals, you only showed one pic but it was from a low front angle. or did i miss a video?

 

Nope just the one pic of the turn signal.

 

oh ok im about to re-do my headlights and i was wondering on that vinyl mod. i ordered the mishomoto halos i wonder how much brighter they are compared to the ones i have from retrosolutions.

 

They're fairly bright. I have three inside tho
.plus an aac one outside.

 

yeah i saw its bright as fug.well im gonna give it a shot next week. btw nice work on your rides i cant wait till either's update.

 

I need help removing this last connector. I tried sliding it out but no luck, and it has no tabs to push down on like the rest. I read somewhere that you jus suppose to walk this one out and it's the hardest. How'd you guys get this one off?

 

If you're trying to remove it off the housing.. put a large flat blade screw driver under the plugs @ss carefully
..on. the more exposed side and pry up. It will pop off.

 

I gotta ask; what are the halos wired as? Standard low beam headlight? "Parking" lights? Remote toggle switch?

 

I can't recall on the external aac one...but internal triple halos are wired inside the headlight to the parking light wires... saves me from more external wiring.

 

I can't seem to find the sizing for the external halo anywhere.
What size did you use?

 

Its the aac oracle kit.. unsure of exact sizing..

 

Damn okay.
I wanted to try the external halo with the smd led's from diode dynamics.
They didn't have a good guess for me either.. =/

Anyone else have any idea?

 

re read thru the thread.. i reccomend Andrew at therretrofitsource.com very highly, and also Cesar at Lightwerkz.net.

Both frequently have those headlights apart and can easily measure for you.
Aside from that, if youre a DIY guy and are ok w having a bit of down time anyways ( rush job is not reccomended).. then you can measure them yourself when the light its open too. using pinstripe material to mask the light surface of the SMD ring makes it easy to use snips to cut in between each light chip, you CERTAINLY want to color match them silver to the shroud if they will be exposed externally.

Id say "call AAC and ask them".. but their customer service is deplorable.. its a call center and they will NOT offer the sizes easily as they charge a 500% mark up on thier stuff and giving you DIY info defeats thier purpose

you can certainly use the same mounting tactic i did tho.. id not just use the 3m tape.. its going to get hot and old fast.

 

saving this for later

 

Thanks for the advice.
I have all winter to tinker so hopefully it'll work out.
I'll give them a shout and hopefully they can give me an answer.
I am planning on doing everything gloss black. I've seen it with the smd before and it seems to blend in.
Thanks again for the responses!
