Projectors
So…I should be getting this on Wednesday (FINALLY ). Here are some of the progress pics.
I will be updating this thread when I get output pictures.
They are:
97-99 EBay Euroclear Headlights (97-99 and plastic)
Acura TL Bi-Xenon Projectors
ZKW Replica Clear Lenses
E46 Semi-Circle Shrouds
Custom 9004 --> Bi-Xenon Harness
DDM Tuning 6000k Digital D2S HID Kit
The headlights were made by kid on Maxima.org. The harness was made by another guy on Maxima.org.
I will probably be ditching the 6000k bulbs and keeping them as spares after picking up a set of Phillips 85122 (not 85122+) D2S bulbs from EBay. Those are rated at 4300k and then color shift to a nice 5000k after about 100 hours. The 85122+'s are 4100k and don’t color shift.

LED Speedometer:
So since I’m not good with soldering, etc. I sent me speedometer down to a kid in FL to get custom LED’ed. I used to have LED bulbs in my speedometer (5 #74 blue LED bulbs) and this is what the result was:
As you can see…it turned out okay, however, the needles were dim at night. I wanted something where I could see the needles, etc.
I went with the following (progress pics - he’s since fixed some of the hot spots or lack there of like the main needle for the speed):
There is probably a total of 20 LED’s back there as opposed to having just 5 before. I really like how it turned out.
LED Interior:
I am having yet another guy on Maxima.org retrofit the rest of my cars interior lights with blue LED’s. Right now he is working on my climate control unit. The four window switches and hazard, interior light dimmer, and rear defroster have already been done (defroster lights blue but has a red LED that turns on when the defroster is on).
These are pics of my old setup (that I sold when I thought I was selling the car). I will update the pics once I get everything installed and done.
Other lighting work (from my other thread):
So…I recently picked up a couple of these:
Install was easy…just had to get the mounting right. Well, it was finally dark out so I took some pics of the output. Here they are:
Yes, I know three of the LED’s in the trunk are out. I shorted out one of the segments when trying to install cause it touched the trunk metal (forgot to put electric tape between the trunk metal and the LED strip lol).
The LED reverse lights are from V-LEDs (search for vleds on ebay).
I’m going to have to recenter the license plate ones a bit more to the left. The dots on the plate are a reflection. The LED’s themselves are not visible unless you’re on the ground looking up at them.
