Good looking lights, how much did it all cost?

 

[Leonard1818]

No, not as long as they are below the hood line. Otherwise fog lights would be illegal as well. Most state laws do say that you cannot have forward facing white lights above the hood line.

Ah I see.

OK, here are the specs:

2009 Honda Civic EX-L Sedan TSX FX35 E46 Quad Setup

• Low Beam - Acura TSX (single xenon) projectors
• Low/High Beam - Infiniti FX35 projectors (bi-xenon)
• Clear Lens Conversion (color mod)
• Quad E46 Revised Shrouds
• OEM 2008 Black Housing
• Low & High Beam Reflectors (painted low gloss black)
• Amber Reflectors Removed

Also, I should mention that the reason it took 3 1/2 weeks was due to a backorder on the ballasts.

So if I can ask, how did you wire this bad boy up so that it turns on BOTH lows when the lows are on and flips the shield down for the highs?

I used the beautiful, professional wiring harness, complete with wire looms, that Rich made up for me. Basically, one of your 9006 (low beam) connectors feeds a relay to activate it when you turn on your headlights. The relay then feeds power to each of the four ballasts. The ballasts each feed an HID light. Each of your 9005 (high beam) connectors feeds power to their respective bi-xenon unit to raise the internal shield when you engage your high-beam switch. It's all plug-n-play. Two battery connections and snap all the connectors together.

man, that's badass. If I had it to do over again, I'd do the same.... any cutoff pics? :thumb:

I'll take a shot tonight and post it. It looks good! :thumb:

I'm pumped to see it. If we got an accord I was going to get a quad but now we're leaning toward CR-V so it'll probably end up being a bi-xenon :thumb:

 

[trickyazn]

we should make a quad setup crew sticker.

 

[Vege-Taco]

Wow, that looks awesome! Is your wife going to upgrade her lights too?

Yeah, I made the mistake of showing the comparison shots of the light output to my wife and now she want me to do the same with her car. :SHOCKED:

 

[truflip]

hawt! nice car!

 

[Strate L O S S]

an hid wiring kit only utilizes one of the stock 9006 harness's. so simply purchasing two wiring kits and plugging 1 feed to each of the stock headlight harness's gives you the ability of running quad ballasts on 1 low-beam feed. with no splicing wires of anysort

for the hi-beam solenoid i learned today that there are factory acrua tl wiring kits available on ebay for $15 to connect the factory hi-beam harness to the bi-xenon solenoid.(wish i would have known this before i spliced into my wiring)

anyhow just thought id pass this information on.


to the OP. great looking headlights and props for shelling out that kind of $ on your lights

 

[Vege-Taco]

Here's the pattern on a wall about 20 feet away.

 

[Strate L O S S]

nice, seems like it a lil closer then 20ft tho. id love to see some shots of the car 50ft back, and you being even further away.

 

[Leonard1818]

that cutoff is SICK. the whole thing is amazing!

quad crew ftl

sextet crew ftw :spinning:


They look really nice OP.

 

[remarqable23]

In for price!

 

[Vege-Taco]

Not cheap, but you get what you pay for. In my case it was well worth the cost. $MDCCLXXI

Hah! You thought I'd make it easy on you? opcorn:

[GreyK20z]

dude you fail @ life if you paid over 1k for a lighting setup.. wow...

I admit I do think it's kind of cool but uhhh, it'll be a god damn CHILLY FROSTY WONDERFUL PEACHY day in hell before I spend that kind of money on my head lights..
