Okay guys, i was thinking how does this cutoff looks like. See below:


I want to retro this a6 projector in my tC and was having second thoughts because of the cutoff.
NEVERTHELESS, i know i can make a custom shield/plate that will change the lighting output! SO

Please vote and give me some feed back

Thanks

i think its 'OK' at best...it looks blurry. are they Valeo or Hella? stock or modded? you can achieve wonders with some aluminum flashing or a coke can.

raWr215

stock a6 projectors and YES i am going to use coke cans ^__^

i might use a high heat reflective paint to see if i can get a tint of color to show (like blue)

i guess no one cares to vote for jimbo :T

gonna become greedy and do a tech post raWr!!!1!1!1!1!one!!1

that's not exactly the crisp clear cutoff that i've seen on retro sites like hidplanet.... nevertheless, with some "modifications" it should be alright :D

yeah this is the cutoff from the OEM projector, going to mod it as soon is i find my dremel!!

maximus96

you can cut a coke can with scissors, actually a kitchen shear works best. dremel is overkill.

A6 I beleive is a hella projector. The fuzziness of the cuttoff is due to the fresneled lense of the DOT version. In order to sharpen you would need to swap it with a clear lense. My advice, sell those on ebay and get a pair of A6 ECE, its actually a pretty good projector with a clear lense and lots of color. Please don't paint it. A clear lense and a washer mod should give you al the color you need.

By the way it will be difficult to generate interest on this subject on this forum. Not exactly HID nerds over here. Oh and congrats and good luck on the retro.

do i wanna know how you got your car inside your living room???

raWr215

yup thanx,

yes these are DOT projectors, with the ripple like lense

I think i will working with these for a bit, just for testings. If all goes well, i will just use them

i got my kit for 270. (ballast, bulbs projectors) all i need is the wiring harness which my older brother can make.

and yeah i know they are not HID fan here, but hopefully i can enlighten them with my projects ^^
maybe i should make my tech article geared toward HID nooblets so they can learn more about them ^__^

do? dood? lol

i drove it into my room HAHA

270$ is a great deal. My original setup was bulbs ballast and e55 bixenon projectors for $225. The e55s ended up being RHD, but I found a foreign buyer to give me 140$ for them. I kept buying and selling 'till I came across some Valeo ece with purple coated lense. Looks cool when lights are off and doesn't effect output or color in anyway. I am now rocking those with DOT shields, best color I've seen.

lucky u hehe, im basically buying and selling as well, i already posted this at HIDplanet. Somoene want to buy this whole kit (auto levelers and bezels included) for 350 shipped, i'll earn 50 bucks after shipping, but o wellz i benefited:
50 dollars
learn how to use my CPU to power my HID kits
finding resources on scionlife who done HIDretros ^^

okay so here's MY cutoff (as stated before the picture above was not mines)




and here is what im going to do....

i took my projector apart and im going to make a copy using a soda can of the reflective shield and modify that new shield



results will be posted as soon as i am done

tehloxely

What do you mean when you say "cutoff"? I'm kinda new to this.

jct

i liked my idea better should of drove your car into your living room carefuly

raWr215

haha okay,k so refer to my first picture, you see where the light pattern? it goe sbright then all the suddent goes black. Portion where lights slowly gets cutoff(thus called cutoff) is the cutoff line ^__^

with out that shield... it'll look like this


still in the projector, no shield. looks kinda like demon eyes O_o
