So 10 years ago I designed a low profile popup headlight kit using the Hella 90mm housings. Didn't have the all tools to produce them. Now I do. But times have changed and bi-xenon housings are readily available. Plus, 1 will do the job of 2 and fit A LOT neater.
Package would include a pair of FX-R bi-xenon projectors, custom powder-coated headlight structures, formed lexan shrouds, and a few other pieces to make it a quality product. Raised headlight height will be about 1/2 stock. (Sleepy eyes for you s13 owners lol) Price will be about $350-400. You will still need D2S bulbs and ballasts. New kits run about $70 for DDM, $160 for Morimoto, and $250 for Philips & Mitsu OEM stuff. Also been working on a design for the turn signal location. Hi Felix (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) Using the Mini projectors, LED panels for the park/turn lights, Lexan cover, housing. Hoping to get the D2S version to fit so it can use the Awesome and Almost as Awesome bulb/ballast setups. Still labor intensive enough to put the price in the $350-400 range. LASTLY Also brainstormed a LED replacement for the side marker. Less wart, more pimple lol. Looking to be about $100/pr if the idea pans out. |

Very interested. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)
By half Height, do you mean to modify the Headlight so it only opens half height? The way the headlight motors and relays are designed, they would have to fully cycle to open so how would you keep the motor from doing this? While working on mine I once blew a fuse because the motor could not fully cycle to its stop position. Would be cool to have only a few inches open just don't see it happening easily. |

Probably will not use factory motors.....or motors at all(thats how I would do it).
Or maybe linear actuators. Very interested. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) By half Height, do you mean to modify the Headlight so it only opens half height?
