RX-8 Projector Lens Swap
 
I replaced the glass projector lens in the head lights to produce a much more intense output.

New lens on the right, stock lens on the left.

Modified cut-off shield. I also removed some of the foreground limiter to give more light closer to the car and off to the sides.

Notice the blue color above the cut off line. This makes the car appear to have 8000k hids to oncoming traffic.

It looks like I have a crazy blue HID kit.

wow that's freakin sick rodger!

importshowoff84 05-19-2008 09:39 AM

loving it./......how hard is this to do? on scale of 1-10

Rotary Rasp 05-19-2008 11:06 AM

very easy. the whole project only took a few hours.

im actually going to redo the passenger light tonight because I think I can sharpen the cut off a little more.
Id say its a level 4 project. the bumper has to be removed to get the head light off.

I drove Rodger's car on Saturday to test these badboys out and the difference was QUITE noticable! (aka Jedi was jealous)

Awesome job Rodger!

Well, the lenses are rare. They are from the halogen bmw E30 series. I'll see if I can find another set. PM me if you want to talk about the specifics...
