Fly300Kt's LED headlight mod

[TonyD]

So I bought the LEDs that Fly made recently. Decided to try and put them on myself and it's turned out to be a complete bitch. It's still an on going project since I need to do some more resealing and put the high beams on. They won't go in for some reason.The little thing that holds the bulb in place. It just wont fit around the bulb at all. So I just installed the headlights without the highbeams for now. I'll do that tomorrow! Here's what we're working with though.







Overall I really like it. Only thing is I hate that I butchered my Ecodes. I wish I just did a better job. The DIY on A4mods was a little different since my black channel just came off. It didn't stay, so it looks a little sloppy. But oh well, this is still just the beginning. I'm still going to mess around with it. Thumbs up to Fly300Kts though!

Thank you Tony.
You need to make a MOD: Cut the wires (+ & -) going to the city lights, you don't need them anymore, just run the LED. To do so, you are going to need a resistor. PM me and I will provide you the correct value.
I like them a lot too Great job my Friend

Looks great! Nice work.

You need LED city lights ASAP. Call Winston and get some regulators

I don't think so. Get rid of the city light (leave the bulb and cut the wires)

[sambrody44]

What are city lights? I always hear people talk about them but never know what they are. Do I have them? 2002 A4 with halogen.

[fly300kts]

Post a picture of your headlights and we'll tell you.

Second and Third picture in tony's post, the other light thats on with the LED's

Oh and the LED's look really good :)

Btw, did you joey mod your headlight to match your caR?

[chadb2434]

I like, Tony!!

[TonyD]

I did not joey mod my headlights. Just Bixenon Ecodes. I'll post day pics tomorrow!

[A4 Moda]

Tony you're in the OC aren't you?
I've lived here for 5 years. How the hell have I have I not run into you?

[TonyD]

Nope I live in Thousand Oaks. I'll be in OC tomorrow though!

[TonyD]

So today I decided to work on them a little bit more. I noticed one of my city lights was already out and I've had them for maybe 2 weeks. Cool. So I decided to go back in and take them out and just see what happens. The LEDs still work even without the city lights so I'm not sure why I would have needed resistors. I also put the high beams in finally. They look sick at night! I wish they could be a little brighter during the day but at night it's absolutely sick.

Still No Day Pics. I Am Coming Over Tmrw

Stop posting from your phone you addict.

Thank you Tony. I'll call you later, I just arrived in Sunny CA

I know it costs a lot more put I'm partial to the S6 LEDs in the bumper route ...

That is a great option though and looks good.

looks great during the day, even better at night!

you meant those?

those LEDs are bright and extremely noticable under day time light.

[A4Ever8]

Looks pretty dope!

[1RAudiSQ5]

NICE!

[J0HN_R1]

Any more pics of B6 LED headlights..?

[Dake]

Looks pretty good! Much better than the tacky-looking "buy a flexible LED strip from Autozone and affix it to the outside of the headlight" mod everyone thinks is cool :p

[nein-reis]

Thread back from the dead... dang.

[rxrep]

Here is what they USED to look like:



What they look like NOW will be up in a week or so, once my front end is back on. Changed some things I didn't like and re-gelcoated the CF.

Here is the outside of the housing:



And since we're dragging back posts from the dead, here is an oldy but goody of the first phase of dual projector housings (they don't look like this now):

[JEENYUS]

rxrep, did you use the same projectors when putting those back together or where they something else of better quality?

I had set of ecodes and set of OE non-ecodes. I canibalized the projectors from the non ecodes and formed them in to the ecode housing after cutting out the standard high-beam. I then removed the beam cutoff plate from the high beam side (that's why one looks cloudy and the other reflective in the pic).
I did not "upgrade" because there was no need to. They work great and the beam pattern is OR for low beams, and bright as fugck for the high beam.

Here is old vid of testing the relay set up I used on the LEDs so that they'd dim somewhat when the headlights are on, and then go back bright when headlights are off. This is to show that the LED's are much more white than you can tell in above pics, where they look blueish (they are totaly white in real life). The slight wave in the line up of LED's isn't there in the final product; this was just bench testing that the relay would work.

I'll have updated completed pics in the next few weeks, as I'm doing some finishing carbon fiber work on various front end pieces and as such the whole front end is off the car right now.

that is great craftsmanship. i have a question. when you removed the area where the highbeam use to be how smooth is it back there? the reason i ask is because i have been thinking about doing just a single projector on my headlight and replacing the projector and the shroud. i would like to remove the highbeam completely, but i am worried that it will be extreamly difficult to smooth out that area and make it look clean one removed. any pictures of the area behind the highbeam after removing the shroud?

It's hard for me to describe because with skills anything can be formed. My goal was to try and make the front and back look as if the assembly was factory made, and also to make sure the high beam was directed correctly and not off in some random direction.
There was a lot of fiberglass moulding (almost like building a speaker box) before I even got in to the CF overlay. As such, the back side looks a lot like the back side of a custom speaker box. Wasn't any need to sand smooth and finish since it won't be seen, however it doesn't look ghetto.

Here is what the housing looked like last week. They are dusty, but you get the idea. Even the inside of the lens is covered in dust. I was taking pics of most of the CF work I've done while the pieces were still off the car:







Here is the inner trim portion of the headlight where the LEDs are located (it isn't finished yet and needs more buff-out):



Here are the headlight portion that everyone usually joey mods (you can see the moulded in strip where the LEDs mount in) and my lower center grille with CF border. I was holding off on letting the pics out until I have everything back on the car, but what the hell:



(Just wanted to stress again that I know there are imperfections- most of it is dust, and the rest have been buffed out further in the process.... before the "I see a mistake" haters jump on board)

You had to have been kidding when you wrote this?

LOL.....sooner or later they will come. But I effin love haters!!
