Yea needs more completion pics. No way on Gods green Earth I'd even buy a spark plug from a co. named Izn Trbl Inc.

Im going to give them a call tomorrow i think and see who I can talk to but for the price I think it might be a good deal especially since I have HID already and it will bump the price down more. I want to see a finished pic for sure

[Pudmunkie]

Id love to see some more detailed pictures.

Ive got 4 sets of FX35 projectors.... they dont fit with the solenoid in tact as is. Id like to see what they cut, etc. (not that they wont work)

ill let pud make mine
seen his workmanship :cool:

[Pudmunkie]

Why thanks buddy :cool:

I'm not knocking pud at all by posting these I just figured since he doesnt like responding to peoples inquiries about buying lights from him or anything that people could actually get lights a different way and at a slightly lower price.:shrug:

I apologize to people that PM me and dont get a response. I try and respond to all of them, but I get up to 5 a day.

Takes a lot to stay in contact working a couple jobs, going to school, and doing contour stuff on the side. Thats also the reason my prices are as they are, I cant devote a lot of time to just retrofitting, so the time I do spend has to be worth it. Thats also why turn around is not 1 or 2 weeks... I get hung up on little things that the buyer may not notice wrong but irk me...

i know pud's doin mine, or i'll kick his ass.

BTW Zetec Ninja's HL's were bought from that site.

i still like my crappy/cheapy made retro fit a6 projectors. but sadly will never compare to puds or any companies final products

Ah well i looked at the site again and His car is on the site for those headlights:troutslap: lol

So do you have to have to send them your headlight housing or are the headlights included. If the headlight housing is included thats not a bad price but i wonder where they are picking those up from. Just worried about fitment issues

[ryanblacksvt]

Yeah and if you want them done by them you will be a tester considering they havent ever done a set for the tour before.

[BlackE1]

I just helped my buddy do this to his Jetta, (I am to scared to do it to the contour).

I read on the web site you do need to send yours to them or buy some and have them shipped to them. So price of the housings are not included in the $650.

Also From what I understand bi xenon (they use) is a single bulb which uses electromagnetic force to adjust the reflector to move the light beam up higher. (When using projectors) I think if one wanted to retain the stock high beam positioning (with a HID system) another hid kit and projector would be needed, which would cost another $650 for conversion.

Ya basically with their kit you will not have to use the stock high beam position. it is a high and low beam all in a single projector.

[Pudmunkie]

This bi-xenon does not move the reflector, that would over complicate the situation. It uses a solenoid to pull the shield down exposing more light over the cutoff line, effectively transforming it into a high beam.

Id love to see someone throw down the money for a set from him, considering I have 4 sets of those projectors sitting in my garage. They don't fit without cutting up the back of the headlight to accommodate the solenoid, or hacking up different areas to reposition the whole unit.

what are u saying?? hacking the back apart is a bad idea?? :laugh:

[Pudmunkie]

It is certainly less than ideal.... And the reason so many of milans lights had sealing issues. Its hard to seal up holes in the housing

[yamaha racer 686]

hehehe used a whole tube of silicon to fill the spaces :laugh:

really need to redo them

Thanks for the clarification. Makes sense now since in you move the cut off shield down it will raise the light beam due to the lens.

Alternative options are good, but for those of you seriously in the market for projector headlamps Pud should be your one stop shop. He's done several Contour projector headlamp retrofits and has the process largely down to a science. Alex is very picky and at the expense of his own time, wont ship the final product until they are perfect. That's a rare work ethic for this kind of work. It's my observation that most places offering this kind of work "good enough" is the standard and they often get away with that as that's easy to justify when your modifying something radically from it's original design.

These retrofits are half engineering and half art. Projector retrofits are a very tedious time intensive modification and though this mod is NOT cheap (average $1000), your getting Alex's time/labor at chump wages. If anything, he undercharges to make this mod more accessible to CEG. I'm very satisfied with my Quad projector retrofit Alex did for me. You might save a few bucks hiring a production shop to do the work but I doubt their final product matches Pud's in function, quality, and appearance. Their not going to put the kind of time and effort Alex does into it, they would go broke if they did!

My $.02

[icysvt]

Puds light are the **** and everyone knows it also. If someone didn't have the extra cash for pud's or didn't want to wait on him to get to them to make a set these would be an option. I need to contact them for a clarification on the process they use and stuff. I'll post when I find out the specifics.

[The Five-Oh!]

do these people give a time frame of completion?

[green SVT]

hmm interesting...

I dont know man, FX and my G have the same projector..I have not been impressed with it so far. My friends TSX still over powers my beam, makes mine look soo faded..Maybe an addition of clear lens would solve the problem, but still ya know..:blackeye:
