Kuppa's White DA build oooohhh yeeaaahhh

Its in my thread a few pages back but i used RX330 projectors they are comparable to S2k and Tsx

i just got free headlights from a 2009 mazada 3 i believe they housed hids they look like projectors… im curious if u would know if they would fit?

They might and they also might not be HID its an option on those i think for the mazdaspeed3. I just looked them up and they are Diameter = 85.10mm
Height = 98.50mm
Width = 116.50mm
Length = 167.00mm

So now i would like the shroud to sit back on the projector more so i got rid of this little lip

after it sits nice and close

I also grinded these down to help clearance

Then i needed to take some off the inside

I made some adjustability for up and down to dial in the output

so i put one in and tested adjustment pretty good for not testing before just needed a little leveling

After that i started working on the the other filler piece





THEN Tragedy struck i knocked it off my bench and this happend
OH NO

Thank god i had some quick steel and fixxed it up

here is a teaser both fillers are mocked up and fitted shroud i think where it will work out and just need to secure projectorclose it all up and done

also this is my hood before the clear notice the cloudyness still after wet sand and polish

and it in the dark but its all clear now looks good for a cheap hood

put the hoodpins back, i hate them but the holes look worse :(, im sure you could find some nicer hoodpins however

BRILLIANT!.. Good job.

If you make another set to sell let me know :stuck_out_tongue:

I will i wanted to let the clear harden real good so they dont imprint i also was wet sanding and polishing too

started on the other side last night

used the other side as a templet

this is what im gonna use to secure the projector

this is what i look like after al this grinding and cutting

My shrouds before and after

getting it closer now this tim around it only took a couple hours cause i already know what and how to do it

Lookin good:up:

no work on the retro last night i took a little break and put my exhaust back on fixxed the holes with quick steel yes it may be ghetto but it should work. Now i need to shorten the gutted GSR cat i got from stevo so my exhaust sits where it should.

Driver side got some more work done

gathered up all my mock up filler pieces

more of the shroud and projector

Then i checked how it sat and made adjustments


Started making filler pieces



both sides now

clearanced the black ousing part

tranfered all the fillers to polished panel

front and back notice the diff

Then taped up the shiny side to keep it looking good while i cut and adjust

looks good seth now post up the ones you sent me with these beast DONE!!

Got it all finished up tonight looks really good

Fitted the final filler pieces in blue to keep them shiny

used some plumbers tape to mount the projector

drilled hole and mounted it doesnt move at all filler pieces

Lights out getting ready to check and adjust

got some help from my little guy we call him Monkey

I had to paint the outside of the lenses to cover up what i cut off the shroud

testing aim

interior of lights put together

closer look at fillers

lens on and headlight done one down one to go

all done now to put them in

and DONE

very sexy seth ^^

excellent work!

Those look really good! Definately worth the time and effort. They make your car stand out way more. How about light output? Are you happy with it? Did you get the cut-off lines perfect?
