______________________________

Details about the Halo's:

-Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps, with Ni-Cu electrodes,
-Glass lamps are protected by a polycarbonate serrated cover,
-Aluminium backing,
-High voltage silicone wires with PVC tube protector,



These kits also come with the latest v.2 Inverters, they are self-current-allocating smart inverters. They are designed to have minimal radar interference, anti-OBC error (which doesn't apply to our vehicles anyway) and anti-PDC. These inverters are a lot better than previous version that I have dealt with.

Colour Temperature: 7000 +/- 200 (K)
Current: 5.0 +/- 0.5 (A rms)
Output Voltage: 1400 +/- 10% (V rms)
Lumen Voltage: 700 +/- 10% (V rms)
Frequency: 40 +/- 10% (KHz)
Wattage: 3.5 +/- 10% (W)
Brightness: 32000 +/- 10% (Cd/m^2)
Input Voltage: 12-14 (V dc)
Life Time: 15000 (Hr)

Overall, they are very well designed kits and have a very high build quality, compared to other sets that I have dealt with.

Update: These kits now come with waterproof connectors, below is a comparison between "normal" (left) connectors and the waterproof (right) connectors.



More pictures (the rings pictured are not for the Altezza/IS)



The connectors on the ring end do not come fully assembled to enable easy installation, once installed in the headlight the waterproof connector can easily be attached by following these steps.



These kits also come with a 6 month warranty.

______________________________

I'm currently based in Hamilton, New Zealand. Postage for headlights is usually ~$13 (Within island), ~$22 (Nation wide), foglights fit perfectly in a H1 weight-to-go box at $3.90, but obviously can fit foglights into headlight packaging if needed. These prices are all 1-3 day delivery, but other options can be arranged.

The turn around for these services from when the lights arrive at my place is usually overnight, but the more that you want done the longer it will take, obviously.

*Also if anyone has any damaged lights (heads, tails or fogs), I might be able to take them off your hands. In particular I'm after the internals/reflectors. PM me and we can work something out.*

Nick, I hope this is kosher, let me know if I have left anything out.
All looks good to me bud, good job and good prices! Get in for a super awesome deal guys/girls to transform your car's image!

All inquiries/questions welcome. Post up or PM me if interested.

Cheers,


Cody

Seems pretty cheap to me :)

maybe add some prices for halos

Thats something I'm currently working on, but at the moment its not really a feasible option for me to supply them (will cost the same as the sets advertised on TradeMe). Every source I have tracked down and talked to seems to have the IQ of a damp towel...

I'm working on it :)

ThunderChicken did a great job on my headlights - turned out awesome.

Will be hitting him up soon to do my fogs :)

Definitely worth the money, did mine recently and it took hours upon hours, mind you i restored the plastic as well but for $60 worth getting you to do it imo

:wacko: see you bidding on (my) set of lights on trademe Mr Tchicken...building a spare set i presume ?? got a spare lefthand lenses lying around ?

:ph43r: Maybe... :ph43r:

Yeah that was the plan.... helps if you remember that you bid on something and follow up on the bidding.... oh well, busy weekend :)

Sorry don't have any spare parts at the moment.

Hey man if you do end up making it over this ways i have one complete passengers front spot and parts of a right one and a couple of rears you can *cough* have :D

Hey awesome stuff, yeah looks like next weekend is a no-go for me. But I do frequent the Tauranga region a bit. Will let you know mate :)

Edit: If you wanna PM me your number and I'll give you a bell next time I'm over and your not busy....


Just realized that I may have made a fopar, was that comment directed at me caveman? lol

yes for you mr t/ chicken pm sent

You wouldnt provide this service to people in Auz by any chance would you?

Anyone in Brisbane or Australia that also do this?

Yup sure can :)

Only thing being that I haven't before and I have no idea about shipping, if anyone can chime in and point me in the right direction that would be great... or if you know what to do :)

I surely you can ship them via NZ Post as i have bought some big stuffs from NZ to Oz...ie strut bar, coilover
Here is the example of how much it cost with 10kg parcel, just fill in the details
Hope this help, let Oz members know the outcome at your end...

Yeah thanks for that.

Here's what it spits out for the Headlights; (5kg, 500mm x 200mm x 340mm)



Nick, who do you use for all your international dealings?

Mainly the guys you got there :P

NZPost's International Economy is actually Courier Post EMS service. Probably the best option to go for as it's trackable and unsured. And seems to get to Australia generally within 2-3 days

Thanks Nick.

Alright team, time for an update.

I have added tail lights to the range of services that I am offering. Details as follows,

Taillights:
Painting: Black(satin) (Other colours + $10)
- VIP: $150
- non-VIP: $170


Note that these prices are a reflection of the blood, sweat n' tears that I have put into getting this to a level at which I am comfortable and happy to offer it to you guys. It takes twice as long, twice as many consumables and requires a lot of patience to get them right...

Also if anyone has any damaged lights (be it heads, tails or fogs), I might be able to take them off your hands. In particular I'm after the internals/reflectors. PM me and we can work something out.





First post updated, will add more pictures soon.



More updates to come in the next couple of weeks :)

Cheers.

Mr ThunderChicken,

if i was to bring the car up to you instead of taking my lights out could you do halo's for my car?

how long does it take to do?

Hey,

Yeah I can do that. Just the halo installation would take about 2 hours, maybe a bit more, taking into account the time needed to remove the lights etc.

Let me know what you think,

Cheers.

Where can you buy halos?

trademe

Try here Andrew:

Think Cody might be able to supply some high quality Halos soon though?

:ph43r: stay tuned :ph43r:

i no doubt will head north over the next few months. if i still have the car then i will stop by and get you to put them in.

there is no way i'm trying this on my own!

These are really good quality ones.. i have got them on mine reall bright

Great Price, wish it was in Syd

Thanks b_fit, pay for the flight and it can be :D

International shipping is an option, if your interested.

Hey guys and gals,

Finally found a decent source for CCFL Halo's, so I have ordered a few sets and they have just arrived.

Here are some of the details about the kits;

-Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps, with Ni-Cu electrodes,
-Glass lamps are protected by a polycarbonate serrated cover,
-Aluminium backing,
-High voltage silicone wires with PVC tube protector,







In my experience they are similar to the Halo's that Nick linked to before, but the rings have a slightly better design and higher build quality.

These kits also come with the latest v.2 Inverters, they are self-current-allocating smart inverters. They are designed to have minimal radar interference, anti-OBC error (which doesn't apply to our vehicles anyway) and anti-PDC. These inverters are a lot better than previous version that I have dealt with.

Colour Temperature: 7000 +/- 200 (K)
Current: 5.0 +/- 0.5 (A rms)
Output Voltage: 1400 +/- 10% (V rms)
Lumen Voltage: 700 +/- 10% (V rms)
Frequency: 40 +/- 10% (KHz)
Wattage: 3.5 +/- 10% (W)
Brightness: 32000 +/- 10% (Cd/m^2)
Input Voltage: 12-14 (V dc)
Life Time: 15000 (Hr)

These kits also come with a 6 month warranty

Now to the important part, price!

I am willing to let these 5 sets go at the prices listed below but I don't know if I will be able to get them in again at this price,

Halo's/Angel Eye's:
VIP: $XXX
non-VIP: $XXX

And of course there will be discounts available if you get me to install them.

Updated first post.

Edit: Currently out of stock

Cheers,


Cody

You dont have any that already have them installed do you just cause i cant drive my car with out headlights lol. So if you do i could buy a set including headlights off you then send my ones and reimburse me?

Hope this makes sence

Makes perfect sense.

I don't have any spare sets of headlights at the moment but I will be getting more in soon, I will let you know when I do.


Here's a couple more pictures,

Only 4 sets of Halo's remaining at this price;

Halo's/Angel Eye's: (4 remaining)
- VIP: $XXX
- non-VIP: $XXX

Slight price readjustments as I have switched to a better quality paint that gives a much nicer finish.

Cheers,


Cody

Very keen on these but Im a student atm. Will wait until I buy new headlights until I buy these.

Thats fine :)

I know what you mean, I'm a student myself.

Only 3 sets of Halo's remaining at this price;

Halo's/Angel Eye's: (3 remaining)

Package deal: Halo's & Halo Installation

Package deal: Halo's, Halo Installation & Painting

If you are going to MM10 then you should bring some :) as I'd be keen to swap/pay for some

You still dont have any headlights for sale already painted black with halos? Also would be after tail lights painted black very very very keen.. would send mine to replay ones you send down.. if you do get any in stock please PM me (front with halos in black / rear in black)

very nice :D you've lost count of how many you have done yet?

I should be able to make it to MM10, but bring some what? Headlights already painted with Halo's? I doubt I'll have any Halo's left by then.

PM sent

Thanks Wez, lost count a while ago :P all the paint fumes could be a contributing factor to that though....

hey cody, thanks for doing my tail lights look good as. nice job and fast to :)
