View Full Version : bugeye fx35 retrofits=)
subaru3169 06-05-2008, 12:38 PM super awesome thanks to scarsofterror for making these headlights and harness for me.. wish i had the money to get better projectors, but the work came out awesome.. thanks jj=)
took me forever to get these lights in coz of various things that have popped up.. but last week, i finally bit the bullet and got the bulbs and ballasts i needed to install everything.. here's a rundown on what's in the lights
- headlights
- fx35 projectors<these are single bulbs with the flapper for highs, mine are not the clear lenses>
- harness<with the relay, fuse and stuff>
- led parking bulbs<not really needed but it matches.. i should also get better turning lights>
- digital ballasts
- philips bulbs<mine are 5k>
i can't believe these have been in my garage for about a year and haven't been installed all this time.. i really wish i had gotten these in sooner, these lights are really awesome.. ok, on with the pics=)

final cutoff.. it was hard finding a place with a wall AND a level ground.. i just settled on a wall and eyeballed how high both lights should be=/

steverx05 06-05-2008, 12:51 PM Looking good...are you running the Heineken Keg can shrouds?
And I'm not 100%, but I think you can swap some TSX clear lenses into the FX projectors which give a nice sharp cutoff with tons of color. Something to consider down the road instead of buying completely new projectors.

thanks.. i think they're heineken can shrouds haha.. good eye
ya i was debating which projectors to get at the time, but i didn't want to spend a ridiculous amount of money, these were only 92 shipped haha.. if the time comes, i'll get another set made:D:D
Lazyxturb0 06-06-2008, 05:34 AM i like, looks clean :banana:
subaru3169 06-06-2008, 06:19 AM thanks=)
jdubya301 06-06-2008, 02:21 PM isnt nice lighting incredible? it really gives you peace of mind at night.
how do you lik the high beams?
subaru3169 06-06-2008, 04:53 PM hah i do feel a lot better now that i have better lighting.. what sucks when i drive is that i can barely see where i'm turning coz of the apillars being so thick.. the stock halogens really don't help with their limited output too, but these would help me much more when i'm cruising up canyons and such
i forgot to take more pics.. i should include high beam pics too.. hopefully i can get around to that this weekend
ritky 06-07-2008, 02:48 AM Welcome to better lighting :)
subaru3169 06-07-2008, 03:27 AM thanks=)
Suby.LOVE 06-08-2008, 08:04 AM Makin' me jealous Terence :unamused: :lol:
axelthrasher 06-08-2008, 02:06 PM Headlights look good. Looks like a definate increase in visibility.
subaru3169 06-08-2008, 06:43 PM Makin' me jealous Terence :unamused: :lol:
do eeeet=)

it really is.. i'm very very happy with 'em.. i tell everyone to get better lights if they don't already have a good set haha
ptirmal 06-09-2008, 01:34 PM Lights look good on the car, I prefer a little chrome left in the turn signal area personally. Get some more pics of the lights on the car too!
I was driving on the AC expressway at night this past weekend and the whole time I was thinking,"Damn I should pull over and get some pics of the beam," lol... for those that don't know the expressway has no ambient lighting and is 3 (or 4) lanes wide with trees blocking the opposing traffic lanes.
subaru3169 06-09-2008, 03:34 PM ya, i realized the issue with the turn signal coz without the reflector in full use, the light won't be shone as bright.. that's why i said i needed better bulbs there to compensate the loss of intensity
shoot, i really wanted to get some more pics but i couldn't get the chance.. it's finals week=(
but i'll be in school later tonight and stay pretty late.. so i should be able to get some pix by then
Blue02REX 06-14-2008, 01:37 AM Dude nice job! I think I may have to do this upgrade to mine...
fastwrx25 06-14-2008, 02:07 AM cant go fast if you can't see
nice lights dude
subaru3169 06-14-2008, 11:04 PM Dude nice job! I think I may have to do this upgrade to mine...
thanks, but i can't really take any credit.. i had a buddy make the lights.. if you're able to, i'd encourage you to make them also!!
cant go fast if you can't see
nice lights dude
thanks=)
updated with a couple more pics.. i will probably put more pics of the beam from further away while i can tonight
jakeachy 06-14-2008, 11:16 PM those dont look handmade, he did a great job.
subaru3169 06-15-2008, 05:07 AM he sure did=)
scarsofterror 06-15-2008, 02:37 PM wow finally got them in huh terrence? thanks for the comments guys, and im glad your happy with them!
the reason he doesnt have the chrome in the signal housing is because these were an extra set of lights i got from a friend that i sold to him. and they were already painted ALL black, i prefer chrome in the signal housing as well. But they still look good terrence, nice to see them put to work!
scarsofterror 06-15-2008, 02:39 PM we need to meet up so i can take some pics with the dslr terrence, going to the canyons anytime soon?
subaru3169 06-15-2008, 05:26 PM yup, i'm pretty stoked i've finally got 'em in!! everytime someone tells me their lights suck, i always mention your name to retrofit
funny you asked, the pics i just updated with on the second post was from a couple nights ago in malibu.. but for sure, we can meet up anytime this week since i'm on break=)
scarsofterror 06-15-2008, 05:31 PM hmmmm, i work 8-5 mon-fri. but sometime during the weekend is fine.
scarsofterror 06-15-2008, 05:34 PM and when your ready for a tsx lens swap lmk, i also found some cool custom shrouds that look just like the e55 shrouds. we can throw those in at the same time!
subaru3169 06-15-2008, 05:34 PM cool.. just gimme a call whenever you're free next weekend
subaru3169 06-15-2008, 05:35 PM and when your ready for a tsx lens swap lmk, i also found some cool custom shrouds that look just like the e55 shrouds. we can throw those in at the same time!
nice!! how much do those run??
scarsofterror 06-15-2008, 05:47 PM about $40 bucks, but they look way better. clear lenes are $100.
jdubya301 06-15-2008, 06:40 PM go for clear lenses. they are def worth it.
scarsofterror 06-15-2008, 06:59 PM ^^he speaks the truth
subaru3169 06-15-2008, 08:43 PM i may have to do that then haha
vortectoy 06-16-2008, 02:54 AM about $40 bucks, but they look way better. clear lenes are $100.
Where can i buy these?
jdubya301 06-16-2008, 12:58 PM checkout hid-planet.org classifieds. a bunch of cool stuff pops up daily.

vortectoy 06-17-2008, 02:00 AM Sorry, I meant where can I buy the shrouds for $40
jdubya301 06-17-2008, 01:08 PM haha, ebay and hid planet they sell everything
jdubya301 06-17-2008, 01:10 PM i got my e55's for 40 bucks on ebay... theyre not knockoffs either. hella makes the OEM ones.
