I'll take some pics of the light path. I'll see if the camera can get them the way I see them.

Light is not as bad. I see the light. Not as bright as OEM. Still good. I'm going to aim them higher and call it a day. NY has so many street lights, I don't really need them. Also the high beams shoot higher and further. Dark area, hit the high beams.

The headlights sometimes go out. I believe the driverside or both were out when you were driving. I didn't see the reflections on bumpers on the way to Motorcepts that night. Sometimes I see the low beams reflecting off bumpers. I can paint them silver from the backside without taking them apart if I need to. I can always wait for some junk LCI and swap the projectors if I want.

so where did u net out with the tinting of the orion rings? i know at one point you tried the nite shade tinting paint but thought it was too dark. did you end up taking it off or trying a lighter coating?

im trying to figure out my full gameplan because i wont have a lot of time to get-r done or play around before my shoot on saturday lol


luckily ive done a few sets now so i can move quickly

Took it all off and did one coat. I mist it on about 1ft away, with rustoleum tint spray. Then spray clear right after with no waiting in between. I tried spray one coat with nightshade and rustoleum about 4-6 inches away, but the overlapping spray will come out too dark. So the overall look will come out inconsistent. This may also be due to the shape of the object. Also tried to mist it on about 1ft away, and do multiple layers. But it'll come out grainy. So after some test sprays. I ended up misting it on and then spray clear. This way the individual dots of paint would start to blend in. Hope that makes sense.

Installed the Orion V4. Will have pics tomorrow. Cold and wet outside right now. So here are some teasers. Not much difference. Subtle changes.

Orion V2 and Orion V4 size comparison. The V4 are huge. Had to trim the shroud and still barely fit. Putting the lens back on was tricky.



Subtle change.

Those should look great.

DK... your smaller rings are wrong sized... they should not be that big. In addition to needless cutting, that means your little rings' full circle won't even be visible unless you're looking at the headlights below head level.

I am working on a set of LCI's right now, and I can probably take pics later.

Actually, just remembered I have pics from another project.

The right ring size is perfect fit:

I knew something was off. You have no idea how hard it was to put these rings in. F*ck. What's done is done.
