Default Any want Angel Eyes, clear corners, etc...

Hey guys,

First off, thanks to all of the prayers and kind words for my son, my wife and I! My son is home and seems to be doing well. Time will tell with him, but doctors are very optomistic!

OK, onto the topic...

I recently saw a pick of Lee's AP2 with the "Angel Eyes" driving lights installed and I really like it! So, I contacted Dave (W1ngman) to see how I could get a set installed. Unfortunately he is 5 hours from me! He said he would make the trip down if I could get 3 CONFIRMED guys wanting this done.

Is there anyone willing to come to the Winston Salem area to get these driving lights installed? Price will be $190 installed, and Dave said he will also do clear corners at this meet also, if anyone is interested in that.

Date and time are totally up in the air, but Saturday or Sunday preferably! And I am sure it will start fairly early in the morning.

If anyone has any pics of these installed, PLEASE POST YOUR PICS on this post so people can see what it looks like installed.

Dave, feel free to chime in with any more details.

Rich

I read, that Dave may can put the lights in a different area in AP2 headlights (around the parking light on the outter edge). Don't know if that is still a possibility.

I might definitely be interested, just need to see some pics. Dave already cleared my corners (sounds dirty I know ) so I'm down for letting him do this as well.

Rich, thanks for posting this feeler thread .

[Last revised 02/06/10...]

CONFIRMED INTEREST LOCKED FOR FEB 20TH

Those that know me...know me . Those that don't...well... Hello! I'm Dave Parker and for ~ 7+ years now I've been Rick Hesel's headlamp conversion specialist. I've converted nearly 500 sets of S2000 headlamps alone, but I've also done Acura TL/CLs and Nissan 350Zs for Rick's Signature Accessories with 100% customer satisfaction. That said...

...Some Items of Note:

Where will this be held: Raleigh, NC @ mlc's home

When: Saturday Feb 20th

Time: Schedule to be determined...with 4 cars converted over the course of a single day

__________________________________________________ _________

The remainder of this post reserved for scheduling conversion Dates / Times. You are certainly welcome to arrive earlier than your scheduled time (this *IS* typically a general S2000 get-together as well )...but do please be 'on-time' to assure I don't push folks scheduled later...well, later

SATURDAY - FEB - 20th
Committed Participants:
  • 8am - krshultz - aka Karl - AP2 - Clear amber pieces out. I will also bring Karl his SpeedFilm order & one pair of chrome 7440 turn signal bulbs (I need to be reimbursed $47 for these additional items)
  • 11am - RichV - aka Rich - AP2 - Remove amber pieces & Install LED 'Angel Eyes'. I will also bring Rich his SpeedFilm order & one pair of chrome 7440 turn signal bulbs (I need to be reimbursed $47 for these additional items)
  • 2pm - JCoxRocks - aka "J" - AP2 - Clear amber pieces out. I will also bring J his SpeedFilm order & one pair of chrome 7440 turn signal bulbs (I need to be reimbursed $47 for these additional items)
  • 5pm - CobraTi - aka Joe - AP1 - Angel Eyes & 'replacing the amber diffusers with something else'. Might also be interested in DIY white digital dash conversion too.
- Dave

An 'Injured Reserve' list is included within my post dated, Jan 17 2010, 10:37 PM

PS. When I ask for 'committed participants'...keep in mind I'm trying to plan a trip & the logistics to handle multiple owners whose desire is to receive professional and timely service on their cars. So...if you are only 'kinda interested', please don't post "I might be interested". This thread is here to coordinate headlamp conversions, etc for folks that have the funds and the desire to commit to this mod. I don't mean for this to sound...mean. I have to focus a project like this for folks that know how to pull the trigger, make a decision, and stick with it. It is only fair to me for my travels...and for the other committed conversion participants...to see that the project does not collapse. I'm sure everyone understands the sincere intent of this 'PS' . Thanks!!!

Headlamp Conversion Offerings

AP1 or AP2 Corner Clearings - $130 per S2000 - For this fee, I remove bumper, bracketing and headlamps, safely opening your headlamps removing the amber pieces within the headlamps. I then reseal and reinstall them, refitting bracketing & bumper as though I was never there...except your car looks even better . If an AP1 owner supplies their own replacement diffusers or Rick's Aftermarket JDM Clear or Smoked Diffusers I will be happy to install those at no extra charge while performing your headlamp corner clearing conversion. There are no replacement/aftermarket items available for AP2 amber parts -- However, these headlamps look extremely clean with the amber items removed. Typically, from bumper-off-to-bumper-back-on, this conversion takes 2.5 hours per S2000.

AP1 or AP2 'Angel Eyes' - $190 per S2000 - For this fee, I remove bumper, bracketing and headlamps, safely opening your headlamps. While open, I install the LED Angel Eyes to the reflective chrome high beam parabolic dish. I then reseal and reinstall them, tapping/wiring the Angel Eyes to your car's parking/running lights. Finally, I refit bracketing & bumper as though I was never there...except your car looks even better . Typically, from bumper-off-to-bumper-back-on, this conversion takes 3.5 hours per S2000.

If folks are interested, I could also schedule Digital Dash colored filter conversions. PM me for a la carte pricing from DIY to full installs...

Depending on when it happens (and if I have some spare cash at that point), I'd totally be down for angel eyes.

Guess I should also keep on the lookout for some spare amber diffusers so I can Mulderize them and get them thrown in too.
