Do you think they're going to be bright enough?

I think they look good, if the lighting was white instead of blue. Put some 5k hids in there and it would look awesome! Very creative

For those who don't like it- can u give me reasons as to why so I can possibly fab up some new ideas or make summ changes?

And the blue will only be on parking light to match the blue demon eye on my low beams, but I will add 6000K 55w HIDs for when I need my high beams but I rarely use em cuz like I said my low beams are already plenty bright but the blue is just for show purposes

Thank for all the good comments too much appreciated

Pumpkin expression made my day thas hilarious lol

LOL, me too. I have no idea what came into me. Anyways, it just might be that the lens look dirty, I don't like the blue demon eyes look, it doesn't fit the shape and most of all it's not gonna be symmetrical to the headlights. For me, Q45 lenses really look good in big a$$ headlight casings with big round reflectors surrounding it. JMO.

O.p. Thumbs up(iam using the mobile format). This looks very good. And iam shure this will kick *** on the car. Can you tell me step by step how you did this?

I just purchased the efay high beam kit. And maybe I can do this using the delined lenz?

If you don't want to post the diy on here from fellow member slack? You can pm me the instructions. Also how much did you pay for the infinity lights?

did you remove the shields in the projector so they are actually usable high beams?


you see those little lips or eye lids on the lense? to make the projector high beam you need to cut those off.

IMO for HID high beams you're better off going with a bi-xenon in the stock headlight.

flashing HID will shorten the ballast life and probably bulb life. also HID lighting takes a few seconds to warm up to be full bright...not sure how well it's going to look if you need the highs right away and you're waiting for the bulbs to warm up.

of course this is from a practical lighting point of view. if you want to jam big Q45 projectors in your highs to say that you have them in there then go for it.

My intent isn't to use them as high beams, I've said it before lol my lows are already bright enough for me I havnt used my high beams for over a year, its just for show purposes and its something different, much better than the regular stock reflect, has some wha look to it, I'm gonna install them later todday to see how it looks but won't have any lights going to it cuz like I said I'm rebuilding most of the front

And yes I'd gladly make a walkthrough to help anyone out
