Teasers of a one of a kind lighting project
 

A customer of ours is working with us on a one of a kind projector conversion into his pre-facelifted headlights.

We retrofitted the face lifted OEM angel eye system into these pre-facelifted headlights. Not sure if anyone has done this before, but it was a challenging task! Foruntately it all worked out :)

We implanted a TSX projector into the high beam which will be using a 3000K (yellow) 55w HID system. The original low beam area was retrofitted with a TFX Bixenon projector. This is the main projector system for his truck. It acts as a low and high beam projector, and will be using a 4300K (oem color temp) 55w system. He will also be running a 3000K fog light system. Both of these setups will be on custom switches under the dash. The OEM angel eye system will be wired into the ignition so anytime the car is one, the angel eyes will be on. We should be doing the installation within a week or so. So I will be sure to keep you posted.

Please keep me updated on this...

Fingers crossed for all non faced lifted X5's...

woow :thumbup:

finished result should be interesting :popcorn:

Just curious why you would choose the dim OEM rings over brighter aftermarket offerings? Or even the brighter e70 OEM rings?

I'm also interested in seeing these puppies installed and up n running.
LWerkz, any idea of costings??

We just do as the customer pleases :)

I honestly think it provides an OEM look, with a modern twist ;) I personally love it and I think it was a great choice. You dont see many pre face lift E53's with these OEM type angel eyes.

can i have apair?

hi all -

I was the one who commissioned Lightzwerkz for this headlight mod. It all started when I was on Ebay looking online at taillight replacements and came across a set of ~openable~ facelift headlights that I was able to procure and that is what started this whole project.

From there, it took alot of research with some luck thrown in, but I was able to procure a set of facelift E53 rings as well. I have watched since ~refugee~ days the mods of headlights including the infancy of the 1st E53 headlight mod when it started with Mobile Innovations. One thing that bothered me was always the size of the AE ring in relation to the headlight projector / housing itself. The luck of being able to source facelift AE rings was what really finished this headlight project from top to bottom and I am super happy with the way they came out sofar. I am not a big fan of 5K colored rings, and all of the LED/CCFL products on the market is just not my cup of tea. Having a Quad Projector setup with OEM AE ring's is definitely a one-off mod but still keeping it inline with having it look ~clean~ in my eyes.

I stumbled across Lightwerkz by sheer timing as well and I learned something new in this process.There is a whole market of Light Retrofitters out there. I never even knew a industry like this existed.

Luckily for me, Lightwerkz is in the area, and I was able visit his shop, talk live and I had to drop off some parts during this retrofitting and was able to see the work in progress. Communication is KING, and I was always kept up to date on any progress updates as the mod went along.

For those interested in any headlight modifications or any lighting needs, I have no hesitiation recommending Lightwerkz. They can be contacted via email direct at [email protected], (973)-767-2014 and their website is
