I'm in for the kit and the 100/130 relay kit. The slant 323 style of course! Sign me up!

Just thought I'd mention that I have edited the original Group Buy offer to clarify what is included in the packages.

any chance of these still being for sale around Aug? i know its a ways off but right now school is sucking away my life and money.

in any case, great find dude, i really hope people pull for this, it would be sweet. if anything changes with me in the next few weeks i will let you know, but for no i am a no.

does this conversion basically just bolt on, no difficult wiring, splicing involved? does it include the mounting bracket to mount the headlight housing to the car? i'd be interested in this as well, provided that it's not until at LEAST late august when the sale goes down and as long as it can answer yes to the two questions above. wil asked us for 80 bucks for clear corners 2 weeks before the sale went down... 400+ bucks is a bit hard on my budget, but i would be more than willing to do this if the sale goes down late august. and isn't this basically a method for HID conversion if you get the high output kit? sounds very promising and would definately be a step up from what i've got.
peace

These lamps are for BG series cars. They will fit in the standard location and use the same bolts as you currenly use. They are OEM, just not North American OEM. Take a look at the first picture that I posted. There is a slight difference in the headlight/corner lamp dimensions compared to your car.
There will be minimal wire splicing in the installation.

These are not High Intensity Discharge (HID) bulbs they are still Halogen (filiment).
The advantage is, you move from using crappy 9004 bulbs, which in low beam, can only produces 700 LUMENS to the better designed H4s. This of course is based on "clean plastic lenses" The stock H4 bulb produces 1000 LUMENS in low beam and 1650 LUMENS in high. Due to the "glass" lens in this kit, you can expect it to stay that way. The stock 9004 can only produces 1200 LUMENS in Highbeam .

The High Output kit simply gives you the level of saftey required to allow you to run the H4Overwatt bulbs in your e-spec headlamps.
The H4Overwatt bulb can produce up to 1820 LUMENS in lowbeam and 3550 in Highbeam.


HID requires a ballast to create an arc and with just 35watts can produce 2800 LUMENS.

ok ok, i can figure out the wiring and **** for this eventually. now what do you mean by the dimensions are slightly different? the headlight housing does look slightly smaller in that first pic (i think it's just me), however, it's hard to tell with the 'eyebrows' he has on that car. i'm still interested..

Hey Rick, your mailbox is full so I'll post my questions here. Slightly off the topic, but what are the chances of getting some of those eyebrows? Also, do you have a full frontal pic of the black 323, particularly the front bumper? I think it's the bumper I'm looking for ....

Here is the link to the full front of the GTX in the Netherlands.
Here is a link to her site:Monica's 323GTX

Notice that the corners wrap around past the hood line. With the portion of the lamp past the hood line "clear".

I will see about the the eyebrows, but I am afraid he does not have any GTX bumpers.

Rick

P.S. I cleared my PM box, is ther any way to to tell how full it is?

Here is a picture of what the JDM Clear Corners look like.

If you wanted to go totally clear, it is fairly easy to seperate the lamp and clear the amber.

whre have i heard that statement before... couldn't have been you funk... or maybe it was i will admit, i am willing to go in for the e-spec conversion, not till late august unfortunately, but simply put, 400 is rich enough for my blood, plus, i know i can find somebody out there that i can get $70 bucks from to buy my existing clears, but another $155 ontop of the 400... heaven forbid i'm in a minor fender bender, where will i get the money to replace the corners, let alone the 400 dollar headlights. i'm in for the lights, just not for the clear corners.
peace

it nearly brings tears to my eyes to see people actually wanting to get true lighting upgrades instead of that ghetto blue light bulb and hid upgrade crap

too bad none of the 2nd and 3rd gen people have pulled their heads out of their asses to get that **** yet...
