Quick tip. For taping around odd ball stuff like the clear bezel thing, use liquid mask (Google will show dozens of answers). You can spray or brush a couple coats on, let it dry, run a razor around the end to get that crisp line, do your painting, then once the paint its to that tacky/firm stage, use the corner of a razor to pick the end of the mask to where you can grip it and peel it away. Ive uses it to paint my RC bodys for years and have started using it in other places and damn does it work awesome!
I'm so down for this. Going to be attacking my own headlights for the very first time very soon. Only discovered the channel very recently but already addicted and keen to learn as much as possible so I can go full throttle
Hopefully, I'm not too late for you to pick me! I currently own a 2017 Ram Laramie 1500 that is Pretty much LED all around besides upgrading the headlights HI/LO & fog lights to the XKGlows which look pretty dope. About a month ago I bought another car 2012 Accord Coupe V6 Manual to which I was trying to upgrade the head and tail lights but quickly found out there weren't many options out there and the ones available were pretty ugly to be completely honest. So that's when I decided that I would look into making my own design though I knew it wasn't easy, long story short after doing some research I found your videos which have helped give me an idea to what I'm getting into. Sorry for the long comment but dam I am really looking forward to getting started in this new project!!
Lucky Jesse I wish I was one of the four fortunate but I'm in NYC.... that's why I'm glad to see these videos because I get to learn and entertain myself. I would love to take something I love and make some money specially when it's handicapable friendly. Lol. Great job!
FlyRyde hello chris handicapable meaning a handi cap person like me can do it.... I had an accident which left me with some physical challenges. Non the less I push myself physically and mentally. Modifying parts in a car I enjoy doing personally... yet I also find joy in helping people like you I'm an LPN and I started a community based organization Fit Urban Neighbors (FUN) and our mission is bringing awareness to youth obesity and promoting pro activity in low income community and after school programs.
Pick me chris! Ive seen almost all of your videos and they have inspired me to use the Ghozt module and start making some custom lights for my Miata! You can see the progress so far on my RUclips Channel. Looking forward to more awesome videos from you! Thanks for the content my man!
If you're still doing this I have a 1989 Mazda mx6 turbo, which I dont think you guys got over in north america? But i could be wrong. Nevertheless you would be the first person in the world to do something specil to these headlights as they are very rare and only 100 on the road still left in Australia! I have some amazing ideas for these headlights and I think you'd love to work on such a special restoration project!
Hey Chris , finding out how expensive it is to customize lights I decided to try it on my own my first set came out great and now I have built a couple of 370Z headlights locally and now I want to really start building lights I love doing this
Hi, Awesome vid. I love what you’re doing. I am very new to this stuff so my questions and observations may be silly. In this vid, at about 7:38 you are holding your assemble, as you move the angle I see the led emit different colors as in a spectrum. Please tell me exactly how is that achieved. Maybe I just presumed your demon eye board emitted one color at a time. Which one do you use and do you have part # for it? Thank you.
Damm thats looking nice bro. I wanted to start building my own headlights like for my celica and for more people here in the netherlands as I dont see a lot of people doing it. I really would want to try, but I dont know where to start. Keep up the work man love your vids!
Hey mate! Love the video, I'm actually in the same position right now! Looking to start up a new channel and make custom headlights, I'm located in NSW Australia, and I'm also an auto electrician by trade.. subscribed and keen to see more!
I would love the opportunity to just learn from you, I’ve been messing with LEDs and headlights since I got out of high school over 4 years ago. I’ve been doing my own and buddies headlights, but still have a lot I wanna learn. I’ve been getting by with amazon individual LEDs and just making them my own. Soldering and adding Bluetooth remotes. I hope you look my way and give me a shot
In some ways I wish the newer GTR lights worked like this (the old ones did) but in others, I'm kinda glad its not an option, lol. But I do REALLY like the idea of doing stickers under paint for that embossed looked before I peeled the stickers off.
Hey, I’m about to tear apart my new depo F250 headlights. I would love to have that honeycomb etching along with a 6.0 in the middle of it. First time ever doing this stuff. Would love it if you can help guide me through this Chris!
Finally been able to get back to watching RUclips. Schools been crazy. Quick question for ya. Is it possible to change your headlights to projectors? (Not entirely sure how to phrase this question)
That Guy sorry about that! I have 1000s of form entries that we quickly realized couldn’t possibly be done. I do my best to at least respond to all the comments on RUclips now 🙏
Hey sir love watching ur videos. Were can I order new fresnal for mine and my son 03-05 nissan 350z. The the etching that was done. Was watching ur videos of ur new shop. And the u talking about this whole virus craziness. I know this is a older video but a response would be awsome thank u very much
JL Fitment it was more of a test that I did just make sure the outcome would be something worth repeating. It 100% was 👍 Having said that, I’ll leave the replicating of that be done by everyone else, as I move on to other platforms to hopefully make content that helps them with weird stuff just like this. Imagine if I did both sides and it came it terrible! Lol.
YungCaliber15 thank you, and no worries, we planned it that way. It’s better to do the restore AFTER all the mods are finished, to avoid any issues that could happen as a result of heating the lights back up for reseal. Watch more of this series to see how they turned out 👌

@@flyryde No problem buddie. All I ask is try it and see. What works good for me might not work as good for you..
The logo with the backlight is awesome! great way to promote the builder ;)
Or the IG name of the car owner ;)

Man you do good work I just bought a 370 a week ago I would love to have those demon eye On my ride
For your logo on the clear ; try obscuring it with sand paper on the back side and it will illuminate with a consistent bright glow!
Where do you wire the Halos? I have installed them onto the inside housing, but i dont know where to connect them to?
Yesss more 370Z videos please!!!

Thank you.
How do u get the housing/ internals clear? Is it after u strip the chrome? Or is this a custom clear housing ?
Demon eyes look dope af🤙🏽 I want those on my 2018civic hatchback 🇬🇺
Where do you plug it all in the car and where
How much does etching the lens hinder light output from the low beam bulb?
Hey man... What's the best size halos to get for the upper / turn signal shroud?

You are welcome
What size halos do I need for a 370z? Is it 80mm? Or 90mm?
Like Vincent said it looks awesome and a great way to make promote the shop 😎 like always awesome work. Keep it up 🙌
In some ways I wish the newer GTR lights worked like this (the old ones did) but in others, I'm kinda glad its not an option, lol. But I do REALLY like the idea of doing stickers under paint for that embossed looked before I peeled the stickers off.
Sow you're working a lot now with the stickers to create newer ways to modify the headlights even more?
Hey, I’m about to tear apart my new depo F250 headlights. I would love to have that honeycomb etching along with a 6.0 in the middle of it. First time ever doing this stuff.
Would love it if you can help guide me through this Chris!
Do you make these for customers?
Hello men where I can buy the lens projector glass. Or what's is the name of product. Thanks u
Finally been able to get back to watching RUclips. Schools been crazy. Quick question for ya. Is it possible to change your headlights to projectors? (Not entirely sure how to phrase this question)
There might b aftermarket projector headlamp assemblies available for your vehicle. Check eBay
I definitely want to try to become a builder I just don’t know where to start
Connor l how about the video named exactly that? 👌
ruclips.net/video/qwF8bSbpoWY/видео.html

Sick af. What about Q50S?

Pick me!! I’ve been watching at learning since day one and even got a spot in lightsmen. One of the true OG’s! #marine_kustomz
Well of course you and my Academy OGs are always gonna be tight man, I'm more interested in your long term growth and helping you guys than anyone.
👍
Man, I submitted a form to your website almost a year ago asking if you'd be willing to do my 370Z lights...lol
That Guy sorry about that! I have 1000s of form entries that we quickly realized couldn’t possibly be done. I do my best to at least respond to all the comments on RUclips now 🙏
Waiting on the build for genesis coupe headlights
YoboyRickdog I just finished a set that might be the last ones for quite a while.
FlyRyde no way for real? No vid towards the build
Just wondering if you can ship a pair to Australia???
💯
Those are soooo clean!!! I love the illuminated "flyryde" touch ;)
How much would something like this cost?
Travvy this install should run roughly 700-900 depending on the installer. Or it would cost about 200-250 in parts and material to DIY
Is there a way I can send mines to get done ?
any ilx jewel work from you.

I have moisture going in to my lenses of my headlights why is that being caused
The logo on 1 side bugs me, not sure if it was on purpose.

Did you use bleach to strip off the chrome of the reflector parts ?
I like yours eyes
I would like to be a student 👨🎓 and I have so much reasons why that’s too personal for RUclips
paul perez hey brother shoot me an email. Kristen will make sure I get it 👍
FlyRyde what’s your email
Subliminal meow 😂😂😂😂
I have no idea what you're talking about right meow.
Hey do you do any work for the public? If so let me get your buisness info so i can holla at ya👍👍😎
Excellent install and workmanship but that lens is 🤮 customer should’ve opted for a cleaning service
YungCaliber15 thank you, and no worries, we planned it that way. It’s better to do the restore AFTER all the mods are finished, to avoid any issues that could happen as a result of heating the lights back up for reseal.
Watch more of this series to see how they turned out 👌
