Use a little imagination here


today I marked up how much I need to trim off the fender bottom edge and also the tubular part of the lamp on the bumper.
The idea is I wont need the middle lamps so I can have 1 as a air intake and the other to be flushed out.
The fitting of these lamps will be more aerodynamic than the stock ones and best of all, these are clear lense and have projector halos in them B)

Thats.nice. those head lights are not originally from a celica right?

this exact conversion was talked about maybe 2 years ago, the guy looking to do it changed his mind after seeing a photoshop of the car with them on.

it's a close fit. Good luck with this !

ray...you're one crazy guy. Thumbs up though.

Those are for a Subie, right?

That's a genius idea.

Its a projector halo lamp for a dodge neon. You just need to cut away some of the fixing brackets and it's less chunky so very easy to fit behind the bumper.
This is only made possible because I have fibreglass wings which I need to trim back a little.
It has everything you need in 1 cluster so I am going to do away with the middle high beams and the ugly rectangular indicators at the front.
Its so much better imo and will make the gen 6 look so much more cleaner.

I was literally thinking about using the Dodge neon projectors because i figured they'd be cheaper the 6gen projectors. Looks AMAZING! $130 for Neon projectors compared to $600-800 6gen projectors. How are you doing to neon wiring? I'm curious about that

$130 for these? Or for stock ones?
yes 6G projectors are ridiculously prices.
Wiring is easy. Just cut the wires and extend them to the outside lamp locations remembering which one is high, low, park likes and indicators.
Just buy your own plugs and rig them up.

wow thats different!! not sure what to think of it yet.

remember that the 6gc projectors have a glass lense thats why they are expensive. I believe toyota decided to keep our headlights glass (instead of plastic like the 93+ Supra) so that it would be a classy look and feel.

cant wait to see what it looks like finished, great idea man

WOW!! i realy like that!! im in the process of working on the fron end of my celi, and was looking at the cost of replacement headlights.. (my dirves side high beem is now an aquarium, and excesive moisture in the pass one)

* how much did those set you back?
* what year dodge neon they off of?
* and what brand in particular are they?
oh and you said that you have fiberglass wing?? does that mean driver side and pass side front quarter panels?
if you could take pix of what you have to remove and ware from that would be great!!!
and incase it has not been said enough.. AWSOME idea, and even more awsome that you are one of the first w/ the ballz to just jump in and do it!
thank you vm

Quickly glance at pic.
Do double take...WTF

Will be interesting to see what it looks like when completed.

do u guys know where i can purchase the 6gc projector headlamps?

Finally someone is attempting this. I thought about it a few years ago, but never tried it.

GL with it, cant wait to see the finished product.

Just ebay SONAR 03-05 DODGE NEON HALO
Yes we make fibreglass wings (front quarters).




ON second thought last night I mite not have to cut back the wings a bit but leave it sitting behind the wing like in the picture but I still have to trim the bumper tubilar lamp bit out.

Be interesting to see it finished...

The layout of that light is very messy, but it will be something different.

Yeah sorry about link. My phone is being stupid. But just go to ebay and type in dodge neon projectors they're not that's expensive.

thank you!!! yellowchinaman. yeah after looking at this thread, i reconised your name and profile pic, and was like " wait, i just read a thread w/ him talking about making some realy cool arow part for the front under tray" then looked you up on 6gc here, when i seen all of your threads about the TOP NOTCH replicas and 100% fit.. i was like "DAMN!!!! why do you have to be all the way over in london, and me poor!!" lol.. all that to say that after reading this i looked you up and seen all of the cool stuff you make and have made availible to us here on 6gc, and noticed the "wings" .. oh and was trolling ebay last night too (after seeing this) and i think i would go with this set

upon further inspection of your OP pic i would think that you would be able to fit it w/o having to remove anything from the front quarters. (as you are now considering) im hopeing that this is true, as i have the factory metal ones.
how are you planning to hook up the additional lights? looks like that top section is for oem turn signal? (in the neon) perhaps put our turns up there too (w/ LED "bulbs", nice since when they are off they are clear/white, so they dont leave an orange reflection in the housing) and give us our OEM section as a new vent or to block off/fill in.
as far as the LED's and halo' i was thinkinig of just having those on a switch, or perhaps even having the LEDs as turn... hmm idk, so many difrent options with this..

always thought about test fitting those. nice to see someone attempt it.

Thanks for the compliments.
I'll keep this updated whenever I do get a chance to do more work on it but that doesn't happen often as we have a workshop to run and we don't get much time to do our own things.
Regarding the stock turns I may just mesh it out. But then again I have a Varis front and I'm trying to make the car as aerodynamically better so having them as vents wont really help.

I been thinking about the high beam slots. Maybe make some custom foglights to fill in the spot?

>
YEAH!!!! great idea!! i was thinking about somthing along those lines my self wile thinking about the evo9 headlight pods that house the fogs in the headlight housing it self!!
perhaps make a fiberglas "incert" that would house a set of these and a clear plastic lense... if i can find a kit of the headlights that have the same 6k HID and CCFL halos then ill be set...

Yeah that'd look sick plus it'd give you a set of driving lights haha. Win/win situation

Any progress? I'd like to see the final result.

Not that much progress cos I'm doing other things to my car.
But with the lamps so far:
First cut off ALL the plastic fittings. Then rivet new brackets to the slam panel. Lamp must line up along the corners to the bonnet whilst shut.
Adjust angles for alignment then fix it into position.
Now I'm putting the fenders back on and have concluded that there's no way of doing this without having to trim back the fenders as well as a lot of the bumper lamp for it to fit.

I say no to replacing the high beams with fog lights. When that would be done, you would have exactly what you started with- low beams, brights, and fog lights- but it wouldn't look as good. The whole point of this project I'd to eliminate thR high beams.

I agree with you richee but its more of the uniqueism of it. It might look good or it might be terrible. Air dams would be better performance-wise(maybe). Some vehicles can pull the day-time lights off and some can't. Good luck and I might be trying this later on once I finish my turbo build.
