Did the "black e-specs" trick - Page 2

Gauges look awsome, but you need GAS!

The less you keep in the tank, the less you burn it for hauling that extra weight around

Looks nice, I wanna see more pics of the E-Specs though. Think you could take some more, and also a few with them on to see what they look like then? I have E-Specs myself, and I'm kinda curious....

More pics, as requested. I'm sorry that I don't have more from different angles when they're off, I thought you specifically wanted to see light output and how they are at night etc.

Showing off LED DRL's

Blacked out turn signals

Ok, here's the light output. I honestly didn't notice any decrease compared to OEM. The car on the right is about 100ft away.

And finally one for fun

I'm lovin your car man, and those DRLs look so good! I need to find a way to hook up my DRLs on my e-specs, (on my a-spec MX-6).

Good job Ev, love the headlights and gauges.

Ah, the light output at night is nice to see. Hmm, just as with mine, the brights only show off in a forest or something when everything up is illuminated too, haha.

But I'd also like to see their appearance in the middle of the day too. Especially interested as to the blacked out turns, I love that color they give like that, seems more pure. I like.

Karma for the work btw.

Edit - Well, I just mean more pics of daytime. Just to get a better idea of what they look like mid day too, lol

Thanks for the illumination pics also.

the housing wont affect the light output. the lens of the especs have a magnifying glass type effect and that's what makes the output powerful. without the glass lens, the projector is almost useless (trust me, i know...)

Amazing work on the gauges!

**Evert** · 7-6-09, 11:55

One of my friends gave me nickname 'Ev' when I was 17-18. I guess it didn't really catch on because he's been the only one calling me that. Until now, that is

Thanks, Matt!

I'll take some more pics of the headlights soon.

i have the same sorta gauge set up but yours came out so much cleaner, real nice dude

**windy_mx6** · 7-6-09, 13:04

nice work on the e-specs mate, i'd like to see a how-to on that seeing as I have a load in the shed.

Still got a set for sale at $225 shipped if anyone wants to upgrade to some "real" lights from the crap a-specs you have.

**windy_mx6** · 7-6-09, 14:36

I'm interested in doing the dials mod, would you recommend me getting a length of WHITE EL neon wire rather than stripping another colour? I can get hold of 2.3mm easy enough, is that too think?

Any help is appreciated, great work btw

**Evert** · 7-7-09, 5:26

Here's some more.

I found a place for the strip of wire I cut off before:

And finally another one for fun:
