Audi style 4th gen headlights
Well here are some teaser pics of my hard work and effort into these.
Feel free to comment.
I did partially take the idea from Max0224, but I've been planning on doing this for awhile, even before he posted his pics.

points for the work but imho they'd look really good if you put them in r34's with retro'd dual projectors - spendy though...
can't wait to see the outcome.

Looks nice. I don't like how Audi put theirs in this stupid curve, yours looks much better IMO. 
Good job, keep up the hard work.

Toshi, stop wasting your Sakuma paycheck on visual mods and put the money into performance mods.  In all seriousness, it looks good. I'll have to see them in person though when your finished. |

Different, your pairing this up with some projector retros right?
Not sure how those LEDs are going to tie in withthe rest of the Maxima lighting, ie. the clearance lights and bumpers. If you could get them all to match color wise it would really pull them all together.

I was thinking about buying the one piece headlights, but decided it wasn't worth it at the time or the money cause I didn't know how the outcome will be. I'll consider the one piece headlight after I'm done with this one.

I wish I had the money to retro some projectors in my headlights, but I don't.
If I was going to retro projectors in, I was thinking of doing it kind of your style.
One main projector and one small one.
What size is your main projectors? Also HIDplanet discontinued their mini h3 light... d*mn!t
The color matching with the LED is going to be fun, I'm planning on using PWM maybe to work with matching the colors. I don't know if I'm going to put LED in the bumper lights yet. We'll see.

Well here are some more teaser pictures cause I'm still not done with them.
Had a little issue with fitment after I had everything together.
To test the LED if they work I used a DC 3.7V battery, and then I connected it to the car battery 12V. WOW a big difference..
Here are the pics
tested with car battery during the day, in the garage.
3.7V battery.
close up shot of the passenger headlight.
car battery again, with all of the headlight stuff back together, but not sealed yet.

interesting indeed.
what kinda leds are you using? 3mm, 5mm, SMTs?
like what everyone else said, it would flow and i think look a hella lot better w/ the r34 housing w/ projectors...

Thanks everyone.
I'll try to keep you guys up to date, but I work and go to school so, not much time. Especially this kind of small work needs a lot of lot to work during the day.
As everyone suggested doing this to a r34 style headlights, anyone want to donate a set of r34 style headlights, so I can do some measuring and come up with a prototype?  |

That looks very nice. IMO, even if you didn't do the corners, it'll still look pretty nice.
How/what are you wiring them to? Will they come on with the parking lights?
