GB: Bi-xenon HID PROJECTOR - SakeBomb Garage

[3RotorMotor]

SakeBomb Garage presents:



We all know that the stock headlights on the Rx-7 are vastly inadequate for driving at night. We finally decided to fix this problem once and for all. SakeBomb Garage is pleased to offer the first and only true 'pop-up' Bi-Xenon Projector HID kit for the FD.





FD owners: Welcome to the 21st Century.

HID Lighting 101:
Other HID “kits” use the stock headlight housing in conjunction with a Xenon bulb. The plus side, they are unbelievably cheap. The negative side? Typically these setups:
-blind other drivers
-have a horrible field of view
-severely scatter the light
-have uneven lighting with no cutoff
-actually WORSEN your night vision (they throw intense light into the foreground (actually making your pupils close) causing your distance night-vision to become worse than with your stock halogen lights)

Projector HID's on the other hand are what is used in every OEM HID lighting setup. Our Projectors:
-Have a very even dispersion of light
-Have a very wide dispersion of light
-Have a very long throw (with high beams)
-Illuminate much larger portions of the road while not ruining your night vision
-Oh yeah, and they don't blind other drivers, or attract attention from people who may or may not drive Crown Victorias


To truly see the difference you need to see our kit in person, pictures honestly don’t do it justice.

The SakeBomb Garage Projector HID kit is plug and play. Simply pop out your own lights, trim the headlight bucket, pop in the new lights, and connect the ground and power cable.



HIGHLIGHTS:
~New headlight housings, with bi-xenon (high/low) projectors
~Optically clear projector lenses
~New (OEM) Philips 4300K bulbs.
~High quality 35 watt weatherproofed ballast
~Plug and play wiring harness specifically for the FD


At the request of a few forum members, we are offering as an option the Mistubishi Generation 4 35w OEM ballast, to replace the aftermarket ones included in our standard kit. Functionally these are the same 35w output as the aftermarket ballasts, so the light output will be the identical. It's basically a name brand vs generic choice, but we wanted to give people the option to choose.


Pricing:
$750 - Standard
$830 - Upgraded Ballasts

(Buyer pays actual shipping cost)


As you can clearly see (no pun intended ), these are not your cheap h4 conversion kit lights. There is an unbelievable amount of work which goes into creating each kit, but once you install these lights in your car you will quickly realize why you could NEVER go back to anything else! This kit, while retaining the stock appearance, brings to the FD the lighting quality and output of this decade!

NOTE **Unfortunately we got our subforum on RCC a little late. The current GB we are running is ending at the end of THIS MONTH (OCTOBER)!! Payments must be made by Nov. 1st to be included in this GB. **

Please include (Forum name), (Standard/Upgraded Ballast), (Your zip)

One week left!

[Mobius]

This looks pretty decent! I have a few questions though,

Do you have any pictures of the retrofit? Is the the projector fitted into a stock reflector housing, usable with the stock shroud ect?

What projectors are used with this kit?

Do you have pictures of the cut off against a wall? Has the cut off been modified in any way, for sharpness or flicker?

How were the ballasts weatherproofed? Silicone dipped or thermally conductive epoxy inside?

Is there any rotational adjustment for the projectors to level/line the cut off up?

Shipping to Canada?

Thanks :)

Hey, Thanks for your interest. We had everything in slideshows but unfortunately RCC wont accept HTML code so we cant display the slide shows we have of all of the parts. I'll post pics and video of everything but all of the explanations that normally go along with our pictures wont be there.

Shipping to Canada is not a problem and we can get a price quote for you if you are interested. The projectors we use are FX projectors with optically clear lenses. The cutoff is very sharp and does have blue/purple flicker at the top of the cutoff. The ballasts are weather-sealed (i believe a silicone gasket... though I havent taken them apart). Yes the lights can be adjusted up/down and L/R just like stock using the stock adjustment screws :) I'll post pics, video, and sideshows below. -Heath

PAYMENTS:

Paypal - sakebombgarage@gmail.com

e-check payment is preferred as we are not charged the 3% paypal fee for the transaction, and therefore don't pass any extra cost on to the customer (either up front in the price or afterwards in the payment process). **Please add 3% to the total if using STANDARD paypal.** We decided that it would be better to NOT build in this 3% into to the cost up front, but give customers the option to save the money. Unfortunately it adds some confusion to the payment process. (Please contact me if you choose to pay using e-check, and need any assistance using it. Basically paypal's e-check function is free because it withdraws money from your bank account instead of credit card... I guess paypal likes that method better and therefore does not charge for it) -Heath

Just a quick update guys, parts are ordered and we are waiting on them to arrive (the large order cleared out a few vendors, and we are still waiting on a few additional parts so we can get going). We should have an update with some REAL progress shortly. :) -Heath

[2gslse]

Great!!! can't wait to see them (and the road) I drove my car the other night w/the candles that mazda calls headlights

[probedb]

Hi, efiniste pointed me at these projectors but I see I'm too late :(

Do you by any chance have any spare sets or are you likely to be doing any more?

[2gslse]

Any updates???

[3RotorMotor]

do you need RHD or LHD? We may be able to come up with an extra set... shoot me an email @ sakebombgarage@gmail.com



Any updates???

We're on it... parts are just taking longer than we had expected unfortunately. I've got 21 sets of housings here, all the various other parts, and a box-o-projectors is in the mail on the way to me now, and should be here in just a number of days. :icon_tup: That's the good news. :driving:

The bad news: :icon_tdown:
We've cleared out our vendors of housings, and are trying to locate the last 9 now. What this means is a temporary hold on the last 9 units until we get more housings. Hopefully this wont take too long, and we still have 21 sets to build now, but we're working on getting the rest of the housings now.

[2gslse]

Good news for the first 21 on the list bad news for the rest of us :( oh well maybe I will move sooner the next time.

[3RotorMotor]

Sorry for the lack of updates everyone... I'll get some pics posted up shortly. So long story short, we've been working on the lights non stop and there are many many hours of work that is going into each set... it looks like we're not going to make the Christmas deadline.

On the plus side, we have purchased another 16 sets of housings which will be shipped soon. Since there are so many and shipping via air would have been the same price as the lights themselves they have to come by boat. We are probably looking at a 1.5-2 month wait... still waiting to hear back on final shipping times for the housings.

So in a nutshell, we are moving along but are still behind schedule. Sorry for the delays guys...

-Heath

[2gslse]

How is everything coming now? Did you find enough housings yet?

[probedb]

I dropped an email several weeks ago but I take it there's no chance of any spare sets if you don't have enough housings for current orders?

[3RotorMotor]

I dropped an email several weeks ago but I take it there's no chance of any spare sets if you don't have enough housings for current orders?

Not sure how I missed it. We placed an order for 16 sets of housings which left around 8 extras (4 of which have sold already). They are coming by boat from Taiwan, and the estimated time frame is between 1-1.5 months for them to get to us (give or take). If you would like one of the remaining 4 let me know.

To everyone else waiting on lights... if you are #23 or below we are currently still working on them but getting very close. We have about half done. We'll post an update as soon as we have the last ones finished and then send tracking numbers. If you are later in the list please bear with us as we are simply waiting on the shipment from taiwan to arrive. -Heath

I'm updating the list as since the GB closed some people have dropped out, joined in, or failed to pay. This means a slight reorder of the list, which will reflect in the new numbering. Going through the paypal payment log I've noticed a few people who may have forgotten to pay shipping or paypal charges... I will email/PM those people shortly. Orders #1-23 are ready to ship, and assuming everything is paid up you should receive an email with your tracking number early next week (fed ex for US orders, USPS for international). Orders #24+ will be built as soon as we receive the next batch of housings. Thanks for bearing with us everyone!! -Heath

Also, I just wrote up an installation and aiming guide. It's a first draft. It's too wordy, too detailed, and needs more pictures... but it will get you all the way through the installation. We'll revise it but the link will stay the same (and we will also host it on our website when the website is finished). Anyway, here is a link to the installation guide -> FD Bi-Xenon Installation Guide (http://docs.google.com/View?id=dds32mrv_47fb7wngfw)

Will pay the remaining balance tomorrow :) Cool, only 3 sets in the UK!

[Mobius]

WooHoo! I got bumped up the list! :D

[probedb]

I sent final payment guys....

[probedb]

Any updates on this?? Nearly a month since your last update.

[proz07]

if your looking for updates check rx7club.com they are over there more often. word was the last half of the lights were gonna be another month or so. but they are worth it ive recieved mine not installed yet but looks like they retofitted rather well without remaking an entire new assembly so far im happy with them although i have not insalled them yet. and sakebomb has been very straight forward with everything about the kit thus far everything they have said about the kits is true thus far.

Cheers for the update, for some reason I can't register on rx7club and the admins are crap and don't reply to any emails requesting help so I ditched them. They also deleted an account I had for 4/5 years for no reason.

We have the next set of housings (#24+) and are estimating about a month to build/ship them. :) -Heath

Sweet :D Can't wait.

[93vrfd_houston]

+1........can' wait to put these on.

[McVicker]

Just giving a little update. There was a bit of a hold up when sourcing the remaining projectors. We have all the components now and Heath is working away trying to get the lights out ASAP. Estimated ship time will be roughly two weeks. Again sorry for the hold up guys, but with large orders like this these things can happen.

-Dan

Cheers Dan, noticed the reply on Facebook.

Awesome!

Sorry I can't use the other forum...I'm registered but the account won't let me post (after they removed my 5 year old account for no reason as well) and non of the admins or mods ever reply to emails so I can't get it fixed :banghead:

sweet, thanks for the update 3 rotor. wasn't in a rush just wondering

[3RotorMotor]

All kits from GB#1 have been shipped :)

We're gonna run this second GB list for another two weeks and then close/finalize the GB as everyone signed up here has been waiting for awhile. This will be the last GB we will be running on these lights for some time and I can't say for sure when we'll be making another batch, as we have many other parts we would like to move on to.

Get 'em before you can't ;)

8. Porschepilot79
9. HalfSpec
10. RENESISFD

The new GB price is $850 shipped within the US. I'll be posting a new thread for the second GB shortly. This will be the last run on these HID lights for a long time, or possibly indefinately so if you are interested in them you've got only a couple weeks to decide. Once the GB is finalized and order for parts placed thats it... we cant squeeze anyone else in.

:D Make sure to aim them as per the directions. The aiming guide is conservative and you can raise them higher if desired so long as you use good judgment. Lets see them on the car and some night shots

Going to sort these in the next couple of weeks and then I'll get some shots :)

We are running one final GB on the HID's. This is the last one we are going to run as the lights are really labor intensive to make and we are ready to move on to the next FD parts projects on our list.

We'll get the last GB list up tomorrow. At this point there are only a few spots left. Get in while you can. -Heath

I took a few shots of mine fitted and also the view in the dark :)

WOW! Your car looks amazing! Love the bumper... very clean!!! You could even raise the lights up a tad for more visibility. The aiming instructions are for a standard height, so with your car lowered you can probably get away with more. Anyway the car looks great and thanks for uploading pics !!! Enjoy being able to see where you are going :icon_tup: Cheers!

Cheers...I was going for clean :) Yeah I've been trying to find somewhere to follow the instructions as they're just set to roughly what the HIDs were set to.

You can see the Feed lights there too, let's just say the quality of your lights is rather better!

I just have to see how they go through the MOT over here now.

The difference between even HIDs and these is amazing, it's like someone turned the sun on at night when on full beam :D And the cut off is brilliant, it's nice knowing you're not blinding people as you can see exactly where the light is going!

I would think you should pass MOT with flying colors. I mean I can't say for sure but there is so little light above the cutoff that I would think all that would be required is having them properly aimed. MOT has a beam analyzer correct? I'm interested to see what MOT has to say as we don't really have light checks over here in California... just really stringent smog checks.

Yeah it should be fine but you never know with an MOT which is a roadworthiness test (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOT_test). It's not just lights but everything :) They have rules for everything including beam patterns and stuff.

Then again you'd be amazed at the number of people still manage to drive around with a headlight or brakelight out!

[TRISPEEDFD3S]

I just want to post these because I'm still amazed by the lights!

Yes..... yes you do. I actually had to reup my account on the other forum just so I could keep track of your Group Buys. That was a sad day.

Yeah we have a lot of new products coming out now. The aluminum interior door handle is one of them. We'll get that posted up tonight. There is also the FC HID's , the FD HID's, the FD dual oil cooler kits (19, or 25 row), a fire extinguisher bracket for the FD, and many other projects!!

Do you guys post under FDNewbie Imports over there? I noticed you didn't have your own sub-forum?

Door handles sound interesting :)

Yeah we do.... though I just posted the door handle GB over here as well. For some reason the slide show isnt working... I need to contact RCC about getting HTML code turned on. Anyway, check out the link in our subforum here or 7club

I don't suppose you guys have any left over? I spun my car on some ice the other week, hit the central reservation and it trashed one popup :(

We *may* have a couple sets left over from the current batch. shoot me an email and I'll see what I can do. we currently have a waiting list going, and I can get you on it.

So sorry to hear about the car!!! :( hope its just headlight, bumper, fender... nothing too major! I had the same happen a few years back when i hit a deer... everything near the front corner had to be replaced :mad:
