nice mickey did the same with my talon man they wake up the front end and can see the road so much better too no more worrying about deer jumping out in front of me and not blinding everyone coming my way.
i like how the headlights turned out. i did this same thing for my 00 Honda CBR 929 like 9 years ago. your tips of execution are way better than mine was...i would have tinted the reflective diamond part of the light of it were mine. flat black would have lost all the detail and the chrome seems to make it more "blingy" where tinting would have kept the shine yet be more sinister 💪
Well done throtl. So nice to see someone doing a lighting upgrade the right way. Not the cheapest, but for sure the best. I’ve been doing projector retrofits for about 14 years. Love to see the hella oem ballasts instead of aftermarket.
I wonder how spraying the dupli color black chrome kit on the beauty ring and inside of the housing would work out. Or maybe black chrome the housing and black out the beauty ring/ vice versa
Sonny from illiminate did the shortcut and it looks cheap. Yours look amazing...youve got to make a genuine effort when building a car, and thats why i love Mickey Spec
You guys should really do a project civic ! The reason being because a lot of people get Hondas as entry level cars , one of those people being me. And you should teach people how NOT to build a Honda , and how NOT to get crap for owning one :)
Gio Torres well the thing is that civics were not meant to be a sports car it was meant to be economic commuter car simple as that can you make one go fast yes but so can other cars all it takes is money.
Would have been nice to see the aligning part considering it's probably the most difficult aspect. Good job though they look fantastic, who cares what the part you can't see looks like.
Theres a big difference between Mickey's RX and TJ's.. you can tell the difference in style and how one keeps the integrity of the JDM look, vice all the kits and fiber glass. Mickey has it down.. less is more.
Those audi bmw oe ballast arent cheap neither. I once needed to buy oem replacement ballast cuz mine went purple which was a early indication they abt to blowout. over 150 bucks a pop. Good idea to snag from junkyard if wana do these retrofits.
How are you watching Hockey on Philo? Kings fan here and I don't see FSW on the lineup. If you ever scratch plastic like that I recommend the Novus 3 stage kit. Works great.
I'm running these same ballasts on my retrofit for my integra, also snagged mine from the junk yard. If you find them in a BMW, get them. They are way easier to pull from the BMW than the Audi. Well, maybe not easier, but certainly faster.
Mickey your a God dam magician bro, fantastic job on the head light brother, and i swear i was like " but mickey are you going to seal the back so no water gets in?"...and then you do it, why did i question the magician lol, keep it up brother! 👍👌
I did mine a couple years ago and it was sick. With the stock HID's, I had dual projectors in each light. I added angel eyes and demon eyes too. Looked so good. So bright at night.
I got HIDs on my Rx7 with out the projector lens. But it does have the proper housing for HID. So I have no scatter, no lens but, a great beam pattern with nice crisp cut off.
Should have blacked out the headlight housings to match the bumper lights. and you need to make the bumper and headlights match in temperature, make it look cleaner and uniform.
SO COOL! All you do is put in your digits and try PHILO 7 days FREE: try.philo.com/throtl #supportOurSponsors ! Especially when it’s a free trial 😬
throtl was a breeze signing up (actually)
Do you sell those at your store???
How could you not show us the headlights at night?!?
So glad you hooked up with Evan! He's got the best build threads for his wagons on the forums!
nice mickey did the same with my talon man they wake up the front end and can see the road so much better too no more worrying about deer jumping out in front of me and not blinding everyone coming my way.
Honestly love when people make their own fittings like this... a bit of ingenuity and persistence will always pay off brother. Good stuff man.
So KRISPY!!! I love a good clean lighting setup!
Even TeeJ was speechless and he never stops speaking!! Lol lol Haha ❤ you TJ!!! Lol

Was hoping for an output shot
Justin Kelly - I’ll do a follow up.
did it to my 2000 mustang gt about a year ago definatly the best thing I've done to the car so far
Fantastic job Mick!
I wonder how spraying the dupli color black chrome kit on the beauty ring and inside of the housing would work out. Or maybe black chrome the housing and black out the beauty ring/ vice versa
Looks good I wonder if you could use Petex to seal it up work for grudges on snowboards
Tj just looked liked he said “yeah, Mickey spec forsure 😂” great video tho
Mickey. Those look sick. Great work.!
Wow Mickey, this is some great useful information for anyone who loves DIY projects (such as myself). Thank you for this sir.
Sonny from illiminate did the shortcut and it looks cheap. Yours look amazing...youve got to make a genuine effort when building a car, and thats why i love Mickey Spec
Those headlights are pretty dope. I need to do a headlight build on my car. halogen bulbs aren't bright as they need to be.
Nice work Mickey, very educational.

Jzkaioshin that’s irrelevant .. old Hondas are jdm as well , and some people wanna see a jdm Honda build 🤷🏽♂️
Mickey has an EG civic if im not mistaken..looks dope asf on acid green wheel
th-cam.com/video/4HcOecFLZnA/w-d-xo.html
Mick! Those headlites! But those wheels and that paint!!!! RED!!!!! MickeyStyle
I gotta say mickey I love the 3 split spoke wheels in the red.. they're so clean. Brings the car together in my opinion
Well can’t wait for Ricky’s headlight video
Nice! The first thing I did to my E46 when I got it. I absolutely love it. Of course, I have angel eyes too:)
20:53 mickey looks baked af
-- Except I’m not because I don’t do any drugs.
It is now 5:22 am. Just bing watched every video of the whole build. Bad ass car. I cant wait till I start build on a future drift car
I did a set for my mitsu a few months ago. I added a halo ring that replaces the day time running light mode.
Yooo Mickey really is the doctor 😳
Love it!! Sic! The Bad Apple looks vicious.. Mickey coming with the do it yourselfers.
Enjoyed the video!
god that red rx7 is so beautiful
Would have been nice to see the aligning part considering it's probably the most difficult aspect. Good job though they look fantastic, who cares what the part you can't see looks like.
Tj was looking jealous that he didn’t think of that idea
He doesn’t run that style of headlight. So I doubt it lol. He doesn’t have pop ups
Micky spec with a you can`t see that Ricky style touch. No click bate here
Nice work Mickey! Wish you could come down to Australia and we could work together on my FD. Legend mate
Dope job Mickey. Looks sick!
Those turned out awesome! Definitely a nice upgrade.
Theres a big difference between Mickey's RX and TJ's.. you can tell the difference in style and how one keeps the integrity of the JDM look, vice all the kits and fiber glass. Mickey has it down.. less is more.
I love cool content like this. Very handy.
it's MAGIC, the RX-8 is back =D
Hehe. We can assure you it’s gone! We’re backed up on content!
That came out amazing
Well done Mickey👍👍👏👏👌👌 or should I call you MikeGyver😉
Awesome stuff guys
Those audi bmw oe ballast arent cheap neither. I once needed to buy oem replacement ballast cuz mine went purple which was a early indication they abt to blowout. over 150 bucks a pop. Good idea to snag from junkyard if wana do these retrofits.
Out of i interest, what model bmw or whatever car would these come on?
That looks awesome Mickey! Get some night shots, and cut off shots as well.
That meguiars hat is dope!
Awesome fab work!!! As long as you approve, and it gets the job done, thats all that matters! Nice job Mickey!
Really love your FD RX 7 bro keep it up man
Looks outstanding
Mini d2s 5.0's ftw.
Holy shit... the lights look incredible now. Well done mate.
300 might be cheap to y’all man but show us how to do something similar for cheaper
ImNotTheOne - You can buy inferior components.
How are you watching Hockey on Philo? Kings fan here and I don't see FSW on the lineup. If you ever scratch plastic like that I recommend the Novus 3 stage kit. Works great.
Looks Great Mickey!!!
The car has eyes now.
Soulie - Sure looks that way, eh!
Amazing job!... can you show us a night to shot of what it looks like
Calvin did once a android 8 screen on your channel i think i dont know what video anymore but i want to know what screen and brand that was
Jorian Van Eick - Eonon
Mickey you need some saline and an Eye bath, the lights look fantastic a job well done, Rickie & Helen could do with this upgrade.
I'm running these same ballasts on my retrofit for my integra, also snagged mine from the junk yard. If you find them in a BMW, get them. They are way easier to pull from the BMW than the Audi. Well, maybe not easier, but certainly faster.
You should paint the plastics in the light black
Frank Fratta - Nah.
@@mickeyandrade3435 Looks good either way, luv the build
Looks sick , ! Love the car man
Fd is looking clean keeping the pop up but with modern lighting. Mickey spec for sure 👌🏽
Nice mod.. I just did my father's car with the same Mini d2s 5.0 + 55w Hid 👌
unfortunately all that is super illegal in Finland which is stupid.
TrisskyTV - Agreed
Mickey which product did you use to reseal the front of the headlight?
A job well done sir !!! 👍👍👍👍
These are the videos I love
wow love it look crazy and also oem with more powerful light great content mickey and the job it perfect alway great !!
Looks great 👍
Those look amazing bro 🙌🏻
That car is gorgeous I really think it’s SEMA worthy
When you'll instal the hood vent mick?
“I’m no expert, I have been around this stuff for a long time.” -Mickey A
InshahAllah one day i will be successful enough to buy me this type of beautiful car
Love it bro looks GREAT!!!!
nice stuff bro
i did the same thing on my FD,i used the Morimoto D2s squared projectors.Good job tho
That headlight retro bulb looks like the alien on flight of the navigator😂😂😂😂 looks cool man
They look good night time drive around
Mickey all the way, looks amazing man! Nice work
Nice job Mickey that look great
Should get Osram CBA bulbs for a brighter white.
Your a bad ass bro that looks fantastic
Thanks, Great Channel!
Those headlights are gorgeous
Mickey your a God dam magician bro, fantastic job on the head light brother, and i swear i was like " but mickey are you going to seal the back so no water gets in?"...and then you do it, why did i question the magician lol, keep it up brother! 👍👌
Aren't the hid bulb gonna melt anything?
Odiish Lexis06 - No.
Nope, hids don’t run any hotter than halogens
I see FD I hit like.... easy system💪
Edit: I’ve been looking around for a nice looking affordable LED conversion for an FD and this looks killer.
This is HiD....
Brandon R *HID... my bad
My RX8 could definitely use this.
I did mine a couple years ago and it was sick. With the stock HID's, I had dual projectors in each light. I added angel eyes and demon eyes too. Looked so good. So bright at night.
Looking sick!!
Looks awesome! Want to do this to my s13
Hey man keep up the videos! I plan on buying a FD while I'm out here in Japan, and need all the info I can get! Ha
I got HIDs on my Rx7 with out the projector lens. But it does have the proper housing for HID. So I have no scatter, no lens but, a great beam pattern with nice crisp cut off.
Should have blacked out the headlight housings to match the bumper lights. and you need to make the bumper and headlights match in temperature, make it look cleaner and uniform.
Benjamin Truong - I didn’t want black headlights. But, thanks.
The CBI bulbs he is using will match the leds well
Evan Patak it must be, known him for years through m5board and other various bmw forums
Will definitely do this on my fd.
Would have made those rings black
Nice set up but I think we are ready for the oscar myers weiner mobile aka 240sx
I am sorry to tell you that the very important part of the car, the one that got you so excited has been removed...😢
@@edwinooi9166 lol you must be a fruit cake
Thats rad!!
How much was the projectors and the shroud?
