Lightwerkz quad TFX & concealed Valentine 1

Dr Jekyll · Mon, Oct-12-2009, 02:12:48 AM

I installed the Lightwerkz quad-TFX a couple weeks ago, and I gotta say that it's one of my favorite mods. I have read other members reviews, but I was hesitant to do the conversion because my car would be sitting around without headlights until the conversion was done. Luckily, Caesar was able to do an extremely fast job, and after shipping the lights both ways via UPS Next-Day air, the turnaround time was less than a week. It is amazing how much of an improvement this is over stock. I could light up all 4 lanes on the freeway, and the intensity of the lights make it look like daylight in front of me. Although I don't have any night pictures, here are some pictures to show what they look like on the car:

My next new mod that also falls in my favorite mod list is my concealed Valentine 1. I've always wanted to this mod, but again, I wasn't able to locate a vendor that sold the OEM rearview mirror with the V1 remote display etched on to the mirror. Luckily, a couple months ago, I found a mirror with the V1 display etched into it for an amazing deal. I then tried to find the stealthiest way to hide the main unit, and fellow forum member RaceMX-M3 obliged. He was able to hide the main unit onto my rear passenger headrest. Again, turnaround time was excellent, and he is an awesome guy to deal with. I did extensive testing with two Valentine ones in my car, and the installation in the headrest works as well as a V1 that is mounted on the windshield. Lastly, I had to find a qualified installer to finish this off. I went with Orangefever's recommendation of Method Sound in So. Cal. Thanks for the recommedation. Michael at Method Sound did an awesome job. He was able to install at my request the V1 remote volume control module in front of the coinholder underneath the armrest.

very very nice man. everything looks great. Have you throught about depo corners to tie in the new headlights? I think it would complete the look of the TFX converstion

I'm not a fan of depo corners.

Ed,

Looks awesome, glad the headrest worked out. Love the dual zenon headlamps, how much did that cost?
