2014 Nissan Juke Custom Headlights

I finally did a build for my own 2011-2014 Nissan Juke… so of course I went all out with an EVOXR HID projector assembly w/By13 etched lenses, RGBW demon eyes with Bluetooth controller, flow series halos, custom one-off fabricated acrylic halo ring diffuser assembly (comprised of 13x 0.75″ acrylic rods), custom one-off fabricated acrylic shroud assembly painted matching blue, and finished w/a Superior Mobile branded acrylic trim ring around the projector lens. Also have XBLED fog lights and LED turn signal bulbs.

The stock housings I started with:

Taking apart the EVOXRs and installing demon eyes:

 

Nut & bolt (with a twist!) mounting:

 

1/4″ brake line for serviceable mounting. I invented this technique:

 

All hand machined acrylic:

Halo housings fabbed:

 

Made a jig to put the round-over on the halo diffusers:

 

The diffuser fabrication process from start to after a lot of routering:

 

I used a precision laser cut alignment jig to finalize the diffuser rod placement:

 

Testing 1:

 

Trim ring etched and painted:

 

Shroud basic shape…trimming and fitting…body filler to match contours exactly:

 

Lots of body work dialing in the shape…getting the top surface flat…Same concept for inner shape:

 

Made a perfectly sized sanding “rod” to get the two planes smooth:

 

Testing light output after adding some design details to the shroud shape:

Smoothed and sealed it with a high build polyester primer followed by guide coat block sanding:

 

Before and after paint job…gloss black for the reflector bowls:

 

All coming together:

 

One last test:

And it goes together:
