- How To Install Demon Eyes and Honeycomb Lenses, in this case for a Nissan 370Z at FlyRyde.
This is a universal install on the Demon Eyes, but I give a bit of extra information about these custom etched lenses as well. If you DO have a 370z and upgrade to the STi-R lenses, make sure you use some wire like I did to keep the lenses nice and tight!

so YOURE the GUY that makes me hate other drivers.
Ramzi Aaron how so?
The lines in the lens actually help to aim the light output more precisely, so it doesn't blind oncoming traffic. Do you go out and test your creations to ensure you aren't actually causing issues and being a general dick to others on the road?
I hope so, when I mod stuff, I do it with an aim to not "be that guy" that is creating issues where none needed to exist.
I love your mods, but take a min to ensure that the mods you're doing don't cause issues for others. When you think only about how cool it looks for you and to hell with everyone else, you create momentum for overreaching and needlessly asinine laws to get passed.
I’d like to first give a legitimate acknowledgment that what you both posted was understandable and seemingly for the good of others. Here’s where I get real, and I promise, I’ll make a video on this, not only to correct anyone that’s confused, but because I genuinely DO care about you guys learning something.
So about getting real, the aspect of this video referring to “blinding” people, is in reference to someone standing directly in front of your car looking at about a 45 degree angle down at the headlights with the low beams turned OFF, demon eyes on, with enough “blinding” light to catch your general attention, more like a “woah, what was that?”
The part of the video where I talk about Fresnel lenses versus crystal clear, I challenge you to first research, then get first hand experience, then come back with any valuable knowledge to correct anything in this educational video. A clear lens projector will be found on certain projectors, such as the JDM or Euro spec 2015+ GTR lights compared to the factory North American spec lights of the same year. The difference in the two compared side by side will show exactly one difference: Clarity.
You can see the output more clearly, where it is designed to go. Not up in someone’s eyes. Not up on stop signs and back windows of cars like all the DBag truck drivers with reflector housings and HID/LED “upgrade” bulbs...
Clarity on the road, and specifically the cut off line. The absence of the lines/dimples/frosted pattern on the projector lens, allows for a sharper line, with a bluer “prism” or “flicker”. You’ll notice this as well from many current LED equipped factory headlights, or Luxury cars with HID from years past. They have sharper cut off lines.
That is what the clear lens gives you. All the keyboard warrior talk, or tisk tisk BS uninformed concern that will continue to be added to this video is both expected (sadly) and yet understandable.
Lastly, if you saw this on the road, you wouldn’t hate me. You wouldn’t run me over. You wouldn’t say anything to me. You wouldn’t correct me, or frown. You’d walk past the car, notice some glowing lights with a weird pattern, and either like it or not care. If you were to visit my shop and see this kind of custom work in person, you’d say the things inside were cool and you were glad to have stopped by and met me.. and that I was bigger in real life than you expected. That is all.
@@flyryde I was referring to being blinded by the lights but I was really just kidding around. I think it looks great and I am also jealous of the people who have nice cars with cool ass lights on them, as anal rampage stated because I actually think they look dope. good work brotha.
Anal Rampage that moment the the content creator fights back and you gotta be like nah fam just joshing ya
I've come to determine the quality of a video by three points. 1. Was the content put together well? 2. Was I entertained/educated by what I saw? 3. Was I left me wanting more? Your work/content is great, keep up the good work.
I actually appreciate all the tips and tricks you put in here. Who knew watching a 25 minute UA-cam video would make me a demon light enthusiast. I always wondered what was in the projector that caused the cutoff look. I thought it was the lens but in reality it's the window in the back. Which I'm guessing is like a shutter.
This channel is outstanding.. I did some DIY purple underglow on my FZ6 and I'm addicted to modding now. I've subscribed, I'm going to get good at this and do the work on my friends machines for their birthdays. You're an authentic badass my man!
Did you get good at it?
Your videos gave me something to do while I'm stuck in a chair. It's been so fun that it's made me want to open my own shop!!
Survivor 602 dude hit me up on IG or Discord and tell me your story 🙏
@@flyryde for sure man! I'm looking you up on IG. Lol you'll have to bear with me it's a long story I'll tell you as best I can and send you some news articles. I also have a kinda half-assed video on my channel about it.
I love that you sing while you work. You make electronics fun!
Aw dummy
I just used a piece of honey comb vinyl on the back of my projector lenses. Its much more cost effective and can be taken off if you decide you wanna go a different route with your etched lenses. This was my first ever headlight retrofit on my Q50 and turned out perfectly. cost me $450 all together in parts and the install wasnt that difficult. Just time consuming. The parts i used for my build were the Lightingtrendz flow series rgb kit and custom dynamics demon eyes.
This sounds light a great idea until you realize what heat does to vinyl. it will probably look cool at first but give it time and you'll see peeling.
Man they look sick man awesome job plus love the fact that u have a 24:45 min video without any ads at all.
watch out he'll take your 0.03 !!! lol
Christopher McDonough I forgot to stuff in the 1 ad ever 3 minutes 🤦♂️ how am I gonna pay for my lunch now?
@@flyryde I'll take you out to lunch =D
Believe me I can watch what you do all day and I will never get bored of it
God bless you
That’s awesome, lol thanks Sam 🙏
For those wanting to ditch the terrible stock projectors - you can use the morimoto d2s 5.0’s with custom mounting brackets making it plug n play. You can also get the deamon eye mounting brackets as well. Lightwerkz has them!
I actually line that entire inside perimeter with aluminum and helps a little with reflecting the light and fills it well
Retroworks Lighting makes sense 🙏 thanks for the tip brother!
@@flyryde shoooott I'm learning a ton from you man! I'll send you a pic of the set I just finished with that same demon eye setup of the internals. Modded shield and tuned as well! Turn signal lens retrofit with my "ghost etching" mod hehe
Man, you do a crazy Michael Keaton impression. Nice to hear Batman instruct me how to mod my headlights!
that ring light you use gives YOU demon eyes lol
HardSpaghetti 👹
Shit, beat me to it.
Giant Of The East 😈
Actually I think they would be angel eyes
No it doesnt. The "halo" is for angel eyes smh. Stop making shit up or stop listening to ignorant people.
Nice work:)
I work for a medical company and I build prototype vein finder machines. We also use highpower leds and for edging where wires make 90 degree turns an epoxy it's used. Not a fan of double sided tape for an area that is exposed to high heat.
The great thing about tape, is it works so well, and still, it’s not permanent. Glues and more hardcore adhesives basically are a commitment to always keep it the same, even if the product fails down the road. Not fun to pull parts out that are epoxied in, but it’s definitely something that happens.
@@flyryde totally understand. Agreed:)
I think that 3M double sided will generally hold up, but the electrical tape that its adhering to generally wont. You know what they say about the weakest link in a chain, if that electrical tape comes off, which it probably will in that scenario, the double sided goes with it no matter the strength of the double sided. I don't think most think about that.
@@flyryde it looks good man, Have you ever tried hot glue though? Im sure the tape will last plenty long but i love me some hot glue when im wiring.
Shawn Tame hot glue inside a hot headlight is never a good idea my friend.
Chris great stuff man. Just one quick comment about the Fresnel lens. The lines in the lens are there to bend the light straight so it doesn't flood in all directions. The lines do nothing to soften the light. Essentially with a Fresnel lens you can direct the light without blinding oncoming drivers. A full clear light is a flood lens and lets light go in all directions looking brighter but in fact it's the same intensity as the Fresnel. Might be safer for cars driving towards you to have the Fresnel with honeycomb etched in it. Anyway love the channel and content! Keep up the great work man!
Im a simple guy i see how to build demon eyes i sub
StaxxxCmd 👊
That etched glass is fantastic
what up chris! you did work on my buddys gtr a couple years ago. your video popped up in my feed so it looks like your doing well!! keep up the good work bro
Cherry Poppins 🙏 that’s dope dude, what’s your buddy’s name?
@@flyryde Paul. You modified his factory headlights and then he bought new headlights that you also worked on. It was fun hanging out while you worked haha
Cherry Poppins Carlan!!! What’s up brother, super cool to hear from you dude! Haha, I always remember you saying my neighbor was “FIRE”, lol 🤣
@@flyryde hahaha yes!!! that sounds like something i'd say. and super good to hear from you too, you have so many subscribers all that hard work is paying off.
subbed!
Hehe Just for the fact that you quoted the movie Friday, Im subscribing and watching all of your uploads
And Dude Where’s My Car 🤣🤣
People it’s easy to diy etch your own projectors if you’re not a baby about taking the housing apart!
The Friday quotes are hilarious 😂
Drill a hole just big enough for the protruding led to fit. Mount the circuit board on the outside with some good adhesive sealant to seal the bulb. It’ll be lower and accessible. Not trolling just think it would be easier and neater.
I need these in my life
Where can I buy honey lenses up to 350z?
Anyone else catch the Land Before Time reference? Lol 😂. Awesome!
Luis Estrada Yo!!!!!! Nobody has ever caught that! 🙌
The Retrofit Store charged me $193.98 for one pair of etched lenses. They make you buy their lens which was irritating to me, now I have to deal with a lens that does not quite fit so good. The solution? Spend more money and upgrade to new morimoto Projectors. Its funny in my area of the world, nobody has demon eyes. Halos are everywhere, on everything, so boring. You can see my Demon eyes way farther away and now with the new etching upgrade angled upwards, way cooler than those tiny thin Halo bands around a vehicle's headlights. Oh well, to each his own.
You’re a genius thanks for not being a greedy bastard lol and sharing your knowledge and experience with us your humor is also appreciated great content. I definitely need some demon eyes on my Infiniti Q60 S Coupe.
I'd love to introduce you to the concepts of heat dissipation and heatsinks.
If your light burns out, it's not from the LED driver, it's cause you cut most of the heatsink and covered the rest with tape
I thought it was a heat sink too but the heat sink would be closer to the led not the wires besides that leds dont need any type of heat sink
Man you sound like you got this all figured out!
Memo Catalan true story 👌
Smh when you guys mod cars for a living and make yt vids on it THEN you can try introducing new ideas for him but as i see now you dont you will not anytime soon so let him run his buisness and channel on his own
Aweosome video! I was around to watch the interior of the projector since my xenon lights don't light as I think they should anymore... So, I'm thinking the reflectors inside are toasted.. I'm thinking on opening my headlights and see if that part is replaceable or to chrome it back or even wrap it with aluminium/chrome reflective tape before replacing the whole thing...
This will help me planning my move.. Thank you!
Totally cool and entertained by how simple but amazing you make lights look. Learned all the projectors work the same. Thanks for the tip. Looking forward to more videos 👀👍as I want to start by upgrading my explorer headlights 😬
Jorge Xavier thanks bro what year is your Explorer?
FlyRyde hello Chris honored you took the time to write back. Love your work. 😊... I have a 2013.
FlyRyde it's a beautiful ride and works excellent for my growing family. The only thing I think needs upgrading are the headlights.. which would make my ride stand out but maybe I'll get a discount from my insurance for having DLR and save some money lol 👀.... I believe ford thinks the same as the main difference between a new explorer exterior and my 2013 explorer are the headlights. With more of your videos I'm getting motivated in upgrading my own light over the summer. So hope to learn as much as I can. Thank you!!
Angel eyes and demon eyes together are cool
You had me at dorks you when. Subscribed!
Interesting vid. But if steel touches those open solder joints it wouldn't blow the led like you stated though. It would blow a fuse. The Led would be fine. Why not minus all the weird sticky tape and bubblegum and just use a good epoxy to mount the led.
Man, you're so cool, make it look like so simple. Nice work though.
When reinstalling screws, first turn your screws counter clockwise till you feel it drop in, then screw. This help not to strip the holes;)
This was all really informative and overall fun to watch, although the tech in me cringed when I saw how you solder. I mean that respectfully, that being said. please, if you're going to tin your wires, twist them first to make them more uniform. props for remembering rosin flux though, I see to many people who dont use things like rosin flux or even heat the heat shrink with a heat gun, so many people use a bic or torch lighter. Overall though great video, most people probably wont notice the soldering stuff but I figured id point that out.
Thank you so much sir for the education, I appreaciate what you've done in this video ^^

Where do I buy the honeycomb etch headlight from?
Would look sick on a Scat Pack
I seen this with the Louis Vuitton symbols on the lenses & I was OBSESSED! Didn’t end up getting it tho on the custom headlights I ordered bc I wouldn’t do my man dirty like that lol.. it’s like putting girly & fuzzy things all over the car & then he gets in to drive it. we share our Honda.!He wouldn’t be happy driving around with that shit lol .
Magnificent job 😎 really awesome stuff 👌🏻
DJ Boom got pics and video for you my man 👊
@@flyryde I would love to see that ❤🙌🙌
I love the solder set up
Great vid buddy!! Love the honeycomb!!!!
Very professional modification...My concerns are: longevity of the LED pack in the hot projector enclosure, Water leaking in the outer plastic covering, Blinding on coming traffic at night, Can they be turned off while driving as in some areas they're illegal....Otherwise a beautiful well done light project...
Any idea how big lenses I need for a q50? Is it 2.5 or 3in
From my understanding the 5050 rgb led plug should have a small arrow on the male and female showing which way to connect them.
*absorbing DIY knowledge and ideas*
Information is well appreciated
Dude, you explain shit so well.
Efrit I try 🙏
if you want serious drill bits go with Chicago Latrobe.
Blast me in the face with your light bro haha. Great vid!
18:45 "they are not genuses, neither am i" .. I couldn't agree more
Weld Maghreb Neither are you GENIUS
Nice video, heard a few movie references in there, land before time,Friday,Varsity Blues lol... I probably missed a few but i subscribed now after this and the headlight seperation video im sold.!!!!!
I have a tuscani and really want the make the rear lights more aggressive
Scottish Detailing all my first light work was on Tiburons 97-2008
There’s lots of aftermarket tails, but if you choose to go custom, prepare to cut!
@@flyryde Yeh course I have dremil and that were can I go about doing this
Really everything is great but because there are no products for honda accord, many people do not agree with me but I love my car and I would love to be able to put some of the items that you have
Great!
Only some problems:
Do you sell kits, or sent material list?
Please, put subtitles in portuguese, I’m very básico english and you talk Very quick
Friday reference...Classic
Hi, I'm infiniti FX first generation fan can you please do a devil eyes video please.. thanks
The clear lense are nice, were would i be able to find a set? Any link for that?
Nice job.. Very detailed video to get good knowledge. Could you please give an idea how to connect low/high beam togather and light them both in high or low beam.
a fresnel lens is supposed to make the light project forward
Got some practice with that card on the flat surface lol
In the heat of Arizona, I can’t trust 3m or double sided tape to hold my leds lol. Any ideas for a more permanent mount
Would be interested to see you guys do an angel eye demon eye setup for the ducati monster 🙄😜
Hi, any place where I can buy only the lens (glass) with the honeycomb model? Thank you!
Thcconcepts.com or search them up on IG thc_concepts
@@foggboi1928 thank you so much ❤️
you should use tesa tape instead of electrical. made for high heat areas as well as abrasion resistant
So this is just to light up the lense? I have Halos so they would be around the lens I can still have the demon eyes? I'm asking because our state has a law against colored headlights
From your experience , can you tell me which demoneyes is brighter between the Colormorph RGBW or the Profile prism RGB? I think the Profile Prism come with a reflector to help direct the light toward the front lens to make it more brighter, but is made to be installed on the top of the projector. I would like to mount a Profile Prism on the bottom of a Morimoto 4.0 projector, but am afraid the 9 leds on the board would be visible through the projector lens. One of the problems I see with demoneyes is the ability to be bright enough to see during the day.
what if you put one demon eye on the bottom and one on the top would it shine on the road and also have a blinder effect?
Look at the Genesis Coupe Headlight in the beginning. The demon eye has one of each. We did an Aston Martin last year with 2 demon eyes in each Projector. It was cool , but kinda seemed like a lot of extra effort for not much different of a look.
I just installed a bi xion bulb in my bi xion morimoto projectors. The funny part is my car is a h7 and the morimoto is a h1 so I did bem using h1 which isn't a big deal but finding a bi xion h1 is kind of hard but finally found a couple and ordered w pair but had them shipped to Chicago, I live in Arizona, and I wasn't and still am not if the ones I ordered come with a bi xion harnes. So I ordered a pair of 9007 that come with a harnes. Once it got here I looked and realized it's not that much work to get those working on my car. Sure enough I'm driving around wit 9007 bi xion in my h1 projectors that were installed in my stock h7 car.
Why would you not use an epoxy to secure your circuit board rather than double stick tape? My worries would be the heat effect on the tape and long term life of your installation. There are some epoxies by Devcon that are heat rated also.
You’re missing one monster piece of the puzzle my friend, one that only comes from experience. You’re assuming that the part you want to ultra secure in place is not going to have any issues ever, and that much like a diamond being set into a piece of jewelry, this little LED board is perfect and will never experience failure or need to be replaced.
Tape works great, it doesn’t all the sudden get tugged on by headlight gremlins inside the light, it’s secure yet replaceable, and it’s not messy. Practicality and efficiency my dude. Beats out overthinking and overbuilding all day every day 👌
dope! i would have liked to see the demon pointing down...just to see how bad it would look.
PANTYEATR1 check IG and use a hashtag to try to find someone who’s done lots of these. Super popular mod on the 370z 👍 you’ll probably be able to find an output pic.
@@flyryde To be honest got this mod on my Golf MK5, pointing downwards. After watching the video I really want to change things up. During day time the light is nowhere to be seen.
Would you be able to do a BMW M3 E92/93 headlight? it's a very difficult job with the OEM Adaptive headlight and the reflector headlight.
I'm sure you would get huge number of views. Keep up the good work. Cheers
Probably a silly question do you make custom headlights for people like can I hate to have you build me a set of custom headlights
Can you make a 3x5 led headlight? 4x6 wont work for me.
Another awesome video! Have you done very many projector retrofits? I know you usually just modify the existing projectors, but what about older cars without projectors and retrofitting them into it?
Peace Parts the Genesis Coupe light at the beginning had a MH1-7 retro in the high beams. As a business, retrofits are common, and dangerous. It’s my opinion that if you do this stuff on the side, you shouldn’t offer retrofits due to the time involved, as well as the massive potential downside if there’s ANYthing wrong with it after the build.
@@flyryde makes sense, good advice. I have a buddy that does it to every one of his vehicles but never made and sold them.
😂 I loved this video and your voice sound effects lol
Love your vids. I’m wanting to do this to my 370. I didn’t see any links accompanying the video. Where can I get the demon eyes leds and clear projector lenses? Thanks in advance.
I would put one on bottom and top cause at center it would be brighter. lol
Every year seems like newer cars get brighter and brighter
6:55 thats the igniter, not the ballast 😝, just messing with you man, I know you know the correct name, just sometimes we get mixed up with so many names for all the parts, love all your videos
Hello, you can replace electrical tape with heat shrink tubing.
Where did u score the etched lenses ?
Would love to see this done on the newer model 15+ WRX/STIs :)
Thanks !!
It was originally called street lights
Colored headlights. Usually illegal to use
Hi bro, u can post the link of the led "demon eyes"? thanks..
I have 2 questions.
I would like to get a lens like that with 300 etched on it. Could you tell me where to contact the company you used to do your honeycomb pattern. The 2nd question can and is it ok to change the light to and led light?
i have a 1999 eclipse rs with projectors can i get every thing to do the same for that car
Awesome instruction video. Would you be able retrofit projectors in a set 08 euro lights? There is aftermarket projectors ones but they are one piece instead of 2 piece and turns built in instead separate like stock.
Hey bro I got a Mazda3 that I would
Like to get my headlights and tail lights done
wow what a story god bless your family brother
Any idea for mazda cx7 2007 head, tail and fog light??
Nice work! Do you always recommend aiming the demon eyes from the bottom up when possible?
BZZKLAH Bowen if you can yeah, but that’s just my opinion. It’s harder, but the customer just wants a cool looking car that they can share on social media. Bottom mounted turns into better pics and video 👌
Gotcha. Thanks for the quick response you make great videos they have assisted me a lot on the retro fit I am working on for my Mustang.
Good vid man!
Would you happen to know the lens size on a 2019 subaru wrx premium? 3"?
Hey buddy you mentioned the focus st/rs lights have you ever opened up those headlights. I’m getting ready to tackle this, and I was wondering if you had any specific tips on that headlight
I know this is probably not common for u and it probably a bit to ordinary, but do u have any idea how to make vw polo 6n headlights cooler without changing them out for aftermarket ones.
Thank you in advance
Is there something like this for Golf MK7.5?
I have a question and I need your advice please, I have 2011 Chevrolet Cruze and planning to install LED projectors but I do not know if that will create any electric issues or any errors. Kindly advice me on this. Thanks.
What's that liquid you dip the wires into after you squirt flux on it?
So how do I get that glas/plastic off in the best way? And is there a link to the stuff in this video?
Can you make etched projector lenses for my 2015 mustang?
Need to learn how to do it
