Thanks JnC for posting this pic for me! Still don't have permission rights yet so I will send you the rest that I took with my point and shoot so you can post. The one above was taken with the wifes HTC hero camera phone. Not bad, but I wish I had a high res camera so people can get an "in person" visual.

JnC is great to work with and his work speaks for itself! No lie...this guy is a perfectionist and really cars about his work and also that you are a happy customer. I'm very pleased with the turnout! If anyone is nervous about sending him the lights, don't be.

I want to thank Petec2010 and Buckvegas for their advice. I really appreciate it! You guys really contribute to this forum.

Pete2010

buckvegas

Awesome, awesome job! Another very satisfied customer! I can't wait to get these mounted. Too bad I'm on a business trip in Idaho until the 25th! (you can believe they will get mounted a few hours after my flight lands!)

Notice how you can see the amber turn signal bulb in the tails, best way to rid it is by replacing it with a chrome coated turn signal bulb. Chrome when not lit to give a clean look yet completely legal as they shine amber when lit, get yourself a pair before you install the lights.

Here is an ebay link for your application

Jnc I have a 09 girgo shawd have u or ru planning on doing a color match on a girgo car?
I am from canada and would love to have both my headlights and tails tinted like the pictures of the last tails u posted.. Please let me know thanks..

rcopeland2001

Nice work JnC on the above headlights and tails! I'm ready to color match my tails like my headlights when you are!

JnC

Headlights/tail lights have been delivered Gotta wait till the 25th, I guess?

Well, I havent done that color yet but shouldnt be an issue as all I need is the color code to have the body shop paint all the parts.


Down time will be a week for both headlights/tail lights plus transit time. To anyone thinking about color matching kindly keep in mind that its best to get both headlights and tail lights done at the same time to save body shop expense. Last set I got done was for Rcoplend and bodyshop charged us $80 for the front lights alone, I am sure if I had the tails with me at the time then the labor/cost wouldnt have been a lot more than $80 as the body shop mixes $50's worth of paint every time for each product and its more than enough for headlights and tail lights.




I am ready, just waiting on someone to get PMM color matched headlights as we discussed

SSGHutch

I'll install the lights on the 25th. If there is enough daylight left, (gotta few things to do that day) then I will take and post pics. In all honesty, I don't expect to post pics until the 26th so I can give it a quick wash.

SSGHutch

Here are a few quick pics of the heads and tails installed. It was raining and my car is dirty, so sorry about the picture quality. I will post more once I detail the ride. JnC does QUALITY work!

I really wanted to see the parking lights in action to see how much output you loose ,since the chrome surface is painted glossy black, and honestly it seems just as bright as stock

JnC

iTrader: (12)

By the way watch for the drop ceiling Seems like its ready to drop on the TL.

SSGHutch

It was a very good call on the chrome signals. I have blue tinted chrome in the front and chrome in the rear. They both seem a bit brighter than stock. They are working on that ceiling BTW...

GunnerX

HOT!! Great job on those JnC.

JnC

Spot the difference.

BigBunks

^ nope. please inform me

rcopeland2001

Is the DRL gone or painted?? It looks like the horizontal bar directly above the 7 ridges is painted as well!

SSGHutch

The DRL reflector is painted high gloss black. I assume you got the idea from the near-fctory reflection of my turn signals?

JnC

iTrader: (12)

Yes and no . After looking at blacked out headlights installed on the 4G I have noticed that all the chrome in the DRL/Hi beam opening sort of overwhelmed the headlights and front. This is just a minor tweak but it makes a huge difference IMO. All I have done is painted the bottom piece of the DRL reflector black, this is the nonfunctional reflective surface, the DRL/Hi beam still is fully functional and will reflect as much light as it did before.

Even though it was a pain to mask everything off just to paint that little area but I think it was worth it .
