Place that blacks out headlights?

So I just got in a little fender bender which smashed one of my blacked out headlights. I now need to replace it. Does anybody know of a place where I can send a headlight to get blacked out for me?

I know Bruce does at Endlessrpm.com - I think there is another vendor but not sure if they are still around - JnC or something.

lee- send Bruce a message.

Edit- you can also send JnC a message as well. He is a vendor.

AckTL05 aka Bruce

JnC's no longer a vendor, and he also was banned too.
Admin left a message on his thread which got locked that it will reopen once he becomes a vendor again, but I don't know how it's possible for him to come back and become a vendor while he's banned.

I don't recall ex-vendors becoming banned. Usually they're just downgraded to "Former Sponsor".
Admin error or no? Just thinking out loud, JnC did top quality work and it would be a shame for him to be banished by accident.

I was confused as Ron A said he will open up JnC's thread again once he becomes a vendor (which implies he's welcome to be a vendor again), yet he got banned (which means he can't log in to become a vendor again?).

This makes me conclude that he was accidentally banned.

Guess JnC must have looked in the candle lit bathroom mirror with the door locked while saying "Ron A Ron A Ron A". I hear this makes Ron A come out of the mirror and ban you instantly.

Glad he got released from the asylum though, his works seems stellar.

As the above have mentioned Bruce does great work - EndlessRPM. Another guy i would check out is Arora Customs on Facebook - i know the guy Ross Beckner - does great work also! either way both Bruce and Ross also will give great assistance for those wanting to DIY it - I had alot of advice from Ross with my own headlight modding - great resources if you make the attempt to do it solo...
Here is a shot of my before and after - blacked them out, removed the amber diffuser, and replaced with smoked diffusers, replaced the fresnel lens with a zkw-r lens, and painted the chrome strip and bezels purple...

One of my buddies in Toronto also does headlight/taillight work. His IG is story.customz, here he is story05 (AcuraZine Community - View Profile: story.customz)

I went to him 3 times for light work on my TSX and TL now. Check out his IG https://instagram.com/story.customz/

I heard somewhere that Oneighty in NY is pretty good too. Been sending them emails and they seem to know their stuff.
