Whats the price on these minus the CF overlays but adding led strips. I'm wondering if you have the strips brighter and in a tighter cluster (more like the oem ones rather than the aftermarket ones you can get at pepboys) in a manner as below:

Picture request for lights on black TLs

Does anyone have pictures of the following lights installed on black or dark colored TLs?

First one is blacked-out with the chrome stripe painted black. Second one is all clear.
Third one is blacked out.
These all have clear reflectors mounted in the clear diffusers.

When you sand the headlights your removing the UV protectant. Headlight kits come with a UV layer to put on but there not as good as oem.

Use this: http://www.autogeek.net/optimum-opti...t-coating.html

I used it when I sanded and buffed my headlights 9 months ago, and they still look good as new. No sign of yellowing.

The reason your headlights turn yellow again after you restore them is because sanding them removes all of the factory UV coating. That "lens protectant" stuff you get in the 3m kits is little more than basic car wax, and hence, it does nothing. Jet Seal is a non-permanent aerospace based polymer designed to prevent metal corrosion, no provide UV protection. Opti-Lens on the other hand, is actually a permanent urethane coating with UV inhibitors.

I'm definitely a bigger fan of the diffused strip as opposed to individual leds. Looking forward to seeing how it looks on the car.

Nice, I would just have to ensure they stay on all the time...I don't like how it is when OFF during the day!

Interested in the outcome though

Excellent...on one hand I feel it looks odd, but then from the front, it really does look like all the new tube style LED's we're seeing on new cars so it modernizes it. Overall, very well done!

I think we need to see them without any side markers on for the true effect. Do they replace the DRL?

IIRC Elegant has a TL without DRL...they're probably on with parking lights.

That's pretty legit, but the redundant amber/white it just a lot when it comes to turn signaling.
I would run either the switchback bulbs or LED strip, but not both.

I hate you for those AP1 headlights...
I have the light yellow haze in certain lighting, I might send them in one day to have you do your miracle UV treatment on them. Not even sure I'd want to dump the amber.

Fantastic as always...saved your number.

I had my headlights done and I'm not happy with them. JNC, what are my options for cleaning them up? I have another vehicle so I can send these to you.
