Mine were DIY'ed. I painted them flat black. The black chrome looks sick!

My mom still drives the TL but with regular OEM headlights. I planned on trading the car in and brought it back to stock. I realized the loss I would take trading it in and gave it to my mom instead since her car was shot (Old BMW). I traded my black headlights with custom mounted bi-xenon projectors with James (962.5TL - Purple TL) for his OEMs.

You know,
I was thinking too.
Maybe he is making them from the regular headlamps.
We could use a black die and paint only the affecte part with a thin layer so that
the chrome can still be transparent. I dont know, just a theory.
I would try this but too lazy to go through it.

If you GIVE me your old headlights, I won't outbid you at the last minute. SOO anxious to do this but I don't want to take the chance to wreck mine.

for all you guys that bid and end up losing at the last minute, ever tried using an auction sniper tool? do some research on the net and you'll know what i mean. i never lost an auction using it!

also, why do you guys bid soooo early in the auction, like 2-4 days before it ends? it only inflates the price and puts pressure on other pple to out bid you...

It might feel like a scumbag move, but always bid at the last minute of the auction. Don't try to outbid them by five dollars. Bid the maximum amount you're filling to pay for the item. Let's say the auctions is at $300.00. The current highest bidder might have bet up to $350.00. If you try to win by bidding $305.00, the computer will automatically outbid you over and over again until you exceed $350.00. The problem is you dont know how much he bid. So if the auction is at $300.00 and its the final minute, bid the most you'd be willing to pay for the lights, $400.00 for example, you would win the auction for $355.00 (assuming his highest bid was $350.00)
