Good job on the tinting.

yea these projector fogs i have now are 60mm tall.... the smallest ones ive found were 56mm tall....not too much of a big difference..but ive figured out how to do it to get them flush in the inserts ...so now im waiting on my new set of lights to arrive then get rid of my old ones.... cant return the old ones either...oh well....

hey noah, i should be getting my inserts today!...finally..but now i have to wait for my new fogs..theyre already on the way too...so hopefully by mid week i receive them all

are you looking for roadlamps or inserts? i just got rid of my roadlamps on here to someone on here. i just purchased inserts...waiting on my fogs to arrive then im going to do a reinstallation with my new fogs...will be custom fitting it to my 03 inserts... it was a bitch to get a hold of the inserts from acura dealerships..out everywhere... had to wait for them to order and ship... and one side costs like 3x more then the other side...

anthracite, its lookin good. i like it. (i might have kept the bezel black, just to make them "stand out" a bit more but it looks like good work)

i've been toying with the idea of messing with my roadlamps...or doing this. need more light output.
