I love how they look off! Great job!

Not sure how I feel about the LEDs.

Def unique. thank you for showing us your pictures of the mod!!

I noticed that the RL headlights in general don't really reflect/disperse light that well. Can't figure out the right words to explain it but the angle of lens doesn't seem to be configured correctly.

Thanks for the compliments.
@ Diablo I totally agree with you. The output I light sucks even with HID fogs. I can hardly see the road at times

I'll to give you credit for been creative, however I'm not feeling the halo led's. I think you did great on painting the inner in glossy black. It would be nice to see daytime and closer pictures. At the end of the day if you're happy that's what matter.

looks great. hopefully the LED's hold up well to the heat inside the headlights. the RL has great output with the correct modifications

I kinda like 'em, they remind me ALOT of the old Infiniti Q45 headlights when the lowbeams are on.

Hi All,
New joiner here.
I have a Honda Legend 2007 (UK) which I believe is the European name for the Acura RL....is this correct.
Naturally the car is Left Hand Drive. However I spend a lot of time on the European mainland and would like to fit the correct light units when there.
Does anyone know some good sites to get second hand units?

Looks really good. Your Low beam and fogs match perfectly. What brand are they? And what are the color temperature?

Those look awfully white to be 6000K. You sure they aren't 5000K?

I think it just looks like that in the pics. In person, they have more of a blueish tint

how much did it cost to do the headlights and where did you get it done?

i like the black grill on your white car. i wonder how that would look on other colors though? some mods look good on lighter colored cars, while they may not look good on dark cars... on yours.. it works!!

Thought about that as well but I want the blinkers to show fully from the front so I might add orange/yellowish LEDs where the blinkers are originally located

Cost me $1600 for the headlights and it was well worth it. I love them but I'm also kinda missing the stock look. I may do a trade with my friend for his stock plus $1000. Idk.
I got them done @ 180custom in Brooklyn. They said they don't plan to work on RL headlights because it was a bytch to get done compared to the TLs and Inginiti G's they are used to working on

Anything is possible with money. I'm sure if anyone walks in with couple benjamins they will do another set.
