be sure to mask out the chrome backing of the signals and use the OEM butyl to reseal the headlight, if opened with care, you can seal that sucker back up without condensation issues.

i am redoing mine because i blacked out the turn signals and doesn't throw enough light

mine are at the shop right now getting the turn signals painted NGM, rest of it glossy black - woot woot its going to look unique

yea I made sure I didnt paint all my corners, I personally dont like them all black, I dont think it flows well with the headlights chromed. well that was before this



I am in the works for a v.2 with custom LEDs as turn signals. Man hope I dont fuck them up.

im wondering how mine are going to look, with body color matching turn signals and blacked out housing. ill find out 2maro.

fobstylez, the projectors on the low beams really update the cars look. how much work is it to get that installed? im thinking about it since all my stuff is apart right now.

If you don't want to DIY you can send them to JnC. He is the headlight guy around here but he charges a price for it. He is in the 3rd gen section if you are interested.

really? thats gonna be interesting, cant wait to see how that looks

fobstylez: what you have are like the same as the Aspecs with the whole turn signal area left chrome. I only have the back reflectors left chrome:

clean retro, how did you get your shrouds to stay on? Honestly, that was the most time consuming part of the retro for me was to cut the shroud and manage to get it to stay. Retrofit forums never talks about how they would get the shrouds to stay on. Are those e46 shrouds?

yep yep, they should be finished today. then i have to put everything back together. ill take pics when its done.

Thin circle of epoxy around the outer edge of the projector, the top of the shroud was also cut slightly. yeah, replica e46 shrouds.

Awesome!
