x2......and are u doin them urself or is sumonelse doin them for u?...jus wonderin becuz i was thinkin of doin this but im afraid to f* up my headlights which arent cheap to replace....

 

its not the headlights u gotta worry about f'n up...its not sealing them properly and then your ballasts/ignitors goin bad on the HIDs which arent cheap to replace

 

no im not doing them myself lol... someone else is doing it for me someone who's very good at it he's been doing it for a long time im getting my switchback led bulbs tomorrow

 

don't sound bad i'm gonna let him know i'm just waiting on m switchback led bulbs for my turning signal. That sounds hot

 

anyone here has them cleared out and body color on their TL if so PICX pleaseeeeeeeeeeee

 

where would you guys recommend to get the paint color matched?

 

where u from....

 

SoCal.

Has anyone had any success with an online vendor?

 

paintscratch.com

 

Tower paints online
Or..

Check with your local auto PAINTS store, (not parts) they can mix up your paint code for you and give you what you need. Many will put it in a spray can for you. Or you could buy the raw material and get one of these (below, found at home depots and paint stores) and spray it with it. (just ask them to reduce it for you)

I've been wondering what the switchback LEDs would look like in a 2nd Gen

 

it looks HOT trust me i tried them already but took them off.... but when i have the parking light on it look like i have H.I.D in my parking lights, i was planning on getting h.i.d on my parking lights but umm i thought about it twice so i went with the switchback as soon as i do it i'll post a video up so you could see them

 

update just got my car back from da shop.... because i had to get my back bumper re-painted so the guy who suppose to clear my headlights is very busy and yes im gonna paint it the same color as the car i got my grill painted ssm as well i will post up pictures tomorrow is real nasty outside
