Personally, I think dark cars can pull off the "matching exterior" housing look. On light cars, they don't look as good, that why i decided to go gunmetal instead of matching my NGM.

oh yeah, i've seen a white honda fit with white housings, doesnt look too pretty, should just stay with black housings.

Well the Headlights look good. When they go on the car that's when we really can post comments on how they look. I wanted to do that to my headlights, but I didn't think they would look good on my TW TL so I decided to just clear the headlights instead.

Yeah I'm interested in seeing this when it is done too.

After doing the lexan fog conversion messing with more lights hasn't even been on my mind at all.

Quick question. To get to the bulbs/headlights.. do you have to take out the battery and intake box on the driver side? I will be ordering HIDs soon and i took a look under the hood yesterday and it looks like a lot of work to just replace the bulbs lol.

Sorry for changing subjects. I still can't wait to see them on!

looks good.. my only complaint is that the white doesnt seem to look the same.. do it in WDP and it would be perfect... unless its just the lens making it look discoloured... seems a lil yellowish?

Better than I expected to be honest. It gives it a more aggressive look, especially with the body kit.

It looks okay, maybe if you left the orange reflector in, it wouldnt look too plain, props for originality tho.

for being a trend-breaker.

Not my cup of tea, but it definitely does make your TL stand out.

Doesn't look bad. Think it would've been cooler if the turn signal + indicator housing was left chrome.

Great work dude. Get some close up shots.

i think the only reason it looks "off" is becouse there is no border between the white and crome bulb are. maybee if youpainted a black outline. not sure how it would look but who knows . other than that props for being brave enogh to take apart ur headlight housing

Hmmmmmmmm...... I'm not sure what it is but it feels like there is something missing. It look like it should look great, but something is just a little off about it and I can't put my finger on it........



ok I think what it is is that the paint is too flat. If it were to match the car then it would look fine. It almost seems like you just bought some replacement headlights and didn't have the money/time to get them painted.
