I foun some good pics I'll upload them in a little bit for you. I should have mine on in a few weeks along with a new front bumper, the front bumper and front lip repainted, and the side skirt repainted. A traffic come flew off a truck and took out my front end and side skirt

Thank Man

I got me a set OEM headlight an already tooked apart now going sand down chrome an then get ready to paint Flat black. Just wondering how it would look with the corner blackout. I keep thinking too much blackout

Stephen00TL

that is exactly what I was afraid of my self so i'm going to have mine done like this, obviously i wont have a clear diffuser. Its only got the chrome in the far back of the corner light everything else around and in front is black. That way you get the best of both.

Stephen00TL

I was going to do mine like this but IMO its to much black so I decided to go with what I posted above.

I was looking for them ebay headlight you post, just could find them.

I will post pic later today of my finish product. I thinking going for JDM look.

Stephen00TL

I was too but couldn't find any in good shape. Also the Jdm lights keep the orange reflector in but I don't like the way it looks with the orange reflector. I wish we could find a clear diffuser to put in there.

just finished, ill post some on car pics in a little bit

Stephen00TL

Looks good can't wait to see the finished project. I thought about doing projectors but I like the clean simple look of just the regular headlights

THK for pic of your retrofit headlights

Now i can get a better idea of how corner look like when it been blackout.

I been thinking about just retrofit my low beam like UA3. I havn't seen anyone done this to 2G TL

my240sx4u

drivers' side wasnt aimed in that pic

Stephen00TL

Thanks now I have an idea of how it will look on my car since I have the same color.

my240sx4u

no problem, i really like them, i should have went ahead and yellow'd my hi beams as they will be fogs now, because the projectors are bixenon, but o well

Not done yet... Still working on clear corner an will be blackout low beam area.
Stephen00TL i may have figure how to make my own clear corner. I will hook you up if it work

Thinking should i do double retrofit now

my240sx4u

nice retro, what projectors u using for the high beam? you need to do a quad retro tho, looks kinda weird...

Stephen00TL

Those are the Jdm headlights I can tell by the way te low beams are and the city lights. Did you find a set or pull that picture from somewhere. My headlights should be done in a few days and then my car goes to the body shop. I'm sure they will look when completed, I'll post pics when the cars back together.

Look what i found... from OntarioTL
Hard to tell how his high beam look like...

Sorry bro just regular TL headlights just haven't put back clear lens that go over it. I was thinking i can drill hole there an make it look JDM

Stephen00TL

Oh ok lol, it looks good nobody would be able to figure it out. I think the dual projectors would look nice. I saw the headlights above and was considering buying them from him when he put them up for sale. I ended up buying something else instead though. Now I have just decided to do black housing headlights.

Here pic with lens on an no flash...
Thinking i'm only going to blackout the high beam area an look for black Shrouds centric rings for now.

Stephen00TL

Cool it's going to look good when it's finished.

my240sx4u

lights will look good when finished, i would do some kinda of shroud tho, they look odd with no shroud, they almost look like DC2 stock projectors.....what kind are they i would like to do some quad retro's also

Does anyone know where I could buy a clear corner diffuser/lense for the 99-01 tl headlights? I heard they used to sell them in the past but that company doesn't make them anymore..

Stephen00TL

I've searched for days trying to find one. They don't exist anymore since it looks like the company stopped making them awhile ago.

Stephen00TL

Something else was brought to my attention, what I'd we smoke the amber reflector dark enough that you can't really see the orange.

Es617

you can use night shades for it the same stuff used to black out the tail lights since light doesnt really shine through the deflector it should work. I tryed cutting the refelctor off of a old clear corner i had but it was too short

Stephen00TL

Yeah I think that is what it was. Alot of 3rd gen and 4th gen people have been doing it to there cars

Stephen00TL

I'm going sanjeev the reflector smoked dark and leave it in the headlights I'll post pics of how it looks once its done.
