BTW another idea I am exploring is replacing the chrome strip in the side reflector with the LED strip

what do you guys think? again its just an idea right now, I would much rather have the strip of LEDs rather than the halos due to dependability issues with the Halos.

Picture borrowed from a fellow member at HIDplanet.

I think that LED strip option is definitely something to explore. Much like the Audi R8, which is definitely sex on wheels. Are you still accepting people on the list for cleared out/blacked out w/ trade in? I have a 2005 NBP TL. Let me know. Thanks.

Patience my friend .

To people who are interested in getting the headlights done, I am sorry to state that I am not adding any more names to the list but once the group buy is over I might become a vendor again for the services

ahhh, I am in no rush its just the people in line that I am worried about.

I did get the other set from crazyfresh back, acurachic is next in line but her paint and halos arent in yet so I'll try to get the next person out of the way in the meanwhile.

Horrible pics via my BB, but I will take better ones in a day or so:




Also did my type-s tails at the same time!


I will try to get them out today, but work is not cooperating and I need to wrap them up nice and tight. So it will probably go out tommorrow.

Special thanks to deltaboxxx for the helping hand

JNC, I want a cleared set of headlights. I know you said you don't want to add anymore names to the list, but I really want them and will pay what it takes for them. I would have to do a core charge trade, but I have money available now. I understand you have others you need to do, but could you add me to the list? I can paypal you money or whatever way you want to do it. email me at homer078@gmail.com if you want to work something out.

Ok just got an update from Jokernum that the base model 07-08 headlights have different turn signals than the Type S model headlights. This means that the 07-08 headlights I have wont fit the Type S so unless the Type S 08 guys can send their headlights in for clearing etc we are stuck .

I'll have jokernum ship the 08 base modified headlights, pictured on page 6, shipped to the next guy in line with 07-08 base.

Angry Wtf?

I don't get it.....both the 07-08 TL and the Type-S are suppose to accept the same bulbs correct? Well, here is the bulb from the 07 Type-S resting on top of the hole of the headlight from an 08 TL. Bulb is too big for the hole.......much less the socket. The socket on the Type-S will not clip onto the TL headlights because the hole is too small.
