Complete headlight make over

Complete headlight make over
ok so im doing an entire head light make over...
i have an 04 TL/nav
clearing the head light lens
then im putting in switch back xenon white and amber LEDs for the blinker 7443
then im putting in 9006 xenon white LEDs for the fog lights to get rid of the DRL look of the fog (yellowish skin tone) and on top of all that im putting in 4 Umnitza xenon white angel eyes inside the head light assembly
and i already have two 12 inch strip LEDs wired to run when the car turns on like the mercedes/audi LED strips that run without the head lights, then since my car is 7 years old im going to replace the stock HIDs since they are faded with the sylvania version of the phillips OEM, i was wondering if anyone had comments, questions, or if anyone wanted pics? maybe some advice since i havent opened my headlights before? thanks

Post up some before and after pictures
I've only opened up my headlights once and it turned into a bigger project than I thought it would be. Just take your time and don't lose any parts you take off of the car.

I would def upgrade to a ZKW or ZKW-R replica lens.
One of the best subtle mods I've done.
I've got nice light output with ZKW-R lens and genuine 85122+ Philips bulbs.

Sounds interesting...def post some before and after pics.
In regards to your HID D2S bulbs your replacing...go OSRAM CBI or Philips ColorMatch. Those are some top notch bulbs. Kinda difficult to get in the States but it can be done...I have the CBI's. Cost me a little over $200, but they can be had for as low as $180 with group-buys and what not. From what I understand they're brighter with 3400 lumens compared to 3100 or 3200 lumens in the OEM bulbs. All acheived while also having a higher color rating of 5000 kelvin. I sound like an OSRAM sales rep...ha. Honestly tho they are some wicked bulbs. I continuously hear good things about them.
Good luck man...
