can you post a picture request like the bmw
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/White...mZ380065248859
if you see the angel eye ring is on the ouside of the projector not the inside where the silver housing is, can you post a picture of how it would look on the outside of it instead of the inside i think it may turn out to look better bc its bigger like bmw's, also the red angel eye's have a full circle what brand is he using jnc? i think it looks bigger then the other onces and looks pretty good, intead of putting the angel eye on top of the silver housing of the projector will it fit on the outside? if so could you do an example picture?

The TL headlight is very narrow if you notice and the ONLY ring that fits it best is the Umnitza 3/4 ring that I have been using. The set that I used for Msala's (red rings) was a full circle and it was a major Pain in the rare end to install. I literally had to shave the upper part of the front lens and shrouding to make it fit and even when installed you can not see the whole circle due to it bulging upwards.

Hey all,
Im pretty new to this forum. I've been following this thread and I'm pretty interested in the blacked-out headlights and the led strip. JnC, I was wondering if I could email you to get more information.
thanks

Sorry about that, totally forgot about your PM due to the fact the subject had read bulbs rather than headlights.

04-05 Blacked out v2 w/ clear type-s defuser and black painted corners + default unpainted foglight nipple.
For the switchbacks could I send them directly to you? or would I have them shipped to me then I'd send them back to you

^^I think those are right...
and how would this look. painted blacked behind the defuser. would that add a smoked look?
how would I hide the look of a switchback similar to this

im just making sure those are the right bulbs as well..if agent0r is right that I can install the switchbacks after i get the headlights, and if my switchbacks would be as stealthy as the pic i posted
http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/1086/dsc01119zn7.jpg
and what the headlights would look like with the blacked out chrome part behind the clear defuser.. whether it would add a nice smoked look.
thanks jnc for your reply in advance

FINALLY have a proper Type S set available for trade in. First set is blacked out V2. Who ever wants it can have it for $125 and I'll waive the trade in fee. Pictures will be up within the next couple of days.

Replied.
Cost depends on what you decide to go with i.e. halos, blacked out/cleared etc and also if you want to send your headlights in or want to do the trade in program, LMK if you have questions on where to get the parts on your mods.
VillaWX3, Yungwallstreet08, Mysteriousbwoy I have added the three of you to the list. Kindly state what you want done to your headlights.

Trade in option!
The trade in option is a blessing for most people here on the board, granted I charge $25 for every time someone opts for it but kindly realize that I have sunk in around $4k in about 6 sets of 04-05 headlights, two sets of 06 headlights, two of 07-08 base and one of type S headlights.
I have had instances where people get their headlights and let them sit in the garage for weeks before installing them while I plea to have their old ones shipped back to me. From here on onwards, to save me and the waiting members hassle, I'll be checking with people to see if their schedule is clear and if they can install the headlights when they get them and send their old ones back ASAP, if they cant then I'd have to give the next person in line the turn until the previous member's schedule opens.
Old headlights should be back in the mail within 7 days after members get the modified set
Again, this is a request to be courteous towards other members on the list, I know for instance that black0ut has been waiting for ages.

Trying to sell your CCFLs at the same price as you paid for them rather than having you sell them yourself at reduced price = discount.
I apologize for the delay but understand this that I try my best to have headlights done/shipped.
GTkim, I looked through my PMs and cant find yours, can you forward it again?

Switchback bulb info
I know there is a dedicated thread for LEDs but I have been asked this question a few times so here is the answer.
For 04-06 models and 07-08 models you guys need bulb type 7443 switch backs
Switch backs --> http://autolumination.com/7443_7440.htm
Click the above link and scroll down the page and following is what you need
And yes to have the blinkers blink at the normal rate you would need the LED load resistors, you can buy them from the following link
Resistors----> http://autolumination.com/equalizers.htm
Again, scroll down the page and look for the following
You do not need to send these to me, the bulbs are plug and play and resistor install is piece of cake as well.
