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.
Don't worry about it..

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

http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Control/P...id/0/SFV/32481

^^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

Dont need to send the switchback to JnC, all you do is pull out the turn signal plug, pull out old bulb and insert LED. Twist plug back in and you're good to go.

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

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.
Thanks JNC,
I would like
Color matched AM/carbon fiber accent added.

One question is that cleared already. And im adding switch backs, s will that give it the blue color when the parking ligts are on?

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.

^^ I like that look, instead of painting the defuser black as some people do .

Took care of you since you took care of me by selling me two sets of headlights when I first started doing this

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.

I can respect that, and appreciate it my cost was $117 just so you know...
& I know it's not your fault it's taking longer...people just need to hurry and install their lights and ship the old ones back
