I was afraid of doing ccfls and led strip would be overkill... but it looks pretty nice. Hey post up some pics of the complete look on the car when you get the chance.

Once again, fantastic work JnC!

That indeed was the first place I tried the LEDs, but there isnt enough clearance in the back (right where the turn signal corner is) and also the LED strip is a tad too thick to be installed on to the bar or through the bar by dremeling the plastic out.

are no amber reflectors illegal in ca? i've been looking around and all i know is your turn signal must flash amber, but switchbacks will take care of that.. how about the reflector though

Updated list

04-05

BoBByLiGhT83-- Blacked out
usaf2008: Cleared
Timb24:-- Blacked out V2
click1d: -- Blacked out/Cleared + LED
flip_side -- Blacked out v2 w/ type-s clear defuser + black painted corners (by default, unpainted fog light nipple)
Yungwallstreet08-- Color matched AM, CF
Mysteriousbwoy
meranus23-- Blacked out

07-08 base

VillaWX3-- Cleared/LED DONE

I did get a set back in from another member but one of the top tabs is broken, if any one of you guys want a set at a discounted price for trade in then PM me, I am willing to knock off $30 or so from my labor. Passenger side has a broken tab.

Otherwise, I'll be getting at least 2 sets in this week so the next two people would be taken care off.

what do you mean when you say broken tab? this wont result in any moisture getting into the headlight would it?

No, the tab has nothing to do with the seal of the headlight. Headlight still is fully functional and will be mounted without any difficulty onto the body.

I dont have the picture here with me but here is a picture showing which tab is broken, its the one that is circled and its broken off right where the yellow line is.

Hey check out how much of a n00b I am, check it out,,,,here it comes.....

Ive been reading this post and from what I gather even though I dont know %100 of what we are talking about, I want it. From what I gather, its a mod for my 04 headlights. So 1. can someone give the Cliff Notes version of what he will do for me if I send him my lights and 2. I really need to see a picture of one completed

Ok now be gentle!!!!

1. Read the first post. He can basically do whatever you want him to do. Most people "clear" or remove the amber diffuser piece and color match the housing to the color of their TL. He can also swap out the lenses with better quality ones. He can also add the "angel eyes" or a LED strip.
2. This thread has 17 pages of pictures.

JnC, shot compressed air thru my headlights with both the turn and fog bulbs out... no dice. Still a ton of dust.

I'll be the nice guy or 2nd nice guy, that shows you a good example of what he's doing. Some of the pic links are dead but if you compare your stock lights to this should give you an indication of what to expect.
