HQTL6SPD headlights

Jav sent his headlights in for work, one of them was badly damaged due to a fender bender and both headlights had glue residue on them left behind from the protective film that was on at some point. I resurfaced both lenses using polishes only rather than sand paper etc.

04-05 painted V2
Paint is Duplicolor metal cast
left the amber defuser in place
The turn signal reflector is painted partially black to give the turn signal a smoked out look.

New paint option; Black Pearl

So you have

1) Flat Black
2) Glossy Black
3) Black Pearl

3 Base Coats of glossy black followed by 2 of Pearl plus 2 of Clear.The color is sort of like Acura's NBP but with more pearl.

Blacked out price for black pearl would be $175 rather than $150 which it normally is for flat black or glossy black.

Here are a few pictures of what it would look like, note that only the middle bezel is painted using the Black pearl paint process.

^^ LEDs burning out after a few weeks. Some people havent had any problems but there have been enough complaints for me to contemplate and eventually decide not to offer the LED install .


I am looking for alternatives and may eventually offer it again if I find something more durable.

AnthraciteAspec's headlights

Member AnthraciteAspec sent his headlights in for some work day before yesterday, front lenses were in bad condition. I wet sanded them with very fine sand paper and then polished them using different polishes.

04-05 TL headlights
Blacked out V2
Clear diffusers from Type S headlights.

Are the headlights you did for AnthraciteAspec blacked out under the diffuser or is it still reflective?

The reflector is partially blacked out. Here is pictorial to show how it looks all chrome and how it looks when partially blacked out.

Where are you located? Which Year TL do you have? Can you send your headlights in for the work ?

You can email me at rook786(at)aol(dot)com since you cant PM right now due to low post count.

You just need to find that clear diffuser, that is the hardest part. The rest of it JNC does all day everyday.

There are few things you can do, you can swap the foggy projector lenses with clear ones from S2000 projectors and swap the osram stock bulbs with philips 85122+ bulbs.

Or

You can swap the projector with an S2000 projectors for the ultimate low beam along with the bulbs.

You can do it either way, most people wire it to the parking lights I believe.

Hey JnC,

I'm new on AZ and my sole purpose of joining was to get in contact with you regarding clearing out my headlights. I would PM you but I can't figure this shit out, lol. I have an 04 TL and would be interested in your Trade-in Program I've read about if it is still an option. I think what you're doing is awesome and your work looks great, but before I commit I wanted to ask you a few questions preferably over the phone. Whenever you get a chance could you PM me? If that doesn't work I guess just reply to the thread. Thanks alot.

(sorry everyone else for interupting)
