^^ Can you send your headlights in ? If so then yes, I can black them out since my 07-08 pair is tied up and isnt available for the trade in program. BTW this is how they look on the car , pictures courtesy cKhyper.

I thought I sent you a PM, I could be wrong.

ZKWs go for $80
CCFLs go for $110

I dont charge to install either one of those.

My labor

Just cleared: $125
Blacked out: $150

Trade in service charge: $25


I am located in zip 01730, so shipping quote would be for a box of headlights weighing 20 pounds.

Depending on the lens it might need to be spaced using spacers.

Well, I was next on the list but I already shipped my Canadian headlights down so I guess you can skip me.
JNC, did you receive my lights yet?

What do you mean by spacers? Like teflon washers? Wheres the fitment issue? Diameter? Sorry I'm just curious

I think I'm gonna buy some on eBay tomorrow. Is there a difference between sellers? Are some "better" than others?

ML˛'s headlights!

Blacked out using hi gloss paint.
CCFLs
ZKW replica lenses


The front lens was in VERY rough condition when I first got it, seemed like it had some sort of glue residue left from protective film such as rockblocker etc . I spent some time resurfacing it using only special polishes rather than any sand paper.

This is how the lens was when I got the headlights.









this is how the headlights look now

^^^^^ Great job JnC on this lights
you really did your majic
I hope you do your majic on mine I had them ship today.
This is little of topic what you think this lights as turn signal
Thank you kennedy for this info

See how fast the technology moves...

Recent update from Rockyfeller as of today:


For the turn signals - Switchbacks:
another option for those who want white running lights and at the same time have amber turn signals in a single dual circuit led bulb... in a PnP version:
(the old version required dremeling your headlight housing, and had a kind of a purple hue to it due to the high flux white 3mm leds used)

melvin2816's blacked out 07 headlights!

Got these headlights from member melvin2816 a few days ago, headlights were in bad condition with the outer DRL bezel melted in one the headlights and the silicone channel all messed up. Seems like someone was practicing torture technique on these headlights with a screwdriver. I had to mend the back for a crack, refinish the front lens due to heavy scratches and wash all the internals since there was mud in both headlights and the projectors.

some before pictures















Pictures of Finished product

Since the outer DRL bezel was beyond repair I had to come up with something to make it look aesthetically pleasing. I took the normally clear inner bezel and painted part of it black and most of it silver.

Find someone who is looking for color matched headlights, swap yours with theirs and send their headlights to me and we can redo a set for you. Some CCFLs, clear lenses, some Carbon Fiber etc etc.
