I'll be posting up pics tonight. JnC, you must have a really good camera to get those quality of pics with the CCFLs on. I'm trying to get some night shots and my camera just doesn't have the correct options. Luckily I have a polarized filter for my camcorder. I just hold that over the front lense of the camera and got much better results.

Btw, did you get my old lights ok?

You should see them on the car! You'll definitely like them once you get it done. I promised pics tonight but got busy prepping my island and counter for granite tops to be put in tomorrow. However I promised pics so here is a teaser.





I'll get the rest of the pics posted in the thread for my car tomorrow.

So this is what I'm thinking of...
Cleared, w/Carbon Fiber accent, Zkw lenses, and Angel Eyes

How much exactly, when, and how do we go about exchanging lights and payment?

Does anyone know which CCFL rings we need to buy for this(i only see the tsx on the umnitza site)? How hard would it be to install the headlights myself? Or if anyone knows of any good shops in seattle/tacoma, wa.

I made this custom LED turn signal but ended up not using it

CrazyFresh's single headlight.

As some of you know that CrazyFresh got into an accident a week or so ago and one of the headlights that I had modified got damaged. Recently he sent me the new replacement headlight for some work and here it is .

Updated trade-in list!

I reworked the list and here it is, I am almost done with the Group buy and headlights are now available for trade in program here in this thread.

NOTE: If you want any of the following mods for your headlights then kindly get the required stuff asap since it takes a while for them to be shipped. If your turn is up and I still havent received all your stuff then your turn will be given to next person in line until I get the stuff from you. You dont need to provide me with paint if you are getting your headlights blacked out.

Following is where you can get the parts required for each mod. Please note that I dont support/endorse any of the vendors linked below. People who have bought stuff from them before can be contacted to get info on customer support.


Info on where to purchase


CCFLs : Ebay store
Paint : Paint Scratch
Carbon Fiber trim : Ebay store
ZKW replica lenses: Ebay Store


If you need to make any adjustment to the list then kindly do so and repost the list.

Also, list is ONLY for people who are in for trade in program, to members who can send their headlights in they dont have to be on the list and wait.

Is it necessary to get the bulb upgrade to enjoy the benefits of the ZKW replica lens? My car is 3.5 years old with the original stock bulbs. Should I just pull the trigger on the bulb upgrade due to the age of my bulbs? Any recommendation would be appreciated. Thanks.

Nightfox.Technologies--Blacked out
MaxAmillion-- Cleared

Mark sent all of his stuff in a few weeks ago and since I havent heard back from any one on the list before him or have gotten their stuff in I took care of his headlights yesterday.

Colormatched AM, CCFLs and ZKW replicas.

I am trying to get through the list as quickly as possible so if you havent sent your stuff in kindly do so asap. I have 4 sets available for the trade in program so the 04-05 list will be taken care of swiftly.

























PS. if you are thinking about getting the bulb upgrade then I'd say go for it. The 85122+ are brighter than your OEM Osrams but they will be a bit less bluer and the color might not be for everyone.

Here is what you should expect, output is from a set of AP1 S2000 projectors and Phillips 85122+ bulbs.

Got the LEDs from Oznium. Then had to cut open the side markers to replace the OEM ones. See this thread: https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=176820

^ $150 for labor, $25 for trade in program, you'll need to supply JnC with the CCFLs from the link in post #1. You will also have to cover shipping both ways... its about $30 for 2-3 business insured delivery. Its more for color-matched (I believe labor costs are $150 and you need to order a 12oz can of paint from the link in post #1).
