Well I'll be a vendor at least till the end of the year, at that point I'll see if I want to carry on with the commitment or not. If I dont then I'll be posting all my sets for sale but if I do then I wouldnt have anything for outright sale. Again, at this point I cant say anything since I might just end up keeping all the 8 sets I have in circulation right now.

Why dont you get on the list and get a set with trade in?

Cleared/blacked out V2.
ZKW replica lenses
Partially painted type S clear defuser.

I am waiting on LED strips to come in within the next few days, they are prewired and are flexible, I'll try to incorporate them into the TL/CL headlights to see how they look .




and this is how they look installed.





Pictures are borrowed from fellow members from HIDplanet.

I'll keep this thread posted.

I thought of that strip a long time ago but it's just in the way of the headlight/fog. It will look good in the daytime but at night it might look stupid and produce shadows. Then again if you get one that is super thin, it might work out. Get one that is long enough to wrap all the way, the headlight is longer than most headlight designs out there.

Na, you should know me, I am less about the bling and more about the performance. The stock set up was too horrid for me to bare even a few days, so right after I got the car I upgraded the headlights, swapped the 06 projectors for 04 DOT step style TL projectors + real ZKW lenses + set of new 85122+ bulbs. Painted the headlights RRP and also the amber bits in the Type S defuser but later changed the defusers to pieces of CF, they came out great actually since they match the side markers.

I am working on another set for myself though but it might take a while before I install it.

07 base headlights
Color matched
Stock projector replaced with one from an 04 DOT style projector paired with 06 bowls + pair of 85122+ bulbs.
DRL opening in the 07 headlights will be altered to house a set of Ap1 clear lensed projectors , again paired with 85122+ bulbs.
LED turn signals.

This project will take time and in the meantime I think the current set up will suffice .

The set I am getting is 10" long, I have to try to fit them in a set of 2G CL headlights and while doing so I'll try to see if I can some how incorporate them in the TL headlights without it looking cheesy.

don't they have red glowing rings with white finish? I think they'd look better if they were finished in white so they're white when they're off.

Not sure, but the red outline looks pretty nice when there off. I dont think white would have gone with my all black theme maybe on a WDP.
