I guess you'll be the first, and I'll be expecting something better than nice.

^^ Well I just got these to test fit, if someone is willing to have them installed I will install. They are very thin and very bright as you can see, reliability is the only issue with them since the leds are unbranded. In the future I might even make a strip of white 5 mm LEDs myself to install in the headlight since they are brighter and have a wider viewing angle.

Dual halos for 04-06 headlights

Good news for people who want Dual Halos for their 04-06 TLs. AACstyle just came out with a dual halo kit for the 04-06 headlights.

I haven't seen or worked with this particular kit before but I have worked with AAC style product, their quality is top notch .

Hey JnC question for you. Those L.E.D. Strips are you still looking for someone to do the first set of headlights with them. And how much extra are those going to cost. Are they gonna turn on when the side markers are on or when the headlights turn on?

They were $30 shipped for a pair, I will paint most of them black to match the inside plastic and leave the functional part transparent. CCFLs are usually easy to install but to install these I'd have to do extra work i.e. painting them and making sure they are fixed properly to the inside, PM me on pricing. As far as how to hook them up? Well I much rather have you wire them with as separate switch rather than through parking or low beam switch. This way you will only turn them on when needed rather than having them on all the time.

USAF2008-- I'll email you but I am not sure if you are still interested, I just read your post in the other thread. Let me know so I can take you off of the list.

3zero3kit-- I replied to your PMs.

Rugel -- For angel eyes you would have to buy them off of ebay and have them shipped to me. For WDP TL I'd suggest blacking out the headlights or just clearing them, blacked out would look good if you are also planning on installing the TL-S tail lights and side markers.

Ussi-- I'll be replying to all my email soon, I havent updated my emails in a couple of days.

Sardo17-- I'll reply to your email soon with others, for now 3zero3kid has shown interest in having the LEDs installed, if that falls through then I'll update you.

Kris, they auction link that I posted in my post above states them to be 10,000, which is pretty blue.

JnC sorry if u already got this I just never received a reply.....I'm definately interested in doing this. Just a few things I wanna clear up real quick. Do you think that the lights will look better tinted or cleared. I was kind of thinking the cleared would look better but I could be wrong. Also are the LEDs to bright for night time driving (for oncoming traffic)? So if we go cleared we are looking at 200 correct and 225 for blacked out? Let me know. Thank you.

I answered your PM, not sure why you didnt get it. Cleared or painted is a personal choice, many people have done the SSM color match, I think there are some pictures of ssm color matched headlights in the beginning of this thread. LEDs are very bright and as I suggest to you earlier it would be better if you install with a dedicated switch i.e. have them on whenever you want to and being able to turn them off when the low beams are on. Pricing for the LEDs installed is $50, that includes price of the LEDs, all the other costs i.e. labor/shipping/trade in charge fee are mentioned in the beginning of the thread (first post).

The new one hasnt been installed by anyone on the board yet, or at least as far as I know. AAC style products are usually pretty good.
