Custom Headlights by JnC, continued.
For someone who wants type S headlight look i.e. partial amber diffuser here is an option
Blacked out V2 with partial amber diffuser.
The area behind the diffuser is painted black to give the diffuser a smoked out look, sort of like how it is in the above picture of the headlights onf st04louis' WDP TL. This area can also be left chrome to have a more prominent amber rather than the subtle affect that can achieved by painting the reflector behind black.

Actually this looks really good. Can you change my request from amber to partially aber w/ the chrome strip painted back.
Thanks,

Is there a reason to paint the fog light bulb cover. Is it just for looks? Does it actually block out the light so you can just see the fogs on? Confused and a noob when it comes to TL lights. Just want to know if this is an option i might want to go with. Thanks in advance.

Weekend project
Lankanboy from Canada sent me his CDM headlights for some work, car was in an accident at some point in its life as the passenger side headlight is badly damaged. Lets see if I can mend it back together.

Ok the problem is that the halos are TOO small, as you can see that they come inside the projector bezel
if u really want that i might be able to give u a good deal, But i woudnt suggest you doing that.

Thanks Farr, I looked it up from the link on V-LED's to Sylvania's bulb charts, and I thought there was something wrong.....
