Hey JnC... you think it would be possible to wrap the headlight and drl surround with di noc without having to worry about it melting or causing other problems?

The Di-noc stuff softens once you apply heat, in order to work it around corners etc but if you apply too much heat, being that its a vinyl with CF texture on, it starts loosing that CF look/texture. It may look good for a while but eventually over time it wont hold its look, especially when its getting the constant heat from the DRL.

Did the following project for a local customer over the weekend. The headlights are from an 07-08 base TL, customer had a set of vinyls installed on the lights that were removed, the adhesive for the vinyl some times reacts with the front lenses to cause spider webbing affect in the lens, small cracks that are skin deep and can not be fixed with buffing or sanding. In this case the damage was minimal as the vinyls were installed not too long ago. Headlights were resurfaced and clear coated as well.


Details

07-08 TL base headlights
Blacked out V2 (Matte Black)
USR clear diffusers (partially painted)
USR LED Quad halos
ZKW-R clear lenses
Complete front lens resurfacing.

Is it possible to remove the projectors from an 05 TL and insert them into non-projector type TLS headlight? The TLS headlights are aftermarket headlights.. I assume the OEM kind comes with projectors in them?

Thanks..


The last I heard, you don't have any 07/08's for sale.

What's up..
I'm new to the site and can not pm you...
I took apart my headlights apart (lense off housing on both left and right headlight) after seeing what you did I'd like to send them to you to finish the job. That's the exact look I was going for. I'm out of ct and I can send them tomorrow. If you could call me I'd appreciate it. I'm not on this site all the time. Thanks Greg

Per our PM conversation, let me know if you were able to file the claim with USPS. I forwarded you all the pertinent info but if they still need me to send you over something then shoot me over a text.

Thanks for the kind words . The lenses get rejuvinated most of the time depending on how badly they are damaged/worn.

Hey JnC

I'm looking for exactly below, but with Chrome strip: Is this doable? and what are next steps if so.

REALLY love you work!

You'll need to source clear diffusers (USR or TL-S). Goodluck on the USRs.
