I had seen someone a while back asking about a place on the Left Coast to do the clearing of corner signal lights so he didnt have to ship all the way out.

Well here you go.

Rego Sport
Glendale, CA
810 E Colorado St
818-547-3337
Guy I worked with was Harry (I think hes the owner)

I just had it done there and he did a very good job.
If you bring in your lights its $140, if you want him to pull the bumper its gonna be an extra $30 or $40.

I know you all are gonna kill me for not posting pics, but I will add them to here ASAP. I'm going to try and get them added today.

PS: He said he had done another 04 TL last week as well. Anyone on here?

How'd it turn out? Did you have to replace the bulbs? If so, what kind did you go with?

darkfox12

damn 160 for cleared headlights? Do they do blacking out also? I want to clear my 02 headlights but i dont know if i want to drop 150. What did they use to glue it back up.

Rriderz

any guarantees on their work? what if they crack the lens or dont seal it up 100%?

ravingstylez

heyt hats a great price is 200

ravingstylez

not sayin isnt great for bein the fist but price is way too high

His price may be slightly higher, but would have no problem coughing up a few extra bucks to ensure a good job. If for some chance there wasn't a perfect seal and the lights got foggy, it would be a huge pain in the ass. At the same time though, it's very inconvenient to have to mail your headlights out and wait for them to be returned. =/

Teh Jatt

His work is very good..... ask me.

He blacked them out for you too? How much did that cost ya? Thanks.

Teh Jatt

well he charged me 265 cuz first i made him do something different... but i got ripped off when i mailed the lights to him, cuz UPS charged me alot, but when he shipped them back it was only like 30 dollars.

anyways i'm happy with the work so i really didn't care if i got overcharged or not!

Teh Jatt

265 for everything, including shipping.

VelfarreClubber

Except for jatts im sure most people seen his lights

Casper42

Doh, totally forgot about the pics.
I'm off to my garage with my Ghetto 2.1 Digi. back in a min

Casper42

Not the greatest pics in the world, but here ya go.

As for those asking about Quality Control.... I didnt get to see the lights as I made my dealer go pick them up from Rego Sport and then re-install them. So I never saw the lights before the mod or after the mod OUTSIDE of the car. But my dealer as well as a few guys in the service bay said they looked perfect when they got them back and my dealer was even considering taking his car down there to get his tail lights smoked.

As for what they do, I saw them doing clearing while I was there, as well as they were smoking out the rear lights on some MB. I dont know if they offer Painting like Jatts had done, but I wouldnt be surprised.

PS: Anyone with a Service Manual know how to change the side marker bulbs?
I'd like to change this from Yellow to either White, Blue, or Red

I got to see Casper's TL with A-spec and cleared lights this afternoon. The guy did a great job on the lights. They look great on an ABP. The A-spec kit looks fabulous. He got one sweet ride.

How long does it take? I'm going to LA on a business trip and I've got a few hours on a Saturday morning. Will that be enough?

J RIDE 81

We Need Some Better Pics Then That!!!!

Casper42

If he has to pull the bumper for you and do all the lights work, I'm guessing no. But I would simply call Harry and ask.

Casper42

Can you be more specific?
Different Angle?
Lights on?
Better camera?

I talked to some guy (didn't ask his name), and he said it'd take about 3 hours to complete: bumper and clearing.

darkfox12

Do you know if they will clear and black out 02 headlights?

MasterShake

iTrader: (1)

Call 'em up!

The guy said they close at 7pm. That leaves you about 90 mins to get on the horn!

SabosTL

I did my lights myself. It really isnt that hard. But then I am a woman and pay attention to detail, which may be the reason I find it easy. Just playin... I'll get some pics up as soon as I can... I balckened and removed the amber lens, but didn't blacken them the way Jatt did... Guess this thread is useless without pics, huh?

LesinSD

Ok I had them do mine this morning. Made the drive from SD, and LA traffic is horrid. Anyway it took them about an hour and half to 2 hours to do it. Cost was $150 for them to take the bumber off and clear. I asked about guarantee on his work and he said that if it ever leaks or fogs up to bring it back and he'll reseal them. He also said that he doubled sealed them They did a good job, nothing fell off on the way back home, so it's all good.

VelfarreClubber

YUP!

VelfarreClubber

Looks very nice, but dude clean your garage! i see a pile of dust next to the door track

Casper42

I think it just means he put a coat of sealant on, let it dry and then put a second coat over that. Harry told my dealer he did the same on my car when my dealer picked up the lights.

LesinSD

Yeah, that's what I was kind of thinking. I guess I should've asked him what he ment. I was to busy trying to make a deal on a set of wheels and tires.

I got my turn signals and headlight housing painted black by them this weekend.
Took about 2 hours and cost $160 (150 + 10 for orange bulbs).

I'm going to wash my car tomorrow and hopefully have some pictures up that night.

Although it doesn't seem as if anyone cares....

here are the pictures:

VelfarreClubber

Cool, exactly like jatt's car. but why paint the silver ring around the headlights black!????

MasterShake

iTrader: (1)

I'm not sure exactly what you are talking about. I looked at the pictures of Jatt's car again and they look the same.
Anyways, I didn't do it myself. I let the guy at Rego Sport do it.

I was a bit worried that it'd look like a Darth Vadar car being NBP with black lights, but the white ones they had pictures of in their books looked hideous. They didn't have any TLs in their books, but the other car's lights looked TOO white.

Casper42

Looks Schweet Mastershake. Glad Rego Sport has been working for people here. It was a leap of faith on my part but it seems like he does good work.

VelfarreClubber

Shake i guess you haven't paid close attention to the stock headlight assembly. There is a silver color ring surrounding the headlights look here http://img86.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img86&image=DSCF0062.jpg ; )

MasterShake

Thanks, yeah the guy said it was the first black light he did. I was a little worried but it turned out okay.






I remeber seeing it before, now. The guy showed me the light after he had painted it and I didn't remember then. It probably would look better with the silver ring. How hard would it be to remove the paint on just that one part

Jerky

Master Shake, im in the bay area, whats the contact info to get headlights cleared out?

do you have name/number/cost of your contact?

terse
