It's a cool idea but I think that those LEDs don't look right in our headlights. Or at least I haven't seen any that look that good. Sorry if that's your thing and you like it more power to you but I am just not feeling it

Looks nice but, can the angel eyes and led strip be on only at the same time or can you have each one on separately? It's a little overkill with both; there's too much going on in the headlight.

Looks real nice Rafiton. That's a lot of light!

I actually think some people's (negative) opinions of the led strips is going to change once bforbrian finishes his. The progress pics he's posted look very promising with the led's spaced out.

I tried to buy some LED stip, that the LED were more separated, but every option I gave JnC he told me it wouldn't work. So I was kind of bump out, but when I got the headlights and look at them in person is a whole another deal. They don't look like in the pictures and that has to do a lot with the viewing angle(I think). I was doubting if getting them, but now I dont regret it.

Yes I can turn them on/off separetly, I installed 2 switches inside the car and the whole wiring is separated fron any harness or cable from the car, just one cable to the battery. Yes I do live in Puerto Rico.

Well he never told anything about not doing it because they were Type-S. I bought the headlight from him, sent him the halos and strip, sent to me.

I'll try to put some pictures at day and they look pretty sweet. Thanks for your input guys. I Planned this MOD for 6-7 month and In very happy with it.

yea I think that's what is it. Its a bit of an over-kill with both. Angel eyes look so good tho by themselves.

Nice work!! I think it looks pretty good.. I do agree tho, that the led's are sorta played out now since everyone is doing it to their TL, but dont get me wrongs, your work is very creative. I like the angel eyes tho. Maybe if u put some switchbacks it would look so much better. That orange looks sorta out of place on a NBP.

Finally someone put a pic up, I know JnC made so many of these already. Good job. A bit much for me too, but nice nonetheless.

What do you mean you bought the headlight from him? i've been waiting to see if he had an extra set of TL-S lights so i wouldn't be without headlights...i have the dual halo kit and cf ready, just waiting for his extra set

looks great btw.
