I hear that. I (believe) I was the 2nd or 3rd person that JnC cleared the lights for. This was before he actually was doing it as a vendor on the site. It breaks my heart to see everyone with his headlights because I paid a pretty good premium to be one of the first on the block. lol

Hell - I believe between the ZKW's, the clearing, phillips bulbs, and the shipping - I've probably got over a grand into those headlights.

Next? Getting some Hiros before they get hard to find being discontinued last year.

This stuff is pretty easy to do yourself, anyone on here tackle these headlight projects themselves or always pay someone else to do it?

Some have more cahones than others. I'm willing to pay somebody to do the job correctly instead of jeopardizing the integrity of the headlamp with substandard work by myself. In a way, I consider the monies paid to JnC to tackle the project himself sort of an insurance policy.

No I understand It took me awhile to get comfortable sticking my headlights in the oven to open them up. I came from a community where if you wanted to do this type of thing you did it yourself cause there was no one around taking orders. Once you learn how to do this type of work the possibilities are endless though! I cant wait till I get my TL! soon enough you can expect all kinds of stuff from me!

Here is one of my headlight retros on my Legend. Turn signals were inspired by the TL lights with a twist.

To add to my last post... I think sticking them in the oven for me wouldn't be an issue. Taking the things apart, painting them, etc., probably wouldn't be too difficult. But my fear is getting them back together and having them be in the same shape before I took them apart. JnC has a good track record, and he has quite a lucrative side job to boot.

JNC relax dude no ones trying to thread Jack, if that were the case I would have posted pics of the headligts I did. It was one reply, and just stating facts and experiences I went while doing mine.

I'm sure you have nothing to worry about, people will still send you their headlights. Your work is top notch

Not worried at all just felt like Mr. Roger's comments a bit out of place, thanks for the kind words by the way.

but I see what you're saying. But the guy doesn't even own a TL yet, besides what's he gonna do that you haven't already done? You've created some great headlights. Everything else will just be a copy. Keep up the great work!

Peace brother.

Hey man I'm not trying to move in your business here I just have never seen one guy making headlights for a whole forum. I was just curious if there was a reason why people don't just do this work themselves. I just got my TL last week and I plan to doing mine soon so I have been looking around reading everything I can about all the different mods available. I am one of those people who never ever takes there car to a mechanic I do all my work myself and this includes all my modifications unless I just don't have the time. You do great work though man very inspirational sorry if my comment came across as a thread jacking.

Thanks man its hard to move on from the Legend but I think it was time Question for you though I really like this style with the amber blacked out from behind but have you ever made this style but left the chrome bar their without blacking it out?? Just curious I think it might look good and was thinking about doing it.

originally jnc modded them up! then i had a small fender bender (where the headlight took all of the punishment) and my body shop was acting like some biotches about sending the new headlight to jnc so i just opened up the new one and re-did it myself. i basically mocked his work on my old headlight. i think i did pretty good for a 1st time around person
