love the offset too. in your pic it seems that tl can even go a little lower on the offset also.

ok here are some pictures of my headlights in process....

best thing to clean your plastic front cover is paint thinner, it'd useful to have an air compressor in hand to blow all the dusts out as well:



the black chrome parts i've waited for almost a month:



added the type s diffusers:



with the front covers back on:



example of what the headlights would look like before i put them back and seal them together properly:


overall i am very happy with the housing, they actually match my rims and type s tailights! it was worth the wait!!

i'll have more updated pictures when these babies are installed....

ok...update...
put those headlights on this weekend since the weather was soooo beautiful and hot!!



















cut off from zkw lens, height adjustment of the headlights were pretty easy i might say:


I'm happy with the result overall, just waiting to get another set of resistors for my switchback signals.....also have to find time to mod my front side markers....

ed99

Looks good Sam!!! Time to lower your TL a bit more

tclavell

WOW! lights look great!

The more I see your car, the more I like those wheels. Car is looking very nice

elkayem

Wow are those my diffusers?
I'm glad they're put to good use!

HQTL6SPD

wow those headlights look sick! wish you lived closer to do mine like that!!

Distorted Reality

Looks sick the headlights, especially the zkw. Definately a nice job. I would say drop it some more though.

Speechless... and I thought noone was gonna up the headlight bar, but you sir have succeeded.

Excellent use of the TL-S diffusers. I may actually go back and do another set and do that. That looks so clean and proper.

Love the black chrome too. I was gonna do just that at one point, couldn't find anyone who could execure the black nickel plating to my liking. I still like the dark colormatch on WDP, but what you've done deserve mad props.

Glad I could be the inspiration...

Please share the ZKW love.

Funny you mention switchbacks, I just installed those, and finished off the side marker mod as well.

"warm and fuzzy all over"...

hehehe...i'll see what i can do with that...gotta roll my fenders first....thanks!

thanks tclavell!! i love those rims more and more every day too!!

Yes they are! thanks! but i had to polish, detail and wax them as much as possible due to the scratches on there before.....but thanks!

thanks!! i've waited for half a year to get this done....waiting was the hard time...
but yea...would love to help out as much as i can if you were closer.

zkw FTW! i still can't get enough of these lens!! i turn them on just to see the cut off!! hehehe....
for lowering more, i might just consider it...

thanks chris!! you were my inspiration on headlights....gathered so much info from you and other acuraziners!! i am kinda late in the game....you still have my #1 vote on headlights~!
yes i'll share those zkw love! switchbacks are working perfectly now....will take some pictures soon....gotta get my side markers done soon....

thanks for the praise!

What tire size are running with your wheels?

lights

iTrader: (1)

thanks!! i'm running falken F452 235/35/19 tires, i wanted to go with 245 before, but with 30 offset i couldn't go too wide...hence my car isn't lowered as much as i wanted....

Nice mirrors too...

Are switchbacks illegal in Vancouver?

JCL622

wow very clean!

I'm really loving those rims.. where and how much did you pay for them??? If you don't mind me asking....

lights

iTrader: (1)

so far i've been driving at night with switchbacks with zkw lens, lovin them...
not too worry about them since my signals still amber. you can't really put switchbacks without resistors or they'll hyper flash and going white and amber colors back and forth in high speed, you're looking for trouble.

technically alot of things in vancouver are illegal, so just be careful how you mod them.

nice mirrors as in what? not quite get you....the type s side mirrors??

thanks! i try to keep my TL clean as much as possible.

everything with shipping, tires, TPMS, installing and balancing costed me just over $3200....

car looks awesome.. now i know what i want my headlights to look like.. lol

chill_dog

I like the headlights...looks like what I was planning last year, sans the CF. My plans have since changed, though, so no need to worry about a twin running around .

Now where are those custom inserts? I know, I know...just messing with you...

civictrix

awesome work man. so you work at a metal fab shop? I work at one over here on the east coast.

elkayem

I kinda want switchbacks too..
Where'd you get them?

Yup, I didn't notice you got the 07 Mirrors until now.

iTrader: (1)

now since i moved my front plate to the side, i wanna cut out the "A C U R A" with stainless steel....can someone direct me where i can get a 1:1 scale drawing for those letters?

if not, i might have to measure them myself....

civictrix

come on man are you serious. if you are a CAD junky you know what to do. if not PM me and I will do it for you

pic, trace, measure, scale ...come on man, it doesn't take that long

lights

iTrader: (1)

haha...hey...i don't have much spare time do to mods on my TL....
if you can or have time, please do make me one in dxf, dwg or anything you can come up with in 1:1 scale and send them to ngsam@rogers.com


that'd be nice of you.

civictrix

hmmm, alright, I will see if I can get one sent out to you today

civictrix

alright man, i sent it. let me know how it works out for ya

lights

iTrader: (1)

alright man! thanks! enjoy your july 4~
will take pictures when i put them on.

lights

iTrader: (1)

alright civictrix, thanks for your dxf file! but i had to do some more adjustment to make the scale as close as possible to fit....here are some pictures of the ACURA word cut on 10mil stainless steel.





back to the front side markers, i've found some pieces of wooden strips at a craft store and used it for the base:



as you can see, i tried to layer it as close as possible to the lens so i can get them as bright as i can:


test them before installation:


this is what it looks like at night:

elkayem

Did you drill into the bumper?

JCL622

led side marker also looks amazing!
