There are two.
One has a more of a blue shade to it the other is more flat-white. Both great colors.
They are:
Starfire Pearl [077] and Glacier Frost Mica [074].
I absolutely love the Starfire Pearl. Was going to get it... then opted out for a new color [which I haven't done yet].
I think someone on the forum has the Lexus "white pearl" if you want to check it out. uhm...

Oopsy my mistake. It's been a while I haven't looked at the colors.
I personally like the Starfire pearl.
The Glacier Frost Mica is a very unique pearl, though. It's got this different white pearl to it.. then as the sun hits white with a subtle hint of blue... and as the sun starts setting and night rolls in... it's like this goldeny-white pearl.

Yeah some of my dash board/steering wheel and a few other lights gone out. How long did it take you to change all the lights?

We should hook up sometimes for lunch or something like that.

very long time...
if you have a second vehicle to use while you're at it. that'd be better!

update on my bday guys....everything should be ready by next summer. lol


put 8 domed LED on my black chroming housings....


what they look like when light up, still deciding if i should have them on for only DRL or all the time.....


switchback signal area, with amber signal on only version type 2 you can say, this picture is only showing white. amber will have 4 times more leds than white:


as for projectors, been reading up on prism-star shield mods and i guess people would know what i'm working on with this picture:


here's a video of the prototype still at work:


my hallway is lighted up pretty well, so it's not as clear as you can, but you get the point. the diamond shape like at the end of the cutoff. this is around 50 ft away:


my stainless steel spacing rings for our projectors, comes in 5mil and 10mil depends on your liking:


where you put the ring:


that's all for now. wifey wanna go out to celebrate~!~ thanks for looking!!

fk your maxima foglights we need MORE pictures of these headlights!

Holy mother of God. I swear, normally I like it to look simpler but you have absolute perfection on your hands. Obviously, you know your sht since retros' aren't a walk in the park. WHere were you when I had my RSX!?!?!

Anyway, I'm officially requesting an official headlight photoshoot. Them being on the car is optional.
