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.
Thank you sir! I'll continue once I have more free time.

not just that the LED in the signal area looks nice....

Thanks! I think the two tones look really nice as well.

Car looks great.

Btw, why do people care so much about the cut off? What's the big deal, it's a defined line above the light mark... And?.... Not hating, just don't understand it.

well, i think those sharp cut off lines were originally from bmw and mercedes, where their projectors were done that way with clear lens. they're more intense and brighter. that's what refrofitters are trying to achieve these days.

it's not a simple plug and play, it'll take me some times to get everything right.

mod bugs are coming again...
sorry guys for all the delay, but my modding interest hasn't been consistent recently. sometimes i would want to work on my car, sometimes i just don't feel like it at all....

well, here's one shot i took today, since last accident i've retrofitted my fogs with maxima fogs. YES, i'm still working on my dual projectors headlights, sorry for taking so long, but i just need some motivation to continue and i'm gonna do it soon.


my new interior shot here, i wanted something different for the radio, but just didn't have time to really start on it. Roger has helped me do this mod and i wanted the two knob rings to be white and wanted them to light up evenly, so 4 white leds were replaced around each knob. they look WAY better in person IMO.


that's it for now, i hope to really get started on my headlights soon. motivation motivation.....sigh...

I didn't know you did LED work! I would have asked you to do my turn signals for my quads! I am not going to open those AGAIN.

Looking good though, can't wait to see them finished.

Yes just mini H1s, I plan on putting those morimoto angel eyes around them. I still have to decide which lights I want on or off during day and night time. I DO want to use the H1's high beam with my OEM set up together.

Once I'm done with these, I'm not gonna reopen them again as well....so I'll have to make sure everywhere is up to par beforehand.

I'm only using them for my DRL mini H1 projectors, and you won't be able to see them outside.

Lol. The headlight world is a fairly small one!

I believe the stock TLs are slope, correct?

Oh then I would need step. Let me mess around with it like Matt from TRS said and see if I need a new one or not. I'll PM you if I do.

Step shields are hard to find.
I think they're only available in 2004 and 2005 models if i remember correctly.
My 2006 TL projectors comes in slope shields.
