No, there was a mix-up in shipping. I am scheduled to receive them on Friday. So, maybe next week I'll get them installed I'll keep you posted.

JnC, got the headlights today. They are BAD ASS!!!! Unfortunately, I am leaving out of town first thing in the morning...so I won't be able to install until next week, maybe the following given thanksgiving.

Did I say they are BAD ASS!!! Very impressive work!!

JNC, I sent you a PM about 3 weeks ago and haven't heard from you. I wanted to see about my lights but also for a friend with a different car to see if you can do his? Please check your PM and get back to me. Thanks.

Sorry man, i just bought a house and a business in boston and have been busy moving stuff around and still am in the process of bringing things to a point where they can be called "normal". Bear with me, I intend to take care of all of you who have gotten in touch with me recently.

Here are some additional pictures of the color matched headlight housing and ZKW lenses JnC did for me. They look incredible!! I am using the 7443 turn signal bulbs as well, silver when off, amber when on. I hope to have everything installed this week; otherwise it will be next week for sure.

Here are the pics







Here's a pic of the car a few mods ago...before rear aspec.

Well, finally completed the project. Had the color matched headlights with ZKW lenses and 7443 Silver/Amber turn-signal bulbs installed. They look real sweat!!! I’ll get some daylight shots tomorrow, but for the moment here are some night pics…

As you can see, the ZKW lenses produce a real sharp cut-off…






You can sort of see the color match paint of the headlight housing in this pic…



Was trying to get a shot of the 7443 turn-signal bulb…was a little shaky…



Pretty cool rainbow of color coming out of the projectors…



Given the headlight theme, thought this shot fit in…

Everything looks good , you do need to reaim your driverside though, just raise it so that the whole ouput i.e. from both the beams look like this

___________/'''''''''''''''_________/''''''''''''''''''''



This is how your beam should look like

Hey JnC, does that mean I have to take to bumber off to get to the adjustment screws? I don't want to take it back to the shop if I don't have.

Again, great work JnC...they look awesome. I'll post day time pics later today

No, there is a screw hidden behind the headlight but is accessible from the top even with all the molding on, it should have some sort of marking on it as well saying clockwise or anti-clockwise for U (up) and turn the other way for D (down). Just stick a phillips head screwdriver through that hole and rotate it to raise the driver side.

By the way, do the adjustment at night and against a flat wall and park your car 50 plus feet away from the wall.
