JnC Headlights - Before & Afters
Got my headlights up to, and back from JnC this weekend. Got everything put back together and washed the car (Brrrr).
The results are stunning. They really transform the front of the car. Here are some before and afters.

^^ Thanks to JnC on the headlights...my only task was getting them off and back on again...
You know I really want to see a CBP with the midnight chrome grille & rear trim, I won't be going that route as it's too much bling for me.... I've got some other plans anyway

^^ The removal was actually pretty easy. I followed the install guide for the lip kit which shows how to take the bumper off. I took my time and ran into a few more bolts to remove due to the lip kit that I already had installed. But I would say to remove the headlights took me 1hr from start to finish. Putting them back took a little bit of work to get them in the right place, you need to work em in a bit. But I did everything by myself and I didn't find it too difficult.
One IMPORTANT note, make sure you remove the temp sensor on the underside of where the front license plate is before you pull the bumper off. I didn't and totally broke the thing off, had to superglue it back in place.

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, a stupid driver rear ended my TL yesterday, so until I get my rear bumper replaced, no more mods 
. BTW the car held up well in this unfortunate event thanks to the pointy shape of the rear end. Need new bumper, license plate and light assembly for plate. All else seems to be fine.

you did and obviously do great work, I'm so tempted to get started, i already got the angel eyes. Im concerned with moisture getting in after you break the factory seal. Do you think paint the inside the same as the car color would look good? I have the Girgio color

JnC is the man when it comes to headlight mods. Contact him for more info. I think color matched would look awesome, waiting for someone to go that route. The seal that JnC does I think is actually better than the stock, so I wouldn't worry about that.

If you have the body kit already, there are more bolts than listed in the document. But I found it pretty easy to pull off...

Probably if they leaked I couldn't take them back to the dealer and ask for a new set, but since JnC does such a good job, I'm not too worried about that. But you wouldn't void the warranty on anything else in your car by taking them out.

Haha, awesome... I have to say your post just made my day! If you look ONE post above your's you'll get your answers...haha.
Also, try to ask your question once, instead of on every headlight thread.

No prob!
You'll have to check with JnC on the headlight process. Basically, you take your headlights out and send them to him. He works his magic to make them pretty and sends them back to you.
I'm one of the lucky local people who was able to drive my lights up to him, so I was only without my car for a weekend.
Good Luck
